Metal Blade Records announces the signing of Montreal’s Barn Burner!
From the metal loving city of Montreal comes one of the most killer riff machines this side of the 3 headed love child of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Fu Manchu. Barn Burner have been cruising around Canada over the past few years spreading their love of the riff, good times and are ready to spread their beard encrusted rock to the rest of the world.
“It’s a total honor to be working with such a ruling label; it is one of those crucial goals that you strive for as a band. May our filthy beards and hair grow long together over the years and continue to put out crushing albums!” - Kevin Keegan, Barn Burner
Metal Blade Records will be giving their debut album, Bangers, its official world wide release in 2010. The album has already received tons of praise from press from Canada to the UK from the album’s original release via New Romance for Kids Records.
“Up tempo stoner rock like a cross between The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu and The Fucking Champs…excellent musicianship.” Terrorizer Magazine
“If Steve Harris [yes, Iron Maiden's own] moved to Montreal and started eating poutine and joined Corrosion of Conformity I’d imagine it would sound a lot like this. It hasn’t left my constant rotation for weeks, and I presume it is there to stay.” AbsoluteUnderground.ca
“Montreal’s Barn Burner is one of the most impressive Sabbath-inspired bands we’ve heard in a long time. The band’s newest offering, Bangers (New Romance for Kids), is pure stoney mayhem. Comprised of heavy, minimal riffs, driving drums and major solos, this album will satiate any metal head’s yearning for primal rock.” ChronicYouth.com
Their debut record, Bangers, will be given its worldwide debut in early 2010. Keep your eyes peeled for tour dates to follow!
Barn Burner is:
Kevin Keegan - Guitar/Vocals
Marc Doucette - Guitar
Nick Ball - Bass
Taylor Freund - Drums
