Heavy metalists BURNING THROUGH DARKNESS have not one but six single's released under their belts, with a debut EP set for the fall! A member of the band discussed with us their music creativity, plans for a tour, shows, and just expansion of themselves and their music.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or did it come out just like that?
Jordan has a vivid imagination and interpreted a scene from a movie as the character burned a torch to find his way through a cave. With further thought on it, we interpret the name to be an analogy for allowing the flame inside you to help get you through a dark time.
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
Playing metal is fun! Technical riffs, driving drums, and intricate structures provide a challenging and satisfying creative outlet.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
No.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Denver, Colorado - There is a diverse sound in the metal scene in Colorado. There are a lot of creative minds in Denver. Hated, Leveler, Surrender the Ectype, Purge the Heretic, Fateseeker, Poolside at the Flamingo.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
Inspiration comes from everywhere. Creatives find inspiration all over, life is inspiring and sometimes it's not. This births different types of music - for us and anyone else.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
Lyrically the songs are inspired by things that hurt us, things that heal us, things that we're afraid of, things that drive us.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
We write our own songs. It either starts with Seth or Bryan demoing songs and then that is presented to the band. After the initial review, structural changes are proposed. After the main basis of the song is demoed, vocals and additional electronic elements are added to the instrumental. Further details are ironed out once we begin rehearsing the songs.
8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have released 6 singles, including HEART//LESS, Mariana, Fission, Plagues, Desperation, and Separation (ft. Lisa Haley of Blood of Lilith). We plan to release our debut EP fall 2025.
9. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes, we are constantly writing and recording. There is always new music in the works.
10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We generally have multiple live shows scheduled. Possible tour is being discussed for 2026.
11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Tearing shit up! Expanding our sphere of influence. We will keep writing and recording. We will push out and promote the new EP and begin production on the next one.
12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
Come out to a show! Swing by our booth and say hi! We are also streaming on all major music platforms. Thank you, Johnny - Burning Through Darkness
