Social awareness is one of those hard to handle/understand
topics. It’s just one of those things that is
hard to promote most of the time especially through
music. Bands like U2 and Clash have done things like
this. No one really knows how successful the group
was and still is. Not every audience goes for that
trend basically.
The group by the name Blood Red Sun has more or less
jumped on the social awareness through music trend.
The album “A Nation Of Saviors” basically
promotes that. Me being a hardcore punk/metal fan;
I can say this album isn’t really my type but
it’s not bad to mellow out to.
The album starts out with “It Gets You Nowhere”
and stays fairly constant throughout. The lyrics in
the songs don’t stray off from one another by
changing subject. Each track says something about
society and the world we live in either by mentioning
problems or lack of action taken to help prevent some
of these ordeals there of. Basically, each song has
some kind of message that gets displayed through the
music.
In the end, “A Nation Of Saviors” isn’t
all that bad. People who really like U2 would hands
down enjoy Blood Red Sun. Both bands have a lot in
common musically and lyrically. So, if you’re
really in to “social awareness” then give
“A Nation Of Saviors” a listen.
