"Silence captures a strong atmosphere of harsh, cold, and dismal musical tones. It's great to see this album being reissued." - Apoch's Metal Review
"I would recommend this album to black metal fans as well as anyone who likes any kind of melodic metal with blackened influence." - Funeral Rain Zine
"This album is trying to catch the mood of silence and loneliness as perfect as a metal album could ever do so. It is a piece of art that you will recognize easily amongst 100.000 faceless albums." - Metal-Archives (90/100)
In other FESTER news, the current line up of Bjørn " Tiger " Mathisen (guitars/vocals), Jon Bakker (KAMPFAR, bass), Jotho (RAGNAROK, drums) and Thomas Andresen (vocals) are currently working on material for the band's long-awaited third full-length album. Slated for release later this year, this will be the first time the world has been treated to new music from FESTER in seventeen years. Guitarists Iannis (Nocternity) and Guido (Ysengrin) will be lending their talents to the release and famed ambient/industrial musician Mortiis will provide remixes. Norway's atmospheric masters have returned to once again change the face of black/death metal. Prepare yourselves...
