Rock without age, metal without spikes, progression without beards, melodic without complacency; tastefully experimental, abrasive, atmospheric, harmonious, offering blunt force, warm soundscapes and somber moods.

Descriptions and metaphors are abundant in Burst’s accessible musical language.

Burst thrive on an undying, unyielding, and uncompromising love of music. Their purpose is to channel this fixation into the make-up of the band, by any needful paths, wherever they might lead. Unobservant of fads and trends, Burst write music for their own satisfaction, and so always delve deeply into their collective pool of influences, indulging in their respective nuanced idiosyncrasies in order to retrieve something honest and passionately heartfelt—intensely sincere, often with a twinkle in the eye.

Burst first embarked on this adventurous journey back in the mid-nineties, tentatively searching the vast playground of extreme punk, heavy metal, and hardcore, feelers a-quiver and tentacles extended, before finding their feet both as far as music and personnel goes by 1998, when Burst crystallized into its current form. At last the varying influences that fuelled the five members seemed to gel, and suddenly there was magic flowing from the instruments.

Patrik Hultin brings to the table all of the violence and power associated with his punk and thrash metal inclinations, while guitarists Robert Reinholdz and Jonas Rydberg, approaching from a more jazzy, melodic, and sometimes psychedelic direction lend the music a both unnerving and beautiful quality.

I just blew out a speaker. At least it was while I was listening to The Foe Sublime. This band is too good for my tech.

Trolling is basically synonymous with joking in most cases.

Or he could be just, you know, joking. The term "trolling" is so overused nowadays, it's seriously getting annoying.

"'Rock without age, metal without spikes, progression without beards, ...' In other words they spent half the time thinking about fashion rather than music. Great bio." It is just a clever way of saying how unique the band is. It is more logical to say they are less concerned with fashion since they don't have any of those aspects to divert them from normal attire or look. And to the person below me, that is just ignorant and you may be trolling, but I am unsure.

Who would, in their right mind, make such a bio? Rock IS best with age, metal IS best with spikes and progression IS best with beards. But I stil own couple albums by these guys from yesteryears...

Lazarus Bird was such a great album. Would have loved to see what they came up with next.

BURST was also a Finnish speed/thrash metal band in the late 80's.

i am not saying they are bad, and i have only listened to lazarus bird because i'm under the impression that their earlier albums are more loud and "hardcore" than progressive. to me, this band is like a version of the ocean who couldn't take the criticism of changing their musical approach, which i feel is really, really unfortunate. lazarus bird is a cool ass album, i like all the songs, but it's just when i'm down for some wankery, they won't even let me do it..... ):

They aren't too progressive at all, Burst appeals to almost everyone. Being too progressive would be wanker bands that try to hard and write shitty music still. "Burst - Lazarus Bird [2008]" is my favorite record from there discography. Every song works well and kicks some major ass. Burst and Memfis deserved more publicity. Lazarus Bird and it's almost perfect blend of modern metal styles make it overlooked as fuck.
