ANTHEM OF THE CENTURY formed in 1998 as SILENCER 7 with the aim of creating a hardcore sound which was recognisable but not easy to pin down.

With a fast paced, melodic, yet biting hardcore sound reminiscent of bands such as Ignite and Battery. With new school mosh parts, sing-a-longs, and breathtaking melodies played at a breakneck momentum, ANTHEM OF THE CENTURY give off a definate vibe of the early days of hardcore, while pushing music into the 21st century.

Its all here for you on the amazing debut CD "Directions on a Compass", 11 tracks of pure hardcore power, which is a progression from their EP in 1999. Equally at home playing shows at small underground clubs, as filling in numerous supports with Better Than a Thousand, Shelter, Snapcase, Hot Water Music, Reach the Sky, Good Clean Fun and Agnostic Front.

In September 2001 ANTHEM OF THE CENTURY split up, after releasing one further release - a six track CDep on Join the Team Player. The new bands STEEL RULES DIE and SWORN IN formed from the ashes.
