"More progressive than progressive rock, more intense than whatever, the art which Violent Silence proposes is neither easily describable nor comparable to anything else. The songs prove to be stuffed with genius and class... Do you want to discover a really original group? Here is one!"
Zicazic
"Violent Silence are widely touted as being the 'next big thing' in Swedish progressive rock circles"
DPRP

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 does not 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
"Loaded with polyrhythmic song structures and melodically original compositions, the talented Swedes have managed to record a genuinely progressive album. 'Kinetic' is highly recommended for anyone wishing to hear something different in the progressive genre that is all too often self-imitable and only progressive in a generic sense. 'Kinetic' will not be to everyone's taste, but is refreshingly original and surprisingly accessible. In short, a work of indisputable musical brilliance."
Metal Discovery
"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 obvious."
Ragazzi
"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 represent 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"

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 candidate for my personal Top 10 of 2005. It has a strange, but uncommonly fascinating sound structure. Violent Silence create a sound world that is completely their own, and they sound just as modern as timeless."
