DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BURNING PATH’s highly debut album, Burning Path, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from tragedy, BURNING PATH is the continuation of Chile’s beloved heavy metal heroes LUCIFER’S HAMMER. In late December 2024, founding member Andre Adasme, AKA Hades, was murdered by a stranger. His brother Rodrigo, AKA Titan, had a difficult task ahead of him. But eventually, Titan decided to keep Andre’s legacy alive along with longtime guitarist Hypnos, and BURNING PATH was (re)born. Titan decided to retire the LUCIFER’S HAMMER moniker “because there is no other who can replace my brother’s leading role and character, who will forever be the signature of LUCIFER’S HAMMER music.”
However, those whose hearts keep it true will be thrilled to hear the direction of BURNING PATH – “the same traditional heavy metal essence that has been our call for the last 13 years playing with LUCIFER’S HAMMER,” Titan humbly states. Witness the band’s “debut” full-length, Burning Path. With absolutely accurate artwork gloriously adoring its cover, BURNING PATH’s self-titled debut picks right up where 2024’s Be and Exist left off: like an iron fist lined with velvet, a deceptively silky surge that drives deepest into the heart of mid ‘80s metal. With Titan taking up the vocal duties as well as drums and guitar – and Hypnos, in kind, handling guitar, bass, and keyboards – the duo create a pistons-pumping juggernaut of melodic-yet-moody METAL, conveying electricity and energy no matter the tempo. In fact, much of Burning Path hovers near a strutting mid-tempo, and is all the better for it: BURNING PATH are equally powerful when illustrating heroism or heartache. As such, Be and Exist’s trace elements of prime Dokken, Heavy Pettin’, Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and even ‘80s KISS at their most metal are resurgent here, once again rearranged and reformed into anthems entirely their own.
Hades may be much missed, but he’d be honored by the BURNING PATH his former bandmates are on!
