Burner have released their ferocious new single, ‘What Will You Give? (feat. Josh Middleton of Sylosis)’, out today via Church Road Records. The track marks the third preview of the band’s forthcoming album, ‘No One Is Coming to Save Us’, due for release on 25th September.
Continuing to cement their reputation as one of the UK’s most uncompromising heavy acts, Burner fuse death metal, hardcore and flashes of black metal into a sound that’s both meticulously crafted and utterly destructive. While their music nods to the likes of Trap Them, Darkest Hour, Gatecreeper, Converge, Bolt Thrower and The Acacia Strain, the band avoids simple imitation, instead channelling those influences into something distinctly their own.
Speaking on the new single, vocalist Harry explains:
“After our 2024 tour with Sylosis, it only made sense to ask Josh to feature on this track. He brought such a raw energy to the hardest hitting point of the song, and it feels like a perfect pairing. Absolutely smashed it.”
“I wrote this as a rallying cry for democracy, calling on the memory of the anti-fascists that struggled and died for freedom in the 20th century. As we experience backsliding and more extreme leaders coming to power, I wanted to confront and warn the listener. What will YOU do when this society we take for granted collapses around us? When the signs are increasingly clear, it’s up to you and me to fight for a future that belongs to the people.
