Real Shock And Awe
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.
