Silence Screams is the 10th release, and eighth studio album, by American Christian rock band Resurrection Band (known at this point as REZ), released in 1988 (see 1988 in music). This is the first album the band released on their own record label, Grrr Records, and the first with new bassist Roy Montroy, since Jim Denton left the band in 1987 to enter theological seminary.

After the longest break between studio albums, REZ returned with a blues-based hard rock/metal sound that would set the pattern for all future releases, and was also indicative of the musical direction lead singer Glenn Kaiser would take in his solo career. The album is highlighted by a cover of Eric Clapton's "Presence of the Lord," which was the first in a string of cover tunes that REZ would include on almost every successive release.

Lyrically, the album's dark but hopeful lyrics focus primarily on the disenfranchised, whether they be victims of terrorism ("Someone Sleeps," proving that REZ was ahead of the curve yet again), greed ("Waitin' on Sundown") or racial profiling ("Three Seconds"). "Light/Light" is another of the album's highlights, and proved a popular live track throughout the 1990s.
