Burden are a band from Connecticut that plays a melodic mixture of black and folk metal and this is a review of their 2023 ep "MMXXII" which will be released in February by Fiadh Productions.
A very fast sound starts off the ep along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Synths can also b e heard at times while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody as well a s the vocals being mostly high pitched black metal screams and elements of folk music are also added into the heavier sections of the songs.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Clear pagan vocals are also added into certain sections of the recording along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style.
Burden plays a musical style that takes melodic black and mixes it with folk metal to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in Ukrainian and cover funerals, nature and winter themes.
In my opinion Burden are a very great sounding melodic mixture of black and folk metal and if you are a f an of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Regino de la Nokto". 8 out of 10.
