Silence is Treason - Skratch Magazine December '06

SILENCE IS TREASON
SELF-TITLED
NINE 12 RECORDS
Not since the Vietnam War has there been such an uprising of musicians who have used their music to make political and social statements. Chances are most of you have yet to hear the music of Silence Is Treason. On their self-titled release, they bring us lyrics strong in meaning and don't hold back. The music is along the lines of a System of a Down sound, but a bit more progressive. Musically it's very intricate... I was impressed with the content of the lyrics. "A New American Century" is a song that exposes the dirty truths behind the controversial neo-conservative group The Project for a New American Century. Overall, this is an impressive yet sobering album. -Matt Edmund
