REZN have shown us their darker side on this album. Packed full of visceral riffs and haunting melodies, Burden is a dark and brooding album that makes you feel the weight of a descent into delirium and chills you to the bone as a result.

If you want your doom bleak, then look no further than REZN.

REZN may not have re-aligned the stars with riffed-out yet atmospheric tone summoning, but they give me all the reason to still try and wait for whatever it is they do next.

I remember randomly coming across Solace from last year and being pretty impressed with the atmosphere and performances on that album. Burden while still having the same energy as Solace, I can't help but feel like this is just a lesser version of Solace. But don't get me wrong, this is still a very solid doom album and a pretty brief one at that.
A solid companion piece no doubt, but the songwriting folds a little more easily to the trappings of modern doom than its predecessor from last year.
