Burst have issued the following update:
"We are glad to announce that Burst will embark on our first US tour immediately following our appearance at the intriguing Planet Caravan festival in Asheton, NC on september 19. The tour will go through to October 10. Half the tour Burst and opener Zoroaster will be gigging with the draconian French metal philosophers Gojira on their Metallica off-dates, half the tour we'll do our own shows with Zoroaster. See all the dates here (a few extra dates TBA soon).
At the same time, we'd like to announce that our first US tour will also be our last. Following a band meeting at the end of June, we have decided that it is time to let Burst sleep.
We will honor our commitments, play the planned No Budget Fest in Larissa, Greece as well as the US tour, and a possible best-of show in Sweden in late fall. But after that and for the foreseeable future, Burst will lay down its arms. Whether it is definite or indefinite, we can't say. Thus, in accordance with modern internet heavy metal news site lingo, we'll call it an "indefinite hiatus".
Burst have made music in this constellation for over ten years now, and while our creative urges remain intact, the energy and motivation it takes to be in a band that continues to grow and gets a lot of touring offers has slowly but continuously weakened over the last years. Why? Who knows.
There are a million and one reasons why we haven't been able to reignite ourselves following the release of "Lazarus Bird". We were so proud of that album, and we should have had all the power in the world within us. But something's been missing. For a while now our band has been shaky, unmotivated and prone to a lot of internal discussions, and all that has sucked the energy out of us. That's not how it should be.
We guess the most significant reasons are that we have different views on what our band should be about, how much effort we are able and willing to put into it, as well as individual band members' wish to prioritize other things in their respective lives. We are too proud of our band and our music to let it slowly wither or perhaps explode in a flurry of intra-band conflict. So, we'll end it now amicably and avoid what could possibly turn into a less friendly split. We might have separate views and wills, but there is no animosity between us now.

Swedish metallers Burst have posted "(We watched) The Silver Rain" and "Cripple God" through their Myspace. The two songs come off their forthcoming album, entitled "Lazarus Bird" which will be released on September 16th in US (September 19th in Germany, September 22nd in the rest of Europe) via Relapse Records.
"Lazarus Bird" was recorded at Studio Bohussound (Status Quo, Abba) in Kungälv, Sweden. The follow-up to 2005's "Origo" was once again tracked with engineer Fredrik Reinedahl (Opeth, In Flames, Gadget).
The band adds: "We are shamelessly proud to offer you this preview of what we have been doing this last year. Look out for a couple of studio diary-style webisodes to be released shortly. Love from Sweden."
