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:
“I love order. It’s my dream. A world where all would be silent and still and each thing in its last place, under the last dust.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“And what do I care if she marries another? every other night I dream of her dresses and things on an endless clothesline of bliss, in a ceaseless wind of possession, and her husband shall never learn what I do to the silks and fleece of the dancing witch. This is love’s supreme accomplishment. I am happy—yes, happy! What more can I do to prove it, how to proclaim that I am happy? Oh, to shout it so that all of you believe me at last, you cruel, smug people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
