Burner is a band from
Florida, USA, that was formed in September of 1999 by the Divine Empire
guitarist John Paul Soars and drummer Greg Threlkel. Today the band also
features the ex-Monstrosity guitarist Jason Morgan. When I have mentioned
these people and the Florida metal scene you probably expect brutal death
metal but this is definitely not what Burner is about. Their debut "One For
The Road" is instead a brew made up of different elements from many genres
such as death metal, jazz / fusion and blues but above all the southern state
heavy rock scene. This is the origin of the modern stoner rock sound which has
become real successful both in the US and in Sweden. Burner is a band to
remember for all you lovers of real heavy rock with a bluesy groove. The
band's vocalist Cliff Denny has a voice that fits very well together with
this kind of music and sometimes he actually sounds a little like latter day
James Hetfield. The thing that separates Burner form most of the competition
is that they also take use of some death metal growling which isn't really
what I would call a brave move but still a little unusual. Keeping their
southern roots and a thundering heavy sound Burner have managed to compose a
modern sounding album without coming close to the nu-metal sound which is a
good thing. Half-way through the album dies a little however since many of the
songs sound very similar to one another. If you are into heavy southern rock,
stoner rock or just want inspiration on the road check out
Burner.
