We have been in constant use of the WarCry name since 1990. Our Music is a contemporary expression of traditional values that comes from the sacred drum of the earths heart beat. The driving influence of our music is our native culture. We want to bring the past and present together, passing these values down from our elders to our youth. The music is mostly our perspective of the world we live in with what we have gained from our tribal communities. By living on our rez. we understand a unique balance of our past and present culture and the hope for the future. We try to express our native outlook on the state of the world by re-discovering the old ways in a new world and reaching an agreement between the old and new ways. In our efforts we hope to help others to explore ideas of change. As we all know, the progressions of modern life need to be re-evaluated. Our lyrics are commentary of this life, and things we have dealt with growing up here. We focus on getting back to our spiritual and cultural ways. The music itself a reflection of our world and a venue to reach the children of today. With prayers of making them aware of our dying cultures and traditions. It is only by reaching them that this dying culture will survive in future generations. WarCry is a Native American band that originates from the Salish-Kootenai Reservation near Flathead lake in Montana. Our goal is to encourage others to live in a better way. To follow the "Warriors Path". WarCry over the years has supported Native Hunting and Gathering Rights. We find that it is important to be able to gather the traditional plants and animals to perpetuate traditional cultures if it is done the traditional way. We have done benefit shows for tribal communities, food drives, and disadvantaged youth when we could afford to. We have played shows across the Western States. MISSOULA INDEPENDENT Feel Like Music? By ANDY SMETANKA Feel like Donning the Runic Rainment of Heavy Metal: We turn our gaze northward, far from the madding crowd of metal ironicists. North to the the Flathead Reservation, home of WarCry, those metallic shock troops of the unadulterated Real Deal. Once a month or so, WarCry pays a visit to Missoula, reaving and laying waste like a pack of bellowing Hyperboreans with songs like ..Scalphunter.. and ..Last Spell Cast... That's the deal .. if you want original metal in this town, you almost have
