Virtual metalcore band Burn Absolute—based in both the U.S. and Bolivia—takes influence from Bring Me The Horizon and the early material of Architects. Its debut, five-song EP Catharsis dropped last week, eight months after the first recording session.

“Our goal from the beginning was to deliver a professional sound and image while preserving the raw, authentic essence that drew each of us to this genre,” the band wrote in a Facebook post.

The band’s EP release gets a little help from a plethora of Floridian metalcore veterans.

Tickets to see Burn Absolute—along with The Pine Drape, Chasing Airplanes, The Cunningham Wake, and Endurus—play Oscura in Bradenton on Friday, Aug. 18 start at $10.
