Waiting To Burn

Hard-Hitting Power Groove For Your Headstream

About Me

WAITING TO BURN was an idea born into realization in the spring of 2005 when co-founders Ed Mason and Tony Dangler, both ex-members of the one-time powerhouse TRUNKMUSCLE, incorporated their own ideas of what was missing in the ever-stagnating metal music scene into what they themselves longed to hear - a power groove band undaunted by the flaccidity of its surroundings with the ability to express and portray raw emotion on command. After expeditiously complementing the lineup with bassist Scott Hicks, former vocalist of the band STASH, in mid-2005 and ex-TRUNKMUSCLE frontman Kevin Eis in April of 2006, WAITING TO BURN wasted no time in rearing its angry head with a very potent and infectious collection of songs which provoke thought through pure groove fueled by honest intensity.Forged from a desolate plot of northwest Ohio nowhere, WAITING TO BURN captures the sound of frustration by combining hypnotically-enhanced riffs with emotionally charged vocals and lyrics to match. With a 5-song self-titled EP set for release by the beginning of September, WAITING TO BURN is sure to capture the ears, hearts and minds of true metal fans everywhere who crave it the way it was meant to be - no cheese, no whine, no-nonsense. FOR BOOKING INFORMATION, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE STATING A BRIEF NATURE OF THE EVENT INCLUDING A PHONE NUMBER OR A RELIABLE WAY TO CONTACT YOU. YOUR INQUIRY WILL BE ADDRESSED IN A PROMPT AND ORDERLY MANNER. Group photo taken by Cindy Clay.
