Silent Shout is the third studio album by Swedish electronic music duo The Knife, released on 17 February 2006 by Rabid Records. The album is darker than its predecessor, 2003's Deep Cuts. It spawned four singles: "Silent Shout", "Marble House", "Like a Pen" and "We Share Our Mothers' Health".
The album, the music video for the title track and some of the press photos were inspired by Black Hole by American cartoonist Charles Burns.
A three-disc deluxe edition of Silent Shout was released in Europe on 2 July 2007 and in the US on 17 July. In addition to the studio album, this package includes the DVD Silent Shout: An Audio Visual Experience—which contains The Knife's live concert in Gothenburg on 12 April 2006, as part of their Silent Shout tour, and all of the duo's music videos to date—, as well as a CD of the concert's audio.

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or shout:
“A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“So the blind will lead the blind, and the deaf shout warnings to one another until their voices are lost.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
