Silent Lapse was formed in May of 2007 by brothers Mitchell and Taylor Feldpausch. The two recruited Matt Schrauben, Scott Martin, and Wyatt Aldrich to form a band whose main focus would be creating original music while pushing the members' creative and technical abilities.

In 2009, the band released Birthright, their debut full-length album, mixed and mastered in Orebro, Sweden by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Soilwork). In 2010, the band made the album available for free on their website, www.silentlapse.com. Read more on Last.fm.
