November 24, 2023 sees German death/thrash metal band BURDEN OF GRIEF release their much-awaited, eighth studio album, titled "Destination Dystopia", via Masssacre Records. Coming as CD, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale is available at: https://lnk.to/destinationdystopia
It's the band's first offering in more than five long years. Five years, in which so much has happened in the world that BURDEN OF GRIEF were forced to refer to it lyrically and musically. Reinforced by the two new members Dominik Hellmuth (guitars) and Manuel Lüke (drums), they now present the strongest, heaviest and most varied album in the almost 30-year band history.
Following a previously-released, first album appetizer "Fevered Dreams", now, BURDEN OF GRIEF are premiering a music video for their new single “A Daydream Of Sorrow”!
"On each of our albums we have 2-3 songs that break out of our usual musical context, mostly by being significantly slower," the band comments. "This is enormously important to keep the music as varied as possible. "A Daydream Of Sorrow" is one of those songs that is particularly catchy, not least because of the slowing down of the tempo, and also has an extended solo part. In the studio it has already turned out that this song clearly stands out from the overall material. But fans of our heavier stuff don't have to worry, most of the other songs are much faster."
On "Destination Dystopia", BURDEN OF GRIEF accomplished to focus on their years of experience, to combine their strengths and to put them into 10 riff monsters that are bursting with energy, great melodies and pure heaviness. First and foremost, you'll get the thrash and melodic death treatment, but you'll also find a plethora of elements that go way beyond what these musical drawers are all about. Expect killer grooves, classic twin-guitar solos as well as the return of the old-school Hammond organ.
Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner and his assistant Daniel Claar took care of the drum recordings, mixing and mastering of the album at the Kohlekeller Studios (Hämatom, Powerwolf, Aborted, etc.), and they made sure that "Destination Dystopia" is the tightest and heaviest album BURDEN OF GRIEF has ever released!
