The band was founded in 2010 in Dundalk in the northeast of Ireland. Words That Burn are ROni
MacRuairi (vocals & guitar), Ger Murphy (bass & vocals), Jason Christy (drums) and Shane Martin (guitar). The lads got together through a mutual desire to create something different to the scene bands that flood the genre - heavy, melodic, crushing, beautiful music.
2010 - 2013 saw tours taking in many venues, meeting many different faces and causing many sore necks, heads and other limbs.
Words That Burn’s first studio release ‘Praey’ (June 2013), introduced them as one of Ireland’s most intense alt- metal bands. Renowned for their searing live shows Words That Burn consider each of the songs to be a sonically visual montage of hopes, fears, pain and redemption.
2015 - WTB signed International record, distribution and publishing deal with Wormholedeath / Aural Records / Warner Chappell Holland (BV). The band hit the rehearsal rooms in January to evolve their sound further and take it to the next level. In July, they flew to the beautiful Tuscan countryside in Italy, where they spent a month recoding their first full length offering.
Taking musical & sonic influence from bands such as Deftones, Bring me the Horizon, Slipknot, Northlane, Killswitch Engage and The Defiled they have compiled an album of hook laden tracks waiting to be unleashed to the masses. Pre-release reviews have been nothing but positive from online rock & metal magazines worldwide.
Words That Burn are currently on a nationwide promo tour from March 2016 – July 2016.
Release dates:
Physical 06/05/16 through wormhole death / aural / words that burn store
Digital 06/06/16 through itunes / google play / amazon etc.
