The Brethren of the Long House by Riot - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Perhaps influenced by Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" and "Run to the Hills," or possibly Anthrax's "Indians," Riot's Brethren of the Long House goes a step further and dramatizes the thoughts of Native Americans as well as the soldiers who questioned the senseless battles as they fought. The music is run-of-the-mill late-'80s metal accompanied by some trite lyrics ("It doesn't matter if you're wrong or right/Makes no difference if you're black or white") along with the mandatory preachy ones ("No color or religion ever stopped a bullet from a gun"). A noble and respectable effort, although the band sounds a little distant for such intense and dramatic subject matter. [A 13-track version was also released.] ~ Gina Boldman
