Forgotten Silence

The Profile

Forgotten Silence is a Czech progressive/avant‑garde metal band formed in 1993, known for long-form, genre-blending compositions that draw from prog, death metal, jazz, folk, and psychedelic elements.

From the review: Kro Ni Ka (2006) is cited as the fifth album, built from three lengthy tracks with many short, shifting sections; vocals are sparse and whispered; keyboards are notably prominent; drumming is irregular and distinctly progressive. Influences referenced include Rush, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, and structural parallels to early Opeth.

LUGREZZO reviews Forgotten Silence’s Kro Ni Ka (2006), calling it the band’s fifth album and an elusive pivot toward prog rock/metal with jazz, folk, and psychedelic touches. The record runs just over an hour but features only three sprawling tracks, built from many short, shifting sections. Vocals are sparse and whispered; instruments lead, with prominent keyboards and dynamic, irregular drumming. References include Rush, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, and early Opeth’s long-form approach. Final vibe: adventurous and rewarding, rated 4/5.
