"Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" is the debut from Wu-Tang affiliate Killarmy. The group consists of six MCs: Killa Sin, Beretta 9, Islord, 9th Prince, P.R. Terrorist (now Dom Pachino), and ShoGun Assasson; and one producer, 4th Disciple, who produced the majority of the album. Like Black Lung's album of the same name, the title was taken from a document that came to light in the mid-1980s detailing a NWO plan for world domination; a topic that was explored in Milton William Cooper's infamous book "Behold a Pale Horse".

"Silent Weapons" initially received mixed reviews from critics, who saw the group as a low-rent version of the Wu-Tang Clan [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:zxfm967ogepc] , due to similarities in the group's street-oriented, Five-Percenter rhymes and dark production. The album was well-received by Wu-Tang and underground Hip Hop fans, acclaimed for its unique combat themes and stellar production work.

The album features production from 4th Disciple, Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA, and guest appearances from Clan member Masta Killa, Clan affiliates Streetlife, and Hell Razah and Prodigal Sunn of Sunz of Man. The album features the singles "Swinging Swords," "Camouflage Ninjas" b/w "Wake Up," and "Wu-Renegades" b/w "Clash of the Titans."
