Breach Of Trust - Songs For Dying Nations
Review by Dawaun Walls
Breach of Trust's album, Songs For Dying Nations, is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of songs that tackle a range of social and political issues. The band's unique blend of punk, rock, and metal creates a sound that is both intense and accessible.
From the opening track, "The Great Divide," the album sets a tone of urgency and passion. The lyrics are intelligent and insightful, addressing topics such as inequality, corruption, and environmental degradation. The music is equally strong, with driving rhythms and dynamic guitar work.
Standout tracks include "The Price We Pay," which explores the toll of consumerism and materialism on society, and "The War Inside," a searing indictment of the military-industrial complex. "The Final Solution" is a haunting ballad that speaks to the human cost of war and violence.

About Breach Of Trust
Love sees through the eyes of our grandmothers
Time passes by without consent or apology so
I will try to give back all that's been
Given, given
I am spirit name, dreams of fame
Layer of blame, possessed of thoughts that I
Cannot explain
I am clan brother, like no other
Given to smother
Desires from which I can't hope to recover
I am hopes embraced, then laid to waste
Fearing the fate of leading faith and love into disgrace
I am hidden fears, house of mirrors
Both more and less than I appear
But Who Am I?
Strength comes to those who humbly suffer
Pain burns away the ties to earthly pleasures
Why am I blessed with these gifts I've been given
I will try to become more thankful
Selfless, selfless
I am son of cain, ego vain
Culture retained
A product of the land from which I came
I am middle ground once lost now found
Spirit unbound
By expectations I cannot let down
I am spirit name, dreams of fame
Tempted to blame
But I'll accept the ownership of shame
I am confronting fears, becoming clear
Understanding is near
But Who Am I?
Who Am I?
I discovered this band when I was 21 at a Live concert @ Club Soda in Montreal in 2001. They played in first act of Finger Eleven during ''The Greyest of Blue Skies'' album tour, a band that I was a huge fan of. I wasn't aware of the existence of Breach of Trust at the time.
As soon as they started playing, I immediately loved it because they sounded & represented exactly what I was about as a musician & listener. They gave an amazing & memorable performance. It definitely is a very intense moment of my life that I will always remember.
