│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Celebrated UK rockers BURN are back with a new ║ │
│║ album titled "Ice Age", mastered and ready for ║ │
│║ release soon. Away from the music scene for ║ │
│║ nearly 10 years since the critically and ║ │
│║ commercially well received third album Global ║ │
│║ Warning, finally another slab of classic British ║ │
│║ hard rock is on the way. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some things have changed in the BURN camp during ║ │
│║ the last decade. ║ │
│║ Singer Jeff Ogden, drummer Benji Reid, and ║ │
│║ guitarist Julian Nicholas (although he's still ║ │
│║ featured on one track on the new album) are no ║ │
│║ longer part of the line-up, but for this 2017 ║ │
│║ effort all have been replaced with a couple of ║ │
│║ outstanding new members. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ On lead vocals BURN welcome none other than ║ │
│║ Steve Newman of NEWMAN. Steve Newman has been ║ │
│║ releasing very consistent quality melodic rock ║ │
│║ albums, as well as working in other projects. ║ │
│║ However, Newman has been confirmed as permanent ║ │
│║ BURN member, the first band that he has ║ │
│║ committed himself to for many years. And he was ║ │
│║ truly involved in the creation of this album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The other new guy in the band is the ║ │
│║ ridiculously talented Chris Green who brings his ║ │
│║ incendiary lead guitar skills to BURN. Chris ║ │
│║ Green is the current lead guitarist of TYKETTO ║ │
│║ and hard rock fans will remember him from ║ │
│║ FURYON, RRUBICON CROSS and cult UK melodic ║ │
│║ rockers PRIDE, along with various other ║ │
│║ projects. ║ │
│║ His sense of melody and feel combined with ║ │
│║ tremendous technique have produced some awe- ║ │
│║ inspiring solos on this album, and the man is ║ │
│║ one of the selling points, believe me. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ BURN's history started in the heyday of melodic ║ │
│║ rock in the '80s and from that foundation, ║ │
│║ through "Global Warning" and now "Ice Age", the ║ │
│║ band has developed into a modern hard rock act. ║ │
│║ With a multitude of influences and an open- ║ │
│║ minded view on songwriting, this is quite varied ║ │
│║ album, while still retaining the core elements ║ │
│║ of power and melody. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Produced by BURN founder member Barney ║ │
│║ Stackhouse (keyboards and songwriter), and mixed ║ │
│║ by the Grammy award winning Tobias Lindell ║ │
│║ (Europe, H.E.A.T.) "Ice Age" sounds fantastic. ║ │
│║ With Lindell putting everything into place, ║ │
│║ there's guarantee of a pristine output, with a ║ │
│║ modern, updated kick for this BURN 2017. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the band's two fist albums were melodic ║ │
│║ rock oriented, the third was pure hard rock. ║ │
│║ Well, "Ice Age" and this BURN 2017 is a healthy ║ │
│║ mix of both. ║ │
│║ There's muscular numbers in 'Irontown' a song ║ │
│║ with a House Of Lords current feel (and a great ║ │
│║ chorus), 'Twenty Twenty' (like a ballsier TEN), ║ │
│║ the groovy 'Sink Together', and the darker ║ │
│║ 'Punishment Of Lust'. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But you can't deny Newman's touch on many songs, ║ │
│║ and the Melodic Rock appear. ║ │
│║ Just check rhythmically rich 'Hate', the classy ║ │
│║ verses of 'Jelousy', and the pretty awesome ║ │
│║ piano ballad 'Wasteland'. ║ │
│║ As said, this is a varied album, and BURN ║ │
│║ deliver a stupendous acoustically driven tune in ║ │
│║ 'The Girl Who Wanted Everything, a song with ║ │
│║ some synth orchestrations as well and very good ║ │
│║ harmony vocals. This song bring to mind THUNDER. ║ │
│║ Then 'Live Again' adds some elecronics as ║ │
│║ happens on recent NEWMAN solo records, but don't ║ │
│║ be fooled, this is a meaty melodic hard rocker ║ │
│║ with a strong chorus. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For the end, title track 'Ice Age' is one of the ║ │
│║ highlights. The pumping bass lines and sharp ║ │
│║ rhythm guitars drive the verses greatly ║ │
│║ performed by Newman, and the chorus soar. In the ║ │
│║ middle, there's some heavier parts, great keys, ║ │
│║ swirling licks, all crowned by a monster guitar ║ │
│║ solo, before the song ends in full force with a ║ │
│║ synth coda. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Despite its member changes, BURN has no lost an ║ │
│║ appice of their power and quality arrangements / ║ │
│║ songwriting. On the contrary, with the addition ║ │
│║ of Steve Newman & Chris Green the band gained ║ │
│║ melody and punch on equal parts, and you can ║ │
│║ hear that all over "Ice Age". ║ │
│║ This is true British Melodic Hard Rock inspired ║ │
│║ by the classic '80s style with a modern, ║ │
│║ updated, and at places, tremendous production ║ │
│║ sound.s ║ │
