My first thought upon hearing about a new First Blood release: finally. My first thought upon actually hearing the release: where the hell is John Rambo!? The Rambo gimmick from the first EP and full-length has been largely dropped in favor of a windmill kick to the face of the Establishment, but have no fear: First Blood are still delightfully over the top (like what I did with another Stallone reference there?), with bone-rattling breakdowns and unbridled rage tearing at every seam. Instead of the obligatory Gatling gun and Mr. Stallone screaming audio clips, we are treated to a wide array of conspiracy theories and social criticism rhetoric interspersed throughout the album, highlighting the philosophies of the band. Of course its overbearing, but thats always been the appeal of First Bloodeverything from the one-word song titles to the political soap-boxing will polarize listeners. It will be more than a lot of people can stomach, but it will turn some people on. Way on. Silence Is Betrayal retains the strong comparisons to Terror while playing like the more acerbic follow-up to Madballs Infiltrate the System. Theres an immediacy present that belies the four year wait time for the release, as if by their estimation the band had no choice but to speak up. The title is based on a Martin Luther King, Jr. speech, and it becomes clear during the intro, if the artwork didnt already give it away, when Mario Savios voice drifts in with the famous Bodies Upon the Gears speech, that its no longer about rescuing POWs in Vietnam, but taking on gross corruption and injustice right now. Thats not only the general theme of the record; the music itself feels like its hurtling toward chilling album closer Armageddon II, a dire warning about nuclear war. Its call-backs and gang vocals, a seamless track sequencing linking each mortar shellin other words, all flow and virtually no ebb; shrapnel in the form of Carl Schwartzs harsh vocals delivering knock-out punches while the boys flail fists to the backing beat-down violent enough to cause a cerebral hemorrhage. Silence Is Betrayal is like the nuclear war of Armageddon II: once First Blood set it off, everything within a ten mile radius is doomed. So the moral of the story is this: politicians are fucking assholes, and I respect a hardcore band in todays scene thats not afraid to reach back to the roots of their genre and be a little outspoken on top of their devastating pit anthems. So its sound and fury for a reason. But as weve seen before, First Blood doesnt necessarily need a reason to bludgeon the listener to auditory deathits just that much more potent now that they do. --Jake Oliver bLiNG! sP! iN tRUST sPACEGATS wE
