Okay, until I can figure out how to stop the endless spamming James and I have gotten from the email form, it will be down! Other than that, good practice, we're still working on one, and it's getting really close to being done, it's just getting through it all the way and getting to know it. So, with that one in the bag that makes 4 tracks so far, and a handful or more that are around, we just haven't gotten to them yet. I would be willing to bet that we'll have 80 minutes of material within the next 3 months, give or take a few weeks. I do know next week we'll be rough tracking what we've gotten so far, so that we've got good mixes to listen to while moving on, and also just to work out kinks we as individuals might want/need to work out as we practice them, and to pick it apart BEFORE it's studio time. Clips of these "rough tracks" will probably be posted. I am really hoping to video tape some of these rough draft sessions as well, so look for that in the near future. Do check out our MySpace page, and drop us a line, let us know that you've visited the site. A message board is coming soon, I would say in the next month. Stay tuned for the news next week!

A new email form has been added to get in touch with the band. It is mostly for booking and other business matters such as booking, but feel free to use it. However, I do stress that sending dumb emails just for the sake of sending dumb emails will not be tolerated. Our email boxes get flooded enough as it is without "stupid people doing stupid things" and if you do it, you will be banned from this site. Can you be banned from a website? As a matter of fact you can! So, for the sake of your troubles and mine, please don't do it.

I just added a new band photo which is available for download. Along with 3 wallpapers which are all the same, just different sizes. If you want one, but are not sure which to get, it's VERY easy! Right-click on any empty space on your desktop, go down to "properties" and click, then go to the "settings" tab and click and you'll see a box that says "screen resolution" whatever those numbers are is what you'll want to download. I haven't covered all the possibilities, but those are the most common sizes. So, just right-click on the thumbnail and select "save target as" and you'll save the wallpaper version of the images!

Another great practice! Another song will soon be in the works, the framework is there, now it's just assembly. Still actively trying out vocalists, and we're hoping one will work out very soon, so we can really complete these tracks we've carefully crafted. Check back soon, we'll have something up! I do plan on putting some photos up of past shows, but only of the present existing members, just so there's something to look at.

Just letting everyone know, that very soon we'll have 5 BRAND NEW tracks, in just a little over a month that we've been working together again. So, we've been going on a very straight-forward track. We will probably start tracking some of the tunes that are done, which may or may not include a fresh recording of "Saint". So, do expect some sound bites, video, and pictures when we start tracking. Hell, might even start videotaping some of our practices, just because we can! The point is, keep checking back here, there's bound to be SOMETHING up in the next 3-4 weeks, maybe sooner!

Just filled out an application for Itunes to get our old cd up for sale, along with live videos of every song we ever played live, which is also available in DVD format which also includes footage from both studios we worked at while completing the E.P. called "Seed". I am not sure how long this takes to get the application approved or declined or whatever, but I will post the news whenever I know what is going on with it. So, if you don't have Itunes, you should get it because we could be on there very soon, even if we're not, it's a really nice tool to keep up on your music awareness!

Kudos, -d

Introduction:

It's been about two years since the band went on hiatus. Two of the founding members pushed on, looking for a drummer and vocalist, and coming up short about every time. Until, one day former B.U.B. drummer Duane gave Aaron a call, letting him know that he had finally finished the anticipated Born Under Burden DVD. While dropping off the respected DVD's Duane & Aaron chatted for a while about what was going on musically, what they wanted and how they wanted to go about doing it, and realized that the ideas and goals were pretty much the same. After the conversation and speaking on the phone between the three (Aaron, James, & Duane) had decided to give it a chance, and see what happens.

So, here we are today, currently working on material James & Aaron had written together, and material Duane had written by himself. So far we've got 3 tracks together, and a whole bunch more to get through. We will be recording as the songs get tight enough, and we'll post some clips up from time to time, maybe even some photos & video. So, check back for that in the next few months.

As of right now we are still actively looking for a vocalist. If you're interested in trying to fill the position go to: www.myspace.com/bornunderburden and learn the song "Saint" as it is a song we've decided to keep. If you can't understand the lyrics, either make up your own, or feel free to email me and I can get them to you. Keep in mind we do have things we're looking for, such as:

Experience
Determination
Strong writing ability
Controlled ego

Biography:

Born Under Burden incorporates grinding melodic sound with a mix of many musical styles and ideas. Their individual strengths have been influenced by a range of hardcore, metal, experimental, progressive and hard rock. Together they exemplify the best of each genre. All five members bring a wide range of experience to complement their innovative efforts as a new band. Formed in early 2004, each of these members left respected aggressive projects to create a combination that is a perfect fit. From their days with Circle of Illusion, guitarist Mark Thomas, guitarist Aaron Crick, and drummer Duane Walters, have paid their dues. Duane learned as a small child, how to lay down hellaciously thick beats and intemperate rhythms. Mark and Aaron have created a musical union that has spanned generations and stood the test of time. In the fifteen years of writing and playing together they have become an example of flawless musicianship. Bassist James Gates, formerly of Salem’s Childe brings a polished talent that fuses the dense drum beats and demonic vocals. James contributes with his own unique style and dramatic works. The component that completes the perplexity of Born Under Burden is the vocal machination of Andre Young. His transitions masterfully range from the darkest of gut wrenching screams to the most melodic notes in metal today. Together, these men have created an explosive chemistry that until now was inconceivable and remains to this day, untouchable. The combination of musical massacre and stage mastery is noteworthy and has become a trademark of the local scene in Indianapolis. Born Under Burden is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. The fierce aptitude possessed by this band is respected within the local, regional, and national metal scene. Their relentless desire and attitude have brought them to where they are today; right here, in front of you.
