Violent Silence was a bit of a surprise, one of those bands that takes me a couple of listens to
get into, not because of music that is not accessible (their tunes are very approachable), but for
some reason I didn't appreciate it as much the first time. Once I got into it though, I found
Violent Silence to be a group with a familiar yet interesting compositional direction that
emphasizes the use of simple themes and melodies and moves the tracks along with clear
and powerful vocals. Being an album of just four songs, I couldn't help but love the format of
lengthy pieces that really let the ideas breathe and develop on their own without being in a rush
to squeeze in a formulaic number of verses and choruses. The opener, "Prism Path" is a great
example of this, particularly as you start to reach the last few minutes of the piece where the
band makes use of subtle repetition, growing dynamics, striking vocals, and the reintroduction
of an earlier theme to round off the song. Fans of neo-prog or 90′s revival ala' Morse or TFK
should dig this.
