No-Big-Silence

Silence

NBS were originaly a Death metal band called Aggressor, but in 1994 when Bass guitarst cram sung a Corrosia Metalla cover called Russian Vodka from their Of Long Duration Anguish album which resulted in the idea of changing their style.

In 1995 they went into studio (still as Aggressor) where they were suggested a name-change. So in 1996 they wrote lyrics to a song titled "No-Big-Silence 99" (a street in the USA where a massmurder was committed). So the album was titled "99" and band was renamed "No Big Silence".

Style

The music of NO-BIG-SILENCE is loaded with positive energy that has an ironical side to it. "NO- BIG-SILENCE, unlike most of the hard rock bands that get their inspiration from mysticism, concentrates on expressing the twists and turns of human psychology in the language of popmusic. It is a great achievement in itself - to sound tough and delicate at the same time," rates Marko Mägi from Eesti Express weekly.

Notable inspirations Nine Inch nails,Marilyn_Manson,Ministry, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Rammstein and others.

Success

The chariman of the concert agency BDG Peeter Rebane, the local promoter for metallica, Iron Maiden and Rammstein comments: "In our opinion No-Big-Silence is the most professional industrial band in the Baltics. Besides, they are a great live-act.

Their 2nd release Successful,Bitch and Beautifull was already the album of current hitsongs such as "On The Hunt" and "Vamp-O-Rama". In 2001 the album was sold in Scandinavia,Germany, Italy and other European countries through the Finnish label Cyberware Production. The homepage of Cyberware states that the album of NO-BIG-SILENCE is a magnificent masterpiece and regards it as one of the label's strongest releases today. According to Cyberware the bonusvideo "Star DeLuxe" on the western version of the album gives a good overview of the band's glamorous live-show and enthusiastic fanbase. The Scandinavian music magazine Prospective Magazine thinks that "Successful, Bitch and Beautiful" is a must to listen to. The review in the same magazines gives NO-BIG-SILENCE 8 out of 10 points. Johan Carlsson, a reviewer for the Swedish Release Magazine distinguishes the even and uniform quality of the album. "Metal riffs melded with electronic sounds on top of rock song structures make an interesting mixture, and the vocals fit perfectly." Positively surprised, he continues:"It is nice to see an Estonian band, but don't buy it because of that. Buy it because it is good."
