"What a damn nice surprice this is! Violent Silence is a different Swedish 5-piece for sure, a band playing a very intriguing and quite original kind of progressive rock that makes the hair on my back curl in amazement!"
Imhotep
"Kinetic" has become no less than one of my personal all time favorite records."
Manticornio
"A master stroke, no less"
Prog-résiste
"In a musical climate dominated by stereotypical bands that infinitely repeat things made by others, Violent Silence forcefully demonstrate that they are a great new band."
Rock Impressions
"Top-rate music. Violent Silence have a fresh sound that just further expands progressive music.."
Aural Moon Radio
"If Kinetic doesn´t yield the band some major attention and give them a major push to the forefront of progressive music, then I would be very surprised, not to mention disappointed."
Sea of Tranquility
"In short, Violent Silence incontestably provides an album full with class and virtuosity, but they also take care not to be shoegazing."
Metal Chroniques
"Violent Silence is a TRUE progressive group, hear all! Their music is completely in opposition to suitabilities while borrowing from many different styles. The delicacy of the keyboards, alternating sounds of vibraphones and moog, in combination with the rhythmic power and the great voice of the singer all makes for an astonishing mixture."
Koid 9 Magazine
"Progressive rock with balls!"
Prog-Nose
"This is, and I stress this emphatically, one of the most original and most astonishing albums of the quarter and thus a group moreover to follow."
Harmonie Magazine
"The music of Violent Silence is highly original, is full of innovative ideas and sounds amazingly fresh. All of the band members work with their instruments, including a voice, so lively, inventively and effectively that you'll forget of anything while listening to the album."
Progressor
""Kinetic" is a dream that has become reality, and deserves big attention. Wonderful music that should appeal to both fans of old symphonic rock music and also perhaps to other rockers who only like some prog. The quality is apparent."
Ragazzi
"Violent Silence represents a playful crossover music, rich with nuance, that combine heavy propulsive rhythms with aerilly lyrical passages. All in a great number of original arrangements, frequently with different themes and rhythm patterns that are ingeniously contrasted with each other. Violent Silence clearly makes for a colorful and eventful listening experience, from a debuting band that gives a surprisingly mature impression."
Upsala Nya Tidning
"The album has a fine mix of uptempo tunes and slow ballad like tracks and most of all - it does not include any weak songs."
Background Magazine
"Because of the bands uniqueness in sound some things on the album might take a while to sink in. But I plead to anyone reading this to give this great band a thorough listen. Whether or not you prefer 70´s prog, prog metal or art rock. I promise you that you will not be disappointed. In a perfect world this would sell by the bucketload because to me this is nothing short of a future classic. Needless to say this is one highly recommended piece of music."
Progarchives
"In many ways remarkable. Violent Silence deserve to be listened to for their singular personality, which is already large. A beautiful discovery and a group which gives you every desire to examine it more closely."
Big Bang Magazine
"Kinetic offers progressive rock, of a somewhat more special kind, not too complex and in no way too mainstream. Great album, very talented musicians and one of the highlights of 2005."
Proggies
"As long as they keep their in all aspects unique sound intact , and continue to give us all encompassing events like the brilliant 18-minute "Quiet Stalker" Violent Silence can´t go wrong"
Sweden Rock Magazine
"Surprising and addictive Swedish group"
Progressive Area
"Ordered chaos in the tunes, like someone opened the Gates Of Delirium and let you in! Really, this is definitely among the best prog moments of the year. The technical capabilities of these guys are great, and I am particularly impressed by the inventive drumming and the scope of the keyboards. Can a band playing rock without any guitar be a kind of a rising star in the prog scene? Hell, YES!"
DPRP
"Breathtaking"
Tales Of Wonder
"...moving from classic prog to almost prog-classic in a heartbeat, as wave upon wave of proggy melodies and intricate yet cohesive arrangements unfold"
Dead Earnest
"Kinetic is one of the best records to come from Sweden in years!"."
Rock Symphony
It is always of interest when a band attempts the unthinkable and ‘progresses’ rock in the truest sense of progressive rock. Relative newcomers, Violent Silence, have done just that."
Hairless Heart Herald
"After repeated listenings I rate "Kinetic" as a canditate for my personal Top 10 of 2005. It has a strange, but uncommonly fascinating sound structure. "Kinetic" surely carries inspiration from bands such as UK or ELP, but Violent Silence create their completely own sound world and sound just as modern as timeless."
