Known for intense live shows, SW has played at various venues/festivals in the UK including legendary industrial/electronic festival INFEST supporting Test Department.

Style wise the music is beat driven, with intense sub-bass, dense layers of synths/noise and distorted vocals.

Silent Weapon plans to release a new EP entitled “Cognitive Dissonance” which will feature 5 new songs including a cover of the

band Discharge. A new album will follow after.

“Sounds like sirens from a future war-ravaged city howl ominously as synth sounds are bent out of shape, yet continue to pile on the pressure with each track and by the end we feel both sandblasted and cleansed. Magnificent.” – Nightshift Magazine (Live review)

“It’s these fresh moments coupled with the distillate of the project’s core elements that result in Silent Weapon’s finest document to date.” – ReGen Magazine
