The Burden of Existence

The Burden of Existence is a Melodic Metal recording project started by guitarist/bassist Chris rushing and drummer Hunter Ginn. The Burden strives to combine elements of Progressive metal with more traditional european inspired melodic death metal. Our Music places a strong focus on Melody and Composition. The demos were written/recorded across the course of 12 rehersals starting in December of 2003. NOTE....Canvas Solaris Fans please do not pester Hunter for information on this project.
Band/artist history
The Burden is a studio collaboration project that was first conceived in December of 2003. Long time friends Hunter Ginn (drums) and Chris Rushing (guitars/bass) teamed up initially for the recording of one song. Considering the small amount of time invested(5 hours for rehersal/recording all in one day),the result was surprisingly solid . Through out the following year, two more recording sessions yielded four more tracks. Combined, the five tracks would become the blueprint for their future E.P. release : "Praying For Deliverance"
