Biography

No-Big-Silence started out as Aggressor in 1989. Oringinally the band played Kreator-influenced death metal but changed their name to No-Big-Silence in 1995. Along with the name switch, the band turned to industrial metal.

The band was first introduced to a wider audience in the summer of 1995 at the Rock Summer festival, Estonia, where they headlined the B-stage. The crowd gave the band a spectacular welcome and from then on No-Big-Silence has successfully performed at larger festivals and smaller clubs in Estonia, the Baltic States, Russia and Scandinavia. No-Big-Silence is valued as a live-act with an impressive show, esteemed by world class rock bands such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rammstein, HIM, Motörhead, Waltari etc.

The band's debut album "99" was released in the spring of 1996. The next release "Succsessful, Bitch and Beautiful" (2000) brought about such hits as "On The Hunt" and "Vamp-O-Drama". In 2001, the album is sold in Scandinavia, England, Germany, Italy and other European countries through the Finnish label Cyberware Production. The homepage of Cyberware states that the album of No-Big-Silence is a magnificent masterpiece and regards it as one of the label's strongest releases today. According to Cyberware the bonus video "Star DeLuxe" on the western version of the album gives a good overview of the band's glamorous live-show and enthusiastic fan base. The Scandinavian music magazine Prospective Magazine thinks that "Successful, Bitch and Beautiful" is a ?must listen'. The review in the same magazine gives No-Big-Silence 8 out of 10 points. Johan Carlsson, a reviewer for the Swedish Release Magazine distinguishes the even and uniform quality of the album. "Metal riffs melded with electronic sounds on top of rock song structures make an interesting mixture, and the vocals fit perfectly." Positively surprised, he continues to say: "It is nice to see an Estonian band, but don't buy it because of that. Buy it because it is good."

In 2003, the band released in cooperation with the rock-group Kosmikud ?Kuidas kuningas kuu peale kippus" - a rather humorous interpretation of a children's play. The album also featured the punk-legend Peeter Volkonski and the actor Hele Kõre.

No-Big-Silence broke new ground in 2006 with the release of their fourth studio album ?War in Wonderland", which critics perceived as their best album to date. With it, the band abandoned their do-it-yourself method and approached Tom Baker of Precision Mastering to give the album a final touch. Since then the band has enjoyed continuous support from it's steadily growing fan-base. As a testimony to their increased popularity, fans of the band eventually spawned the official No-Big-Silence fan-club in 2006, known as ?The Silencers"
