From Oi Of America Blog
I have not been this anxious and nervous for what a record
was going to hold since..... Fuck, I don't even remember. well over 25 years
ago Komintern Sect was one of the bands that introduced me to French Oi! / Punk
and even more then that, they opened me up to a world of bands and sounds. Even
though I did not understand a fucking word they said It was the bands energy
and attitude that translated their songs in to my heart and soul. I also have
to say their early records turned me on to the raw lo-fi sound that a lot of
foreign bands and some note worthy bands from the good ol' U.S.A. would be
influenced by.
So the question that loomed over me is what was this record
that I wanted so bad was going to sound like? I was nervous because it has been
30 years since their last record? Fucking killer is the answer to that
question! A few things stuck out to me the first time I listen to this record.
First: The production quality is far superior to the bands other records and
this will spread their sound to those who need a cleaner production quality.
This cranked up production does not take away from the bands power or their def
use of melody, it just enhances it.
Second: You hear Louis from Lions Law guitar style and I
love how it works with the rhythm section and Carl's still power packed vocals.
Third: And maybe the most pleasant surprise, is this record
does not miss a step in the quality of the song writing or in the delivery of
these songs. The bands classic sound is fully intact. Take the use of haunting
choruses and melodic guitar solo's that ache and bend in to your soul are on
the amazing "Unite".
I do not care if you hate foreign language Oi! you need to
listen to this record if not for any other reason then to hear were so many
bands of yesterday and today were influenced. The album has five new, original
songs and finishes with a cover "Pour La Gloire" originally done by
Camera Silens. Benoit from Camera Silens plays guitar on this song. Komintern
Sect pays homage to another French band with this standout cover. There is not
a single miss step on this record. All Killer and no filler comes to mind when
I think about how to describe this album. I keep listening to this record over
and over and all I am left with is wanting more.
