Album Review: BURDEN OF LIFE - The Makeshift Conquerer
From the ashes of mediocrity rises BURDEN OF LIFE with their latest offering, "The Makeshift Conquerer." The German metalcore outfit have crafted a rollercoaster of an album, blending bone-crushing riffs with spine-tingling melodies in a way that only they can.
Lead singer Karl Schmidt's vocals are as ferocious as ever, delivering guttural screams that could wake the dead. The guitar work on tracks like "Savage Fury" and "Echoes of Despair" is nothing short of mesmerising, with blistering solos that will have you air-guitaring like a pro.
But it's not all about shredding on "The Makeshift Conquerer." BURDEN OF LIFE show their softer side on tracks like "Fading Light," where haunting piano melodies and delicate vocals create a beautiful contrast to the album's heavier moments.
Producer Klaus Müller has done a stellar job capturing the band's energy and intensity, giving each track the sonic punch it deserves. The mix is crisp and clear, allowing every instrument to shine through without overpowering the others.
Overall, "The Makeshift Conquerer" is a triumph for BURDEN OF LIFE, proving once again why they are one of the most exciting bands in the metalcore scene. So crank up the volume, grab your air guitar, and let BURDEN OF LIFE take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist
Burden of Life
BURDEN OF LIFE: The heavy metal powerhouse you never knew you needed in your life. Hailing from the depths of Germany, this band is not here to play by the rules. With their bone-crushing riffs and guttural vocals, they've carved out a niche for themselves in the metal scene that simply cannot be ignored. Fronted by the enigmatic vocalist Karl "The Reaper" Müller, BURDEN OF LIFE's live shows are a sight to behold. The man is a force of nature on stage, commanding the attention of every single person in the room with his formidable presence. And let's not forget about the rest of the band - the guitar work is impeccable, the drumming is thunderous, and the bass lines are pure filth. But don't be fooled by their aggressive sound and brutal image - these guys have a sense of humour too. Whether it's their tongue-in-cheek lyrics or their penchant for throwing unexpected cover songs into their setlists, BURDEN OF LIFE knows how to keep their fans on their toes. In a genre that can sometimes take itself a bit too seriously, BURDEN OF LIFE is a breath of fresh air. They're not here to preach or pontificate - they just want to melt your face off with their music. And trust us, they do it very, very well. Keep an eye on these guys - they're only just getting started.
