Review by Morpheus Kitami for Vio-Lence - Oppressing the Masses (1990)

"Yeah, draw people being grabbed by giant arms going off to the left. Nude, but make sure you can't see their penises, we don't want to be obscene or anything."

Oppressing the Masses is one of those albums where the vocalist talks about politically charged subjects with the dignity and class I expect from a teenager who is butthurt about his parents. (Because they didn't get him a Playstation, or in 1990 terms, they didn't get him an Amiga) Talking is the right word because this guy barely sounds like he's singing. He's got a nice rythmn to him, at least.

The backing band are not interesting to compensate. I dare say that they intended to be bland to compliment the vocals. They do have a few things going for them, like a proto-groove metal sound, but ultimately this just sounds like something you've heard done much better by other people long before.
