Violent Silence "A Broken Truce"

Country: Sweden
Sub Genre: Symphonic
Label: Progress Records
Release date: July 29, 2013

2. Rim Of Clouds

4. A Broken Truce

Line-up: 
Martin Ahlquist - Vocals
Johan Hedman - Drums/Keyboards
Anders Lindskog - Bass
Hannes Ljunghall - Keyboards

Description/Reviews: 

The new Violent Silence album is called A Broken Truce and will be the most epic thing they've done so far song-wise. It will consist of four elaborate, complex and dynamic tracks that all stretch past the 10-minute mark. All tracks have a different feel to them. Compared to earlier albums, A Broken Truce is slightly more melodic, and not quite as fast and heavy as some of their earlier material. Although the heavy element is still there, it's just less pronounced this time around, just to make things a bit more interesting for everybody.

Description/Reviews:

From the ashes of Swedish Proggers Violent Silence (four out of five members are joining in), comes this fine album with Hannes Ljunghall (composer/lyricist, keyboards & guitars) as main figure... It is a very interesting album that music wise is mainly keyboard orientated, you actually don't hear much guitar even though stated in the booklet. But you get loads of keyboard washes, soli & melody lines, underlined by fine bass and solid drums. Add to that the very fine voice/vocals of Bruno Edling. Some tracks, in the instrumental parts, reminds this old proghead of Greenslade and/or even Rare Bird at times. Ah, but there are also plenty of original ideas to be had... So, for those of you who want something new or different, but still within´ grasping range, this is really an excellent choice! Mind you, there are NO soaring guitar soli whatsoever- even so, this is pure, well executed, laidback, beautiful & addictive progmusic with heart.
