As They Burn

As They Burn formed in Los Angeles, though details about the members themselves are sparse. They've kept their identities largely hidden, which has contributed to the mystique around their music. Their sound blends experimental metal with philosophical themes, and they've released albums like 'Philosophical Research Society' in 2015, which shares its name with one of their songs.

But that hasn't stopped them from building a dedicated following. The band's discography includes titles like 'Abyssal Reflections' from 2009 and 'The Nature of Consciousness' from 2021, each exploring different philosophical questions through their music.

They've been described as a collective rather than a traditional band, with members taking on pseudonyms like 'The Oracle' for vocals and 'The Alchemist' for guitar work. Their performances are known for being unconventional, mixing dissonance with ethereal melodies. While they've faced initial bewilderment from some audiences, they've continued to develop their sound across multiple albums without much mainstream attention.
