Watch It Burn: Embers of Controversy and Musical Depth
Origins and Formation
Watch It Burn emerged from the smoldering embers of the Boston hardcore scene in 2010. With a raw and blistering sound, they quickly gained notoriety for their intense live performances and uncompromising lyrics. The band's core members included vocalist Jake Hart, guitarists Max Pascale and Nick Webb, bassist Brian Macaluso, and drummer Billy O'Brien.
Musical Style and Influence
Watch It Burn's music is a visceral blend of hardcore punk, metal, and sludge. Their songs are characterized by crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and Hart's venomous vocals. The band draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including Converge, Mastodon, and Black Sabbath.
Discographic Journey
In 2012, Watch It Burn released their debut album, "Ashes to Ashes." The record received critical acclaim for its uncompromising brutality and emotional depth. Four years later, they followed up with "The Serpent's Tooth," a more experimental and ambitious effort that further cemented their status as one of the most exciting bands in the hardcore genre.
