Do you happen to know a band
called Burn Everything? If not, I believe it’s about time to discover them.
Cause their two previous releases might have prepared the ground and warned us
about what’s coming but their new release leaves no room for doubt. It is
extremely positive when you see a band evolve and improve things whilst keeping
all the good elements that has previously created. The 4-track 7" titled
Hollow Victory that has just came out it’s simply the natural continuation of
last year's EP and the beginning of a sound avalanche that has started to
grow
dangerously and nothing seems to be able to stop it.
So complicated music and style
yet so simple. Burn Everything don’t step on their technical abilities in order
to create a sound effect without order and structure. They don’t overwhelm with
complex riffing and numerous changes. Cause through the complexity and the “out
of tune” tempos, diffuses directness and simplicity. The distance that you have
to cover is full of twists and turns but you‘ll have a pleasant trip and you
will never lose your way. Everything is placed in the right spot, energy and
passion is present at every second and when necessary they bombard you with
death-ish tunes that shake your head miles away.
Okay, I can’t neglect the fact
that the “math” sign, as also the huge similarity with Burnt By The Sun, is
stuck on them but their music is enriched with all the elements needed to make
a difference and to make this band special. Most important is that apart from
the excellent bonding between guitar riffs, tempos and changes, each moment has
a story to tell and has a reason to be there, at any point of this release.
Thumbs up also for the improved production and sound compared always to their
previous releases. The sound has the clarity needed to reflect the complex
riffing and the heaviness and volume required to make Hollow Victory a bomb
ready to explode at any time.
Burn Everything no longer bear
the title “promising band”. They are far beyond that. Listening to Hollow
Victory you will acknowledge that this band has a great potential. My only concern
is whether they‘ll manage to break free from their influences (mainly Burnt By
The Sun and Human Remains) and make their sound and music even more unique.
Four tracks were perfect as a starter. I look forward for the main course!
