THE REVIEW

It takes very few words to describe this album that particularly struck me, an album by a band that has skillfully used verbal weapons to break everything, with extremely venomous words against political silence, racial hatred, capitalism, discrimination, and in favor of a world with pacifism, love, but also violence when it's necessary.

One Minute Silence knows how to do it more than anyone, with their sound as aggressive as it is gentle and unsettling, proving that rebellion is not punk, they indeed deliver a granitic crossover with extremely powerful bass and deep guitars (the start of "I Wear My Skin" is a striking demonstration) and some hardcore influences while remaining faithful also to hip hop ("Revolution", "We Bounce, Fistful Of Nothing").

Great technical skills and significant themes for an amazing music, with the voice of Brian Barry known as Yap, which calling it captivating is an understatement (from him you hear the anger and frustration caused by a world of actions and few words... he believes there should be both). Indeed, the music of O.M.S. is like lifting up into the air and crashing violently to the ground, what remains afterwards? A shattered corpse, these musicians provide the perfect soundtrack for the funeral of the world.

If you hate, One Minute Silence suggests doing it with style and brains.
