The album No Fats No Fems Uncut 1990 by Balance Of Terror is a hard-hitting and unapologetic exploration of queer identity and the struggles faced by those who do not conform to societal norms. The band's unique blend of punk, metal, and industrial music creates a powerful and intense sound that perfectly captures the raw emotion and anger present throughout the album.
From the opening track "Intro (The Closet)" to the closing song "No Fats No Fems," Balance Of Terror takes listeners on a journey through the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals who are often marginalized and discriminated against. The lyrics are brutally honest and confrontational, addressing issues such as body shaming, homophobia, and internalized self-hatred.
The musicianship on the album is exceptional, with each member of the band contributing to the overall sound and energy of the music. The guitar riffs are heavy and aggressive, the drums are thunderous, and the vocals are delivered with a ferocity that demands attention.
