The Silent Light performs Murnau’s Faust

Experience Murnau’s 1926 silent fantasy horror masterpiece Faust like never before, reimagined with a blistering live metal score by The Silent Light. This is a cinematic ritual of chaos and sound will be performed one night only live at The Texas Theatre on Oct 5th, 2025.

The Silent Light is a live film scoring project that performs original heavy metal soundtracks to classic silent films. Founded by composer and director Michael Formanski, the group reimagines iconic works like Metropolis, Faust, and A Page of Madness through immersive live performances that blend black metal, doom, and ambient soundscapes. The result is a visceral, cinematic experience that brings new intensity and emotional weight to century-old visuals.

Performances feature a powerful ensemble typically including guitar, drums, and synthesizers playing in sync with the film. Longtime collaborator Matt Hardy anchors the group’s rhythm section on drums, driving the dynamic shifts and ritualistic energy of each score. The Silent Light has built a growing following among fans of experimental film, underground metal, and dark fantasy.
