Silenoz, (real name Sven Atle Kopperud born in October 1977), is a Norwegian guitarist who is a founding member, along with Shagrath and Tjodalv, of the Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir.
Silenoz has been behind the guitars since the band started. He composes most of the riffs and melodies that are a large part of the band's sound. He is also Dimmu Borgir's predominant lyricist, also contributing backing vocals which can be heard on "Stormblåst", its re-record and "Godless Savage Garden" as well as his bass contribution on "Stormblåst MMV". He also sung lead vocals on their debut album "For All Tid". In the early days of the band, he used as stage name Erkekjetter Silenoz (erkekjetter being Norwegian for "arch heretic"), having it shortened later to Silenoz.
Another band Silenoz, or "Ed Damnator" as he was called, played rhythm guitar in was the Norwegian thrash metal band, "Nocturnal Breed". Before becoming a musician Silenoz used to work in a kindergarten.
