LOWBURN

"Showing the appreciation and gratidude to such bands as Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, ZZ Top, Kyuss, Acid King, Sleep, Monster Magnet and Cathedral these four guys are delivering the Rock as it's supposed to be!"

"Let's face it modern stoner can get boring because of the abundance of bands that sound too similar, this band sound rather similar too but they play with their heart, their soul and a genuine love which makes them stand out. It's bands like these which make me proud to be a fan of doom, stoner and sludge metal." - Evil_Wicked_Twisted_Mind

"What do you get when you combine a band consisting of past and present members of epic metal powerhouse Battlelore and their fondness for the likes of Kyuss? LOWBURN of course!! Straight forward crushing rhythms, crunchy desert grooves and a bellowing howl set the tone for this furious and passionate 4-song debut EP. Unlike their Tolkien-inspired Middle Earth "fantasy metal" theme from Battlelore which portrays them as furious warriors, Finland's Lowburn strips that all away and lays waste to the land while gliding along in their neck-snapping desert cruiser. Feel the power of the burn!" - http://www.heavyplanet.net

"This is how stoner rock was meant to be. These four lads have all been in rock bands before so they aren't spring chickens by any means and know exactly what the hell they are doing. If you close your eyes real tight you can imagine an outdoor concert in the middle of the valley with cheap beers, cigarettes, chicks in bikinis, and some great weed. You might just have found heaven." - http://stonerhive.blogspot.nl

"Finnish bashers Lowburn recently released a four-song EP entitled Soaring High that is hopefully a sign of bigger and uglier things to come. The band as a whole blame / credit Kyuss for influencing the Lowburn sound, and the end result is a gritty hammered-at-the-biker-bar-with-Lemmy stoner rock quartet of songs that come down on your head like a bag of hammers. The material is reminiscent of The Black League, Chrome Division, and yes, Kyuss – with a tip of the hat to Black Sabbath on ‘The Power It Holds’ – but truth be told, the EP is just too damn short if you like this kinda stuff." - http://carlbegai.com

"Another band from the northern part of this earth and as is almost always good...Lowburn create a punchy sound and have a lot of fuzzy groove parts in their song's. Very interesting song structures and really much variety make it to the listeners really amazing mood. Finest Stoner Rock in ancient tradition like Dozer, Clutch, El Caco, Atomic Thunderpussy, Fu Manchu...get your own 4 track power album of LOWBURN and come in swinging..i hope i can hear soon more of this nice band!" - http://stonerheadletgrooveyourbrainstonight.blogspot.fi

After a short hiatus from music Tomi Mykkänen and Henkka Vahvanen from Battlelore started jamming stuff together. Soon it was decided that they needed to form a band for the jams. Miika Kokkola (founding member and original bass player from Battlelore) was contacted and asked if he wants to jam with the guys. He did. They played and jammed a few times and then it was decided that second guitarist would not hurt. Miika said that he had already talked with Tommi Havo (another original Battlelore member) about the project and that he was very interested. So, enter Tommi and on the first rehearsal together the first real song was made. On the second rehearsal the second song was made and then it was realized that the band had born.

January 2013: Enter Soaring High EP. The band decided to record, mix and master a demo in their rehearsal place to see if it's possible to make an album like that. 7 songs were recorded and after the first mix it was clear that the quality is surprisingly good, so the band decided to release a strictly limited EP of four songs from the sessions. 5th song will be released as a video later. The EP showcases quite well the versatility and the musicianship of the band. It shows their sides from the pure stoner rock frenzy to the more doomier fields.

The EP is sold out already! The feedback and the buzz has been awesome-lly great and the band is very humbled about it.

Even though the collective gig amount in the band is almost 500, the first gig of LOWBURN is on January 26th. The gig will serve as the release party of the EP.

LOWBURN are currently looking for possible quarters to work with booking, album release and such. We'd be extremely interested to release a 7" from the EP or the extra songs we have ready. We are also getting ready for the album recordings as well.

This is dead serious, though lots, lots of fun!

Cheers!
