LAZARUS BIRD

Swedish band Burst is back with a new studio record. Three years after the last delivery, they return with a strong opponent for the amazing debut "Origo". Instead of playing safe and recording an "Origo Pt. 2", the quintet focused on composing "Lazarus Bird," a more mature and technical album, with lots of interesting details. If the confirmation had already been made with the previous album, "Lazarus Bird" is the step forward (or indeed, two steps forward, I would say). They are more progressive, more psychedelic, more attractive. The chaos / calm duality, strength / fragility, heavier sound / melody, remains present and undoubtedly omnipresent in this new collective effort. And I really mean collective effort because the whole band is at a higher level. The voice is much more versatile; the guitars are fabulous with superb riffs / solos / melodies; the rhythm section is powerful but always with that progressive and technical side. The fusion of Hardcore, Metal, Progressive Rock and Psychedelic Rock will please fans of Opeth, Mastodon, Porcupine Tree, Anathema, Amorphis, Isis, The Mars Volta, Botch or Coalesce, among others. Very good!
