Burn – Cleanse – Review

Burn

Cleanse (Equal Vision)
by Tim Den

This is the logical extension of Orange 9mm’s brilliant Driver Not Included; a peek into what could’ve been a solid follow-up. Instead, it’s Burn‘s first reunion recording, something that would’ve never happened had O9 never made Tragic. Staccato, off-time, awkwardly melodic, shapeshifting, weighty… the original and new members of Burn have created a refreshing work out of their collective experiences (Die 116, Pry, Glassjaw, Inside Out, 108, Quicksand, Seaweed). This is no nostalgic reunion: Burn is more relevant than ever. Witness the rebirth.
