Canadian synth wave/minimal synth/shoegaze duo Violentene (aka Roland Marckwort and Mvrijo) have returned with their new single “Break The Silence“.
The song is out today through Shore Dive Records & GrindEthos Records. Get it here.
Violentene was formed in 2017 by Ottawa musician Roland M. and New York City singer Dani Mari. After releasing two successful EPs, Denial and Phantom Youth, Dani left the project in 2019, and MVRIJO stepped in on vocals.
From the duo: “Break The Silence” is a cautionary story of escape, freedom, self worth, and ultimately creating a connection with another, breaking the silent walls between two humans..”

Violentene “Break The Silence” Lyrics:
City lights unfading
Shaped by the shadows of the night
I am barely breathing
Wish I could fix your damaged heart
Breaking me
Breaking the silence
Aching, aching in silence
Breaking me
Breaking the silence
Killing me
as i’m chasing the silence
Lost inside this feeling
As the cold sight of morning comes
Awaken the unwaken
While we’ve got to carry on pretending
You keep chasing the monsters in your head
You keep chasing the monsters in your head
Time is running, you keep chasing
Breaking me
Breaking the silence
Aching, aching in silence
Breaking me
Breaking the silence
Killing me
as I’m chasing the silence
