Burnt by the Sun=5 stars. Period.......2004-09-08

If you're a Meshuggah-Dillinger Escape Plan-Strapping Young Lad fan looking for something that's in the same vein but a bit different, Burnt by the Sun may be the answer to your prayers. It's open to debate whether this album, their debut full-length, is their best release, as you can't go wrong with
any of them, but there's still no doubt that it's a convincing statement of this band's brilliance. Striking a balance between the full-speed sensory overload of BBTS's debut EP and the precision-metal attack of last year's masterful "The Perfect Is the Enemy of the Good," "Soundtrack" could be
viewed as a transitional album from a growing band, but it's much, much more than that. It's a stunning, creative classic in its own right, a full-length debut that immediately positioned BBTS as one of modern heavy music's leading bands.

Upon first listening to this album, what immediately comes to mind is just how utterly abrasive it is. Dispensing with any traces of melody or traditional song structure, "Soundtrack" is sonically violent enough to make ears bleed. The songs on here are pretty short, generally clocking in around the three-minute mark, but there's plenty of action packed in, as
each piece twists, writhes, and winds its way to its conclusion, with plenty of jarring tempo shifts lying in wait along the way. At times, "Soundtrack" sounds as though it could rend the very fabric of the atmosphere, and that's about the highest compliment that can be assigned to an album of its ilk. The album's frightening, oppressive mood is broken only by the closing track, the peaceful classical guitar etude "Rebecca." You might like this song, and you might not, but if you don't at least it's at the end of the
disc so you can hit the "skip" button and pretend it doesn't exist.

Leading the charge is Michael Olender, aptly described in the liner notes as the band's "vocal machine." Mike is easily one of the most skilled and innovative vocalists in all of heavy music, equipped with a throaty howl that makes him sound sort of like a deranged mental patient who's been
gargling with gravel. Even better yet, he's backed by the guitar pyrotechnics of John Adubato and Chris Rascio, an astoundingly skilled duo who mix their pounding chunks of riffage with plenty of dizzying fretboard wankery. Beneath the dense layers of guitar noise, the drumming of Dave
Witte can occasionally be buried somewhat, but a few extra listens should suffice to appreciate the added complexity that he brings to the band's sound.

So, that about sums it up. If you're looking for some crazed, offensive, scare-the-hell-out-of-everyone-you-know music, "Soundtrack" will more than fit the bill. And make sure to get BBTS's other releases as well. It seems these guys are going to be around a while.

Real Shock And Awe.......2003-10-15

I didn't like Endeavor. Let me rephrase that...I HATED Endeavor. For those unaware, Endeavor was the singer of Burnt By The Sun's first band that made a name for itself in the hardcore/metal scene in the mid 90s. Being the pessimist that I am, when I heard the singer of Endeavor was in a new band that had signed to Relapse and they had been getting comparisons to Coalesce, my natural instincts kicked in and I immediately accused them of being another one of "those bands". I shut them off altogether and went about life as normal.

At practice about five months ago, my guitarist hands me this CD sampler of Relapse and Victory Records bands. I listened to the Victory stuff first and laughed at how unimpressive these bands were. This was supposed to be both labels showing off their best metal offerings and next to Bloodlet, Victory had failed, as is to be expected. Relapse's lineup lead off with Burnt By The Sun. From opening note, I felt like I had been fired out of a cannon into a brick wall. "Dracula With Glasses" came firing at me with a vengeance and for two weeks after, I kept that horrendous sampler in the car and gave BBTS two or three spins a day until my copy of the CD had arrived.

Much in the way "Dracula" jumped down my throat, the rest of "Soundtrack" followed suit in uniformly brutal fashion. Each song made quick use breakneck tempo changes, searing vocal stylings and chainsaw-like fretboard mastery. Burnt By The Sun displays a formula that bears elements of metal, rock, grind and while none of the sub-genres are that foreign to each other, they do it without pretension or flaw. Not a single note is missed, nor a cymbal crash forgotten. Everything done here is very deliberate and forceful.

I've learned this lesson many times over: never doubt the minds at Relapse's ability to select a stable of bands that will clearly decapitate you in the most positive fashion known to man. While some bands and labels are constantly gunning for forefunning brutality as their calling card, Burnt By The Sun approach their ferocious craft with calculating brilliance and movement. You simply must hear this to believe it.
