Sad Iron / Burning - "Back To Back"

In the third week of January the album "Back To Back" by the Dutch metalbands Burning and Sad Iron will be released. "Back To Back" is a so called "split album", on which the bands each present four brand new songs. Over the past years Burning and Sad Iron played together multiple times and developed a special friendship, which gave rise of the idea of this album.

This album is more than just a collaboration; it's a dialogue between different eras and styles within the metal genre. It celebrates the legacy of Sad Iron's long standing contribution to metal and Burning's fresh and contemporary take on the genre. The album promises to deliver not only a series of compelling tracks but also an emmersive experience that reflects the passion and skills of both bands.
