The Burning is a Danish metal band that hails from Jyllands capital Aarhus.

The group was founded in 2005 by Johnny Haven (Vocals) and Rasmus Vinding Normand (Guitar) Rasmus had played in Panzerchrist before and later with Johnny Haven in progressive metal band Awedge.Dissatisfied with the more melodic direction of the former band, the two decided to form a hard hitting metal band, and The Burning was born. Long time friend of Johnnys Thue Moller (bass) was recruited and Tobias Host (Drums) soon followed.Through heavy tour activity The Burning quickly became a force to reckon with in the Danish metal scene.2007 saw the release of their debut album Storm the walls (produced by Jacob Hansen)and a tour with good friends Dawn of demise was followed by a European tour with Illdisposed.

The band is currently writing material for a new album.

Press release from Myspace:

Straight up brutal metal with groovy traits. That's what Denmarks The Burning is about.

Attacking their metal with a heaviness unmatched in todays scene, The Burning successfully mixes modern trash riffs and oldschool Pantera grooves with simple but monstrous song structuring, vicious bass lines and a crushingly heavy "Back to basics" drumming showcasing just how damaging modern metal music can sound.

Loose, aggressive and very noisy, the band bark out their lyrics using low end deathgrowls and traditional metal/hardcore screams.

Contrary to a lot of their peers only one guitar is used in The Burning, forcing the bass forward in the mix having to add both vicious power and passionate melodies.

Known mostly from the fierce live performances, 2007 finally saw the release of The Burning's first full length "Storm the Walls" on Massacre Records. Raving reviews everywhere makes these 12 brutally heavy songs a (must buy) with superb production done by Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Nightrage, Mercenary and Hatesphere)

No Swedish twin guitars, no clean sung choruses, no trendy haircuts... All fire!
