The World Will Burn is a unique worldwide collaboration between Dale Thompson and Alan Zaring. Dale, who lives in New Zealand, and Alan, who lives in the United States, have been working together remotely to create music that transcends culture, language, and genres. The World Will Burn is focused on emotion and passion instead of commercial pressure. Their soon to be released CD promises to change the way you look at hard rock music. New, fresh sounds combined with classic influences merged with thoughtful lyrics. Power merged with grace. Explosiveness married to innocence. Rage fused with compassion.
Dale Thompson has over 20 studio releases to date, and is best known as front man for the well known bandBride. His vocals are legendary and he is consistently considered one of the top singers in heavy music worldwide. Dale takes his talents to new heights with The World Will Burn.
Alan Zaring is a multi-instrumentalist who has been a part of numerous projects of all genres through the years. He has focused his efforts into the music of his passion, heavy, hook-filled, guitar driven rock. Alan plays or programs all of the instruments on the upcoming CD.
Alan Zaring (guitars) recently told us: “These songs wrote themselves. Dale and I were merely the tools. We realized early on in the process that we would be making music that is totally different than other heavy music being marketed today. It seems like so much of the metal these days sounds alike and follows a “formula” for success. We hope that these songs will be difficult to classify as “sounds like ________”. We wanted to be heavy but completely different and I think we were successful. I hope you like it!”
“What are the songs about? I think the beauty of Dale’s lyrics are fact that each person finds a personal connection to his songs and believes they are certain of its meaning. His words are sometimes vague but hit home with each listener on such a personal level that I hesitate to ruin it for anyone by telling them that the song is about something else completely. Does that make sense to you? I hope so!”
“What I can do is tell you that the entire CD is about the journey…not the destination. Going forth into the unknown and learning lessons. ”
In December of last year we did an interview with Dale. You can read it here.
