System Of Slaves Returns With The Second Album “Live Not By Lies… At One Time We Dared Not Even Whisper”

The second full-length release from the Welsh quartet, and it’s a continuation of the band’s Nausea-esque feisty, metallic, D-beat punk. Short, sharp bursts of musical anger matched by caustic lyrics addressing sexism and the destructive, strangling nature of corporatism/capitalism. Some sterling bass lines (especially on the haunting ‘Sex Robot’ and album closer ‘Discard’) back up Payney’s Heavy (not metal) guitar riffs and Chris Smith’s tribal beats dripping with elements of 80s Thrash Metal – all brought to life by a decent chunky production courtesy of Stuart Mackaye and Jason Livermore.
