Burning

Heavy hitting instrumentals, catchy hooks and vocal harmonies - a fusion of subgenres best summarized simply as "Heavy Metal" 🤟🏼

Burning is a heavy metal band from the Northern Netherlands. Founded in 2013, the band consists of founding members Hugo Koch (vocals) and Renee Knegt (guitar), with Harm ten Hoove (guitar), Daan van de Craats (bass) and Mas Prevoo (drums) completing the line-up. Burning has shared the stage with legendary artists like Diamond Head, Uli Jon Roth, O.D. Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Vicious Rumors, Holocaust and Picture.

In 2014, the band released its debut single, Something is Lurking in the Dark. The single's music video has garnered over 400,000 views on YouTube. In 2016, the band followed up its success by releasing its debut album, Nightmares. In 2018, Burning released a concept EP, The P.I.D. Files, based on the rumoured death of Sir Paul McCartney. This EP was the first release with drummer Mas Prevoo. After several member changes since then, the band has played with its current line-up.

The band released a non-album single in October 2020, “Evil in Disguise”, and in early 2022, they released their sophomore full-length album, “Scourge of Humanity”.

In early 2024, the band released a split LP with their friends and fellow metalheads Sad Iron, named "Back to Back".
