Bury the Sun

Bio:

Bury the Sun is a band that has risen from ashes of former projects How to Bleed and December Ash. Formed by guitarist/ vocalist Mike Trepanier and drummer Tim Simmons in early 2007, the project became a full functioning band in November 2008 with the addition of Jeremy Malecki on bass. In late April of ’09, BTS added a second guitarist, Norm Radtke to the line-up, and thus became entrenched in the Duluth/ Superior underground scene up to this point.
The music that can be found on the “Sustenance” demo is the product of a 4 piece finding it’s creative voice. Sometimes upon hearing the tracks, you can almost hear the band beginning to separate themselves from their influences to create something unique, raw, sometimes brash, and always original. These songs heard on the demo are by no means a representation of a band at it’s peak; they are the tip of the iceberg, merely hinting of the group’s creative potential. Always evolving and never satisfied with a singular direction, BTS identifies themselves as a band who writes music to satisfy no one else but themselves, and often writhes at the idea of conforming to a trend, image, or contemporary genre. This attitude is both the strength of the band, and the detriment.
Since helping with the recording of the “Sustenance” demo, Norm Radtke has left the line-up to pursue other musical interests. After becoming a 3 piece, BTS became even more focused and no more than 4 months of finishing the mastering process of “Sustenance”, the band has written another album’s worth of material, yet to be recorded. The new material yields the same creative approach, yet finds itself leaning in a more stripped down, post-hardcore direction, all the while staying true to the BTS sound.
Nonetheless, the songs recorded on the CD are well representations of the band, and something each band member can look back on and remain proud of, and is further proof that Bury the Sun is a band that needs to be heard.
