CoC : Burnt by the Sun - Burnt by the Sun : Review

Burnt by the Sun - _Burnt by the Sun_
(Relapse, 2001)
by: Aaron McKay (8 out of 10)

This kinda shit really blows my hair back. Four tracks seemingly have been pulled behind a tractor trailer through downtown Detroit, as this band smacks down an EP of interminable hardcore/metal. Not too far removed from a Human Remains / Dillinger Escape Plan / Discordance Axis blend, Burnt by the Sun is intriguing and forcefully energetic. "Buffy", "You Will Move", "Lizard-Skin Barbie" and "The Fish Under the Sea Dance" will get you revved-up like a 454 big block for a live show by the band. The rumor mill is churning out that BbtS is confirmed at the Metal Meltdown, New England Metal & Hardcore Fest, and, of course, the Milwaukee MetalFest. That last one I can hardly wait for, 'cause live is where I think Burnt by the Sun will heat things up!
