AboutEarthburner
Earthburner® originally began as a new band for Broken Hope‘s Jeremy Wagner when Broken Hope‘s “hibernation period” began in 2002.
Earthburner is named after the Broken Hope song of the same name (“Earth Burner” on the Grotesque Blessings album). Jeremy Wagner has actively written Earthburner music and demoed material in various studios since the band’s inception in 2002. It has remained his priority band and has successfully built up a worldwide following.
Earthburner recorded a 3-song EP in 2011 that they recorded at Mercenary Digital Studios with studio-guru, Scott Creekmore, tracking, mixing and mastering everything.
In late 2011, just as Earthburner was going to be a main band, Jeremy Wagner was approached to reform Broken Hope. Broken Hope reformed with Wagner and Mike Miczek along for the ride. Earthburner remained a priority with Jeremy Wagner and Mike Miczek actively writing and recording Earthburner music and created art designs for the band as well.
In March 2023, Wagner focused on Earthburner more than ever and recorded a full-length album and more. Jeremy Wagner and Mike Miczek added bandmembers to Earthburner and brought in Wagner’s stepson, Tyler Affinito, from Gloryhole Guillotine on bass.
Also, Ryan Richards parted from the band so Earthburner got Devin Swank on vocals…Tyler Affinito got a message from Sanguisugabogg vocalist, Devin Swank, asking Tyler if he wanted to do a “grind band” and also asked, “What’s your stepdad Jeremy doing with Earthburner?”
It was at that point that Jeremy, Mike, and Tyler wanted Devin Swank in their ranks and Devin enthusiastically agreed and joined the band.
Wagner, who had a pile of songs already written with Mike, booked studio time with the intent of recording a full-length album…within a month, the band began recording.
In April 2023, Earthburner entered the legendary Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, Florida where they recorded all of the music for their debut album, Permanent Dawn. The band then recorded all of the vocals at Hypercube Studios in Chicago. The band also brought in Napalm Death guitarist/vocalist, Mitch Harris, as an “honorary member” and side-vocalist.
*Earthburner were also honored by Ross Dolan of Immolation and Jake Cannavale of Vixen Maw who both contributed guest vocals to Earthburner‘s debut album.Permanent Dawnwas mixed by mixing-god Scott Creekmore (who had mixed both the Earthburner EP in 2011 and the Broken Hope album, Mutilated and Assimilated, in 2017), and then mastered by the legendary Mike Fuller of Fullersound in Davie, Florida.
Earthburner line-up:
Devin Swank – primary phlegm & guttural vocals Jeremy Wagner – riff-wielder & guitars Mike Miczek – caffeinated snare-killer & drums Tyler Affinito – low-end psychopath, bassist, & NOT Billy Corgan *Mitch Harris – back-up frenzied vocals & honorary Earthburner member
