The Burden of Existence

Bio:

Atlanta, Georgia’s six-piece Burden of Existence has just completed work on their full-length debut album. Co-produced and engineered by acclaimed North Carolina producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, He Is Legend, etc.), the album sees the band exploring an atmospheric, European-inspired melodic metal, topped by the beguiling and graceful vocals of Narissa Wolke. With flourishes of progressive metal and doom, The Burden synthesizes commercial and heavier, more experimental tendencies, resulting in an accessible and hook-heavy sound. The band features members of instrumental progressive metal outfit, Canvas Solaris (Sensory/Lasers Edge), and will look to tour in support of their debut offering. .... ..
