The Burning is a Danish metal band from Jyllands capital Aarhus. The group was founded in 2005 by Johnny Haven (Vocals) and Rasmus Normand (Guitar) Rasmus had played in Panzerchrist before and later with Johnny Haven in progressive metal band Awedge. Dissatisfied with the more melodic direction of the former band, the two decided to form a hard hitting metal band, and The Burning was born. Long time friend of Johnnys Thue Moller (bass) was recruited and Tobias Host (Drums) soon followed. Through heavy tour activity The Burning quickly became a force to reckon with in the Danish metal scene. 2007 saw the release of their debut album Storm the walls (produced by Jacob Hansen) and a tour with good friends Dawn Of Demise was followed by a European tour with Illdisposed. In 2008 The Burning wins the prestigious award as "Best Live Band of the Year" at DMeA (Danish Metal Awards) In 2009 The Burning, released their second Rewakening produced by Kristian Kohle Bonifer, and is very well received by the press, earning them 6/7 in the renowned metal magazine METAL HAMMER. Later in 2009, Rasmus Normand decides to leave the band to try something new. Shortly after that the band announced their new guitarist, Alex Kjeldsen (ex- Dawn Of Demise). and in late 2009, after some time in the rehearsal room with Alex, The Burning went on a Denmark tour with the Danish metal band The Psyke Project.
