Experience Dreyer’s 1928 silent masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc like never before, reimagined with a punishing live metal score by The Silent Light. This cinematic rite of judgement and transcendence will be performed one night only live at The Texas Theatre on October 2nd, 2026.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.
