Review

All four members of Saskatchewan's Breach of Trust are of aboriginal descent, which affords them--and the hard-rock genre--a unique perspective. That may explain why the group keeps the toxic rants in check, instead turning their anger and confusion toward questions of spirituality and identity on this debut. Songs like "Who Am I?" and "An Offering" go deeper than the usual self-absorption of most rock lyrics, while an unreserved respect for nature drives "So Civilized."

Metallic riffing, a raging vocalist, and a crack rhythm section keep all the tracks tight, loud, and dynamic, but two cuts in particular elevate Songs for Dying Nations above the competition. "Bring Me Down" has a killer chorus and "Awakening" boasts a monstrous rhythm that nails the song into the listener's consciousness. Other numbers are nearly as effective, though, especially the very Fugazi-like "Generational" and the aforementioned "An Offering." At one point on the disc, singer Marty Ballentyne roars, "Life is sacred so we ask for guidance." But, judging from Songs for Dying Nations, the spirits are already with this band. --Shawn ConnerA raw and insightful collection of songs that blast into your face and then down into the depths of your soul.
