Melodic Death Metal as Melodic Death Metal can be!
These are the words that describe Across The Burning Sky best. It is not their intention to invent new music. They do not want to open up new horizons. They are not interested in being Everybody’s Darling. All they do, and all they want to do, is play the music they love. Music as a tribute to the Melodic Death Metal that conquered the world in the Nineties, emerging from Gothenburg. It’s the music that accompanied them for half of their lifetime.
With „The End Is Near“ they provide an album where you will find melodies, melodies, melodies and Death Metal. Fast. Slow. But always Metal. Always honest.
On this album the band has captured the feeling of the beginning of this genre. A rough and intense production - without being overproduced - meets the rockin' charm of a live recording. Without claiming to be flawless, but always kicking asses!
Across The Burning Sky have been in the business for around 20 years, being active in several bands and projects. Maybe you know them. Maybe not. They do not care about names, because it’s not about the people, it’s about the music! It’s about metal. What’s in a name?
If you are into that kind of music, you will love it. Haters gonna hate. As a fan of the early tunes from bands like Cardinal Sin, Unanimated, Eternal Lies or Night in Gales, but also stuff like the more black metal related Lord Belial - you should give it a try!
