It's the first cut from the London metallers' second album No One is Coming to Save Us, dropping in September
London metal crew Burner have announced that they'll be releasing their second album No One is Coming to Save Us on September 25 via Church Road.
To celebrate, they've dropped the vicious Sunrise, Parabellum, which features a guest spot from none other than Trivium frontman Matt Heafy.
Discussing the song, singer Harry Not calls it "A cry of despair in our time of desperation.
"As the disastrous effects of the climate crisis unfold in front of our eyes, and world leaders fail to take action against unimaginable greed, my fear is that we’ll be left with little rational path but a destructive revolution."
As for having Matt Heafy on board, the frontman calls it "an absolute privilege.
"It’s not every day you get to hear someone you’ve admired since your teens screaming your lyrics! I couldn’t be more thankful for his involvement and interest in our band, he took everything to the next level."
Describing the album as a whole, Harry explains it's in part a search for optimism when nihilism is easier.
“If It All Returns To Nothing looked outwards to the world’s chaos throughout history, No One Is Coming To Save Us instead looks inwards at its proposed cause; humanity’s violent, animalistic nature, begging us for change. This is an album about human behaviour: that people create endless cycles of violence by repeating the mistakes of the past, forging a brutal history that we fail to learn from.
“But, at the same time, the album is about questioning whether we can ever get past those sins and repetitions. This is a record that is mournful as much as it is angry and engaged. It longs to bitterly recall the moments of greatness and sacrifice in our shared history that created the better world we currently destroy. It longs to look back at these moments for inspiration and optimism, at a time where it feels like hope is running thin.
“The album is also a struggle for hope, not just that humanity can overcome hatred and violence, but that we can look back on our greatest moments and take courage to build a better world. No One Is Coming To Save Us reflects this duality in its title: that no one will come to save us from the violence and tragedy we create as part of our humanity. But it also proposes that it’s up to us to change – to overcome a violent human nature and usher in a better tomorrow.”
