The fusion of the experimental jazz group with Sten's rumbling drones and noise was so successful that they united as Supersilent.

The band attracted attention with their aggressive combination of improvised jazz, frirock and noise blowouts.

[3] Supersilent was formed in 1997, when the free jazz trio Veslefrekk (Arve Henriksen on trumpet, keyboardist Ståle Storløkken, and Jarle Vespestad on drums) played a concert with producer and live electronics artist Helge Sten (also known as Deathprod).

The concert encouraged them to record a three-disc, three-hour compilation of abrasive improvised material, simply titled 1-3, which was the label Rune Grammofon's first release in 1997.

Early in 2009, the group announced that their drummer Jarle Vespestad had departed to pursue other musical interests.

The bassist and multi-instrumentalist Jones has a long and eventful career as a rock musician, best known from Led Zeppelin and Them Crooked Vultures.

[8] The packaging of the group's albums, designed by Kim Hiorthøy, is of a minimalist aesthetic: entirely white, with the exception of the cover and CD or LP label, which are printed a different colour on each release.
