The Sound of Silence  is a song by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. The song was written by Paul Simon over the period of several months between 1963â1964.
No song is uncoverable. James Blake does a faithful, beautifully sung version of âThe Sound of Silenceâ â but there is a genuinely great metal cover, too, by the Seattle band Nevermore. They completely rewrite the song, turning it into a thrash metal nightmare vision of Simon & Garfunkelâs future.
