About Earthburner
Earthburner is named after the Broken Hope song of the same name (“Earth Burner” from the Grotesque Blessings album) and was created with a mission to deliver nothing short of uncompromising, slamming grind-laden songs tinged with afterworld bleakness and contemporary horror.
Earthburner recorded an EP in 2011 with Wagner on guitar, vocalist Ryan Richards, and Broken Hope drummer Mike Miczek. The trio chose 3 tracks picked specifically for a 3-song EP that they recorded at Mercenary Digital Studios with studio-guru Scott Creekmore tracking, mixing and mastering everything.
Then in 2011, Wagner was approached to reform Broken Hope and make it a priority. Broken Hope reformed with Wagner and Miczek along for the ride. Broken Hope came back strong and never stopped. During that time, Earthburner was put to the side—until March 2023. Wagner wanted to bring Earthburner back for good and do a full-length album and more. Wagner and Miczek began to reform Earthburner and brought in Wagner’s stepson Tyler Affinito from Gloryhole Guillotine on bass. Wagner, Miczek, and Affinito spoke of ideas for singers, and as fate would have it, Affinito got a message from Sanguisugabogg vocalist Devin Swank, asking Affinito if he wanted to do a “grind band” plus, and then asked: “What’s your stepdad Jeremy doing with Earthburner?”
It was at that point that Wagner, Miczek, and Affinito asked Swank to join the band. Swank enthusiastically agreed and Earthburner was reborn – and with a mission to write, record, and conquer! In April 2023, Earthburner entered the legendary Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, FL and recorded all of the music for their debut full-length there—11 tracks total. All of the main vocals were recorded at Hypercube Studios in Chicago, IL. Moreover, Mitch Harris (Napalm Death/Menace/Brave the Cold) came on board as an “honorary member” as he contributed his brand of vocals on most of the songs. Earthburner eventually signed with M-Theory Audioin the fall of 2023. Their debut album, Permanent Dawn, is set for release in 2024. Stay tuned!
