Signs Of Stillness is an industrial gothic metal project founded by us:  multi-instrumentalist/producer Martijn Luimes and vocalist and songwriter Judith Luimes

In 2023 we left one of the most densely populated area’s in Europe, the Netherlands. We felt trapped in a pace of live that we couldn’t keep up with anymore. 

We wanted something different: nature, silence, fresh air, clear skies.

So we moved … 2200 km to the beautiful North of Sweden. Starting a new life surrounded by nature.  

Here we find everything our souls yearned for: space to experience the fullness of life and give room to our creative side. All surrounded by beautiful forests, lakes, mountains and rivers.

In our music you’ll find everything the North of Sweden has to offer: contrast, light and darkness, moonlight and magic, natural and human made. And of course a lot of room for introspection.  A true escape from the madness of the world into the magic of what life is all about.

We are non-touring artists and work from our studio at home where we craft our own music. In true industrial gothic fashion, this alchemistic process results in a captivating  merger of Martijn’s darker and more agressive sounds with Judith’s haunting vocals. 

Right now we are working on the release of our debut album Chasing Echoes. This album is a document of a very dark time in our lives where we had to deal with narcissistic abuse. We  embark on an inner journey into our shadows, that ultimately leads to a return to the light. You might be able to resonate with the emotions it evokes, so you also can find healing from the darkness of this world.

Stay tuned for updates on our music and our life in the North of Sweden. In the meantime, enjoy our EP “Passion”!
