The World Will Burn just reported the following:
“Thank you all for your patience with the release of the CD “Severity”. We have been moving along but there are some things that are out of our control. We are pleased to report things are coming together nicely. We are waiting for the last few songs to be mastered by our engineer, we almost have all of our design completed for the CD cover and contents, and are awaiting some really cool merchandise. You will not be getting a CD in a sleeve.“Severity” be a full color 6 panel digipak with all the lyrics printed for you. It will contain amazing original artwork by Dale Thompson. We have really good looking shirts, stickers, posters and hats coming, all top shelf and professionally designed. Most importantly, we are offering everything at AFFORDABLE PRICES, so you can wear your rock proudly without breaking the bank. The World Will Burn really is breaking all the rules!
“We just approved the final art layout for the “The World Will Burn” CD. Within days now, “Severity” will be in production and shortly into the hands of all those that pre-ordered it. Do not wait to steal it off the Internet by illegally downloading it. We have bills too. Order it legally and avoid burning eternally in hell. Why did I say that? Well because you will repent of murder, adultery, lying, cursing, etc… but you will never repent from stealing music from hard working artist who only expect acceptance and a fair wage for their dedication and time.”
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 band Bride. 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. I will send you the lyrics of each song. Perhaps they will speak to you on a personal level. That is what we are shooting for.”
“This CD will have about 13 songs. The track list is still in the works but below is what we are expecting”
