Good. Hard. Music., June 1, 2004
This is Optimum Wound Profile's follow-up to their first album, 'Lowest Common Dominator'. Not the first great industrial/hardcore band to be overlooked amongst all the commercial releases of their time. Phil Vane (from Extreme Noise Terror) and Simon Finbow blend their high/low vocals together in harmony to create a sort of 'demonic' effect. My personal favorite track on this album is 'Twisted', repetitous but addictive. Roki is a badass guitarist, and never fails to entertain. Some other tracks that may be of interest are 'Nazilover', not mainly because of the music but rather the abstract and bizarre lyrics, and it wouldn't be the end -- Much of Optimum Wound Profile's lyrics involve various subjects being warped or deviated in some way. Adding to that, there are some strange instrumental tracks to fit between spaces, such as Crotch Metal Orgasm, and Exorcise, the kind of odd filler material that always tend to make an album more intriguing. This is a recommended buy for anyone who likes good hard music. After the release of 'Silver or Lead', They would release their final album, 'Asphyxia', before breaking up.
