5 out of 5 stars Metalcore With A Progressive Feel.......2006-08-17

Relapse is one of my favorite records label, mostly because there's a label that cares more about music than fads. Some of the most original bands are on that record label: Cephalic Carnage, Soilent Green, Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, Burnt By The Sun, Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, Nile (they're alumni now), and, of course, Burst.

What I like about Burst is that they play a style of music that blends together hardcore and prog. It's like metalcore, but it really isn't. It's like prog, but not quite that. It's in between. They're basically a band who has influence from acts like Converge, Knut, Discordance Axis, Botch, Neurosis, and so forth, while retaining a fresh sound at the same time.

A recommended buy.

BURST - Prey on Life
-
The Swedish band `Burst' have been making some big waves since this album was released on Relapse Records in 2003... They have an entirely fresh approach to Metal... Atmospherically sounding at times like a sped up Neurosis combined with true `groove' oriented hardcore influences (Burnt by the Sun or maybe Nora) and hints at progressive Metal (Opeth influence maybe? They are their current tour-mates as of Jan-Feb 06)
Truth is `Burst' have more then enough influences to set them selves apart from anyone in either the European or American Metal scenes.... Yet they seem to perfectly balance the best of European Metal and Prog with American-Hardcore.

Prey on Life opens with the progressively spell binding' Undoing (Prey on Life)' as an introduction. After this follows two of their thrashier, guitar driven tracks... `Iris' and `Sculpt the Lives'. Fourth is the 5:00 min plus `Rain', an amazing song which shows just how good of song writers they truly are.(The middle of the song at 2:45 trance inducing!!!) The fifth song `The Foe Sublime' starts with incredible guitar assault and bleeds into another powerful and heavy track. `Forth Sun' is a beautiful instrumental track that is par with the works of Pelican or Red Sparowes... Track seven was actually my introduction to the band. (Thanks to a Relapse Sampler) `Crystal Asunder' is a true testament to Burst potential... combining atmospheric into with a hardcore punk drive and even some cleaner* vocals. (NOTE: On Bursts latest album `ORIGO' they have really expanded his singing range and it sounds incredible) `Vortex' has a furious introduction which keeps it aggression throughout the songs entirety... It even throws in an almost `metalcore' sounding bridge that is fantastic. Speaking of aggression number nine is `Monument' a speedy little track with
Track ten is `Visionary' an absolutely incredible track... starts similar to `fourth sun' but quickly opens up with some of the best hardcore screams I've heard since the days of Tim Williams. (Vision of Disorder) This track shuffles between the extremes of textured ambient music and pure melodic hardcore... And last, but certainly not least, is `Epidemic' an odd, yet fitting closer... an instrumental with an almost NIN-Esc keys and odd back ground ambience.

Overall everything on this album is amazing... Beautiful Guitars that also pack a serious punch and tons of melody... A Bass player that can, not only be heard but one that does some great bass lines... And a Drummer that blends hardcore and tribal beats in a very unique manner.
Sadly, Burst will likely never gain the attention they deserve... But if you like any forms of heavy music. (Hardcore, Metal, Post-Metal, Thrash, Punk etc...) You owe it to yourself and to one of the most unique bands too check this out. (Make sure you also check out their newest album `ORIGO' which is released this month - FEB 06)

Favorite Tracks: Crystal Asunder, Rain, Vortex and Iris (Really basically all the tracks)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2005-08-24

Best album of 2003 hands down. Metalcore brilliance.

Oh yeah, to that last guy...the tornfetus siad "Relapse debut" not just debut...read before you criticize.

5 out of 5 stars this is'nt their debut buddy,?.......2005-06-04

this cd is awesome,but one thing to torn fetus,this is'nt their debut,it's like their third cd.go to their website(www.burst.nu)and look at their discography.what I suggest,if you already have this cd,get(Conquest:Writhe//In Coveting Ways).it's on this site for 37$'s because it is an import,but I highly recommend you get it,it's worth it.I actually bought it for 30$ from a guy who owns a record store,his company was cheap.yeah,this band is still in it's youth,and getting better.I suggest you get this cd and check them out.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad, not bad at all.......2005-02-08

I guess to me it's highly debatable just how "killer" Relapse records is, but there's no arguing that this is a very good album.

Burst is to grindcore what melodic death is to death metal. If such a genre existed, I would call this melodic grindcore. Very riff based with touches of alternative melody added to the mix. Influences range from Carcass to Tool. The music is versatile, going from crushing heavy passages to darkly melodic passages and even to acoustics occasionaly. If I had to pick a weak point it would be the vocalist. He gets the job done but doesen't utilize much beyond hardcore scream and emo scream. Other than that complaint, this is a very solid album.
