THE REVIEW

ARGGHHHH!!!! Magnus's screams will not leave my head! I need to run away from him, but I can't.

The synths start with a disco rhythm, and at once, the oppressive, hammering guitars kick in, only to accompany Magnus's desperate screams. A brief break with a drum machine passage and then it starts again. My head is exploding, rage is filling my body, but I can't stop. I must continue; the rhythm is overwhelming, it's violence. It's only the clean voice that occasionally gives us a breather, as in Divine or in Naked. The rhythm is fast, dictated by the melody of the keyboards and paced by the drum machine.

Great work from these unknown VWOA who mix the synthetic sound of the keyboards and the computer with a powerful guitar sound, all seasoned with an angry voice. Dark atmospheres accompany us throughout this devastating musical experience, and it almost seems strange that it is supported by a good melodic base.

What I look for in music is a feeling, with VWOA I've found anger and frustration, strong impressions for a sweeping music. Listen to Reasons To Hate, it will captivate you! At times almost psychedelic, you'll struggle to get it out of your head.

I find it difficult to compare Violent Work of Art to more famous bands, I've never heard the musical mix proposed by this Swedish combo, definitely impactful. I hope they achieve the success they deserve and soon perform live dates outside their borders, to evaluate the live sound impact.

Not recommended for those who permit only a clean voice.
