Burst
For many, Burst was an unknown name when
Origo,
er, burst onto the scene in 2005.
In reality this Swedish band has been around for awhile,
with several lesser-known releases recorded before
their Relapse debut
Prey On Life in 2003.
Origo might loosely be described as a cross between
Mastodon
and
Isis,
with the general pace more like the former and the dynamics
and moods often borrowing from the latter.
Save a few clean moments, the vocals are clearly
hardcore-influenced, which at times fit perfectly though
at other times they seem a bit heavyhanded for the music
beneath.
Vocal quibbles aside,
Origo is a surprisingly dynamic
album, complex yet focused, diverse yet
cohesive, very much deserving of the critical
praise it has received since its release.
The 2008 followup,
Lazarus Bird, was even more adventurous,
firmly establishing the band as a leader rather than a follower.
After over a decade in the business, Burst announced their
plans to retire in July 2009, and played their farewell
show on December 18.
