    Honestly, I'm glad. Silent Hill died with Team Silent.

    I gasped. For three reasons:
    1. The music was the only reason I continued to care about SH.
    2. I was listening to Silent Hill music as I saw it.
    3. Does this mean Mary won't be doing the songs anymore? ;;

    Well that's the final nail in the coffin. He might as well join Keiichiro Toyama (original SH director) to help with the Siren games....if they haven't completely died yet.
