This Burning Age

This Burning Age’s music is violently beautiful, bridging the “Electro-Rock” divide with startling finesse.

In an industry that's become a little stale and predictable, it's our aim to not only create music that we'd want to hear but that pushes boundaries. We want to make music that inspires - both intellectually as well as in that all important, almost inexplicable, visceral, kick-in-the-guts way that you feel when you hear something you immediately connect to.

Genre-wise the band can be a little difficult to pigeon-hole - the result of drawing on elements from a wide variety of influences: New Wave , Punk, Post-Punk, Industrial, Neue Deutsche Härte, Synth-pop, Post-Rock, Goth, Drum and Bass, Trip-hop and a fair few others in-between. Our goal: to hopefully make something fresh yet familiar.

Working with the band is a real labour of love. From writing material, to recording our own stems and samples, producing all band artwork and running our own label, we push ourselves hard and want to keep pushing, taking our message and our music as far as physically possible.
