1. A punk band from Sweden.
2. An electronic music producer from Bristol, UK.
1. Noisy and furious somewhere between the tribal angst-filled sound of NEUROSIS and TORTOISE. Luleå, Sweden 1993: The local punkband Superdong split up. A lot of people couldn't care less. Now we know better. One half of Superdong quickly forms Fireside, and the other half becomes Breach.
Luleå turns out to be a perfect place to develop the ultra-raw but still melodic hardcore/ deathrock that has become the signum of Breach, and frankly they got absolutely nothing else to do then put all energy in to the band (not counting suicide or ice-hockey as serious options). Breach appear on a few compilation albums and put out their first MCD "Outlines" on Burning Heart Records.
During the spring of 1995 the full length debut "Friction" is recorded at Sunlight Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Fred Estby of Dismember is engineering and producing together with Breach. Sunlight turns Breach debut album into pure dynamite. When it is released in August 1995 it is definitely one of the heaviest albums released that year.
In January and February 1997 their 2nd full length album is recorded. It is titled "It´s Me God" and gets released on Burning Heart Records late April. It´s Me God is recorded, mixed and produced by Pelle Gunnerfeldt. The music takes a small step away from metal and follows the direction started on the EP "Old Songs & New Beats" (1996, Burning Heart Records), with a more laborious sound with a stronger Unsane / Neurosis kind of perspective on their musical existence. It ends up somewhere in the land of The Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Entombed, Neurosis and Shellac.
In May 1999, the third album Venom" was released. This time, even more minimalistic and brutal than before. Songs like "Helldrivers", "Murder", "Hell Is My Witness" and "Diablo" are perfect rock'n'roll songs in the twisted world where Breach without doubt is in control. "Venom" is like a spring-depression seen through dark thunder clouds. Kerrang! gave "Venom" 4/5 (KKKK), and wrote "Venom" is an album that lures the listener into the darkest rooms of the mind and then buggers off with the torch".
And that's a statement that not only could stand for "Venom", but as a whole for Breach as a band.
December third 2001 saw the release for Breach finest moment uptil date, "Kollapse". "Kollapse" is a perfect mix of walloping noise, scary and solemn introvert mayhem that could be the soundtrack to your favorite horror-movie, or the voices in the head for any modern western citizens angst & fear.
Soon after the release of "Kollapse", Breach announced the split-up of the band.
2. BrEaCh is the house-focused pseudonym of the Bristol, England multi-instrumentalist Ben Westbeech. He first used this alter ego as a recording name a good six years after his own name graced the landmark opening release for Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood label. Summer 2010 and 2011 each saw Breach singles issued on the RAMP Recordings imprint, Pattern. By the time summer 2012 had arrived, he had launched his own Naked Naked label on which he released "You Won't Find Love Again" and "101" before the year was over. February 2013 brought an inventive and moody collaboration with the London-based trio Dark Sky. However, it was the more commercial approach of "Jack" -- released the same year on San Francisco's Dirtybird Records -- which secured Breach a U.K. Top Ten single placing.
Murder
Breach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kill the witness
No trace of evidence
Commit the deadly sin
Oh Lord, this is grace
Hang them high
Dig real deep
A thousand candles in the dawn
Chains from beyond
What lays ahead is destined
Kill the witness
Commit the deadly sin
The lyrics of Breach's song "Murder" depict a scene of a person who has committed murder and is desperately trying to cover up their tracks. They talk about hiding the evidence, killing the witness, and making sure there is no trace left behind. Despite acknowledging their wrongdoings as a "deadly sin", the person sarcastically thanks God for his grace, indicating a sense of remorselessness and a lack of empathy.
As the lyrics continue, it becomes clear that the person is going to great lengths to avoid getting caught. They talk about hanging the body high to conceal the evidence, digging deep into the ground to bury the corpse, and sweeping up the soil to eliminate any signs of digging.
The phrase "A thousand candles in the dawn" is somewhat ambiguous, but it could be interpreted as a reference to the idea that even in the darkest of moments, there is still hope for a new beginning. The phrase "chains from beyond" is also open to interpretation, but could indicate a feeling of being trapped or haunted by past actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Murder" paint a bleak picture of someone who has committed a heinous act and is desperately trying to evade punishment. While they acknowledge their actions as sinful, they seem to show little remorse and are focused solely on avoiding detection.
