Biography

Composed of lead vocalist Brian "Yap" Barry, guitarist Massimo Fiocco, bassist Glenn Diani, and drummer Eddie Stratton, One Minute Silence is one of the very few rap-metal outfits to come out of Great Britain. Most recent release is a new collaboration with Theftuous, entitled Entity. Barry and Ignatiou (OMS' first guitarist) originally formed the band in London as Near Death Experience, with Barry as the drummer; when the lineup solidified and record company interest grew, the band changed their name to One Minute Silence to differentiate themselves from an American and a French band who shared their previous moniker. The band's debut album, Available in All Colors, was released by Big Cat in 1998; the follow-up, Buy Now...Saved Later, appeared in early 2000 on the V2 label. Renowned for their ferocious live shows, OMS won the KERRANG! award for Best British Live Act. World tours included Tattoo the Earth festival, Vans Warped Tour, Download Festival amongst others. After OMS split, Yap began side project, Pink Punk, with producer John Hendicott. Massy went on to work on M.U.T.O. and producing his self titled acoustic music MASSIMO FIOCCO.
