The Polish band BURNING CREATION forge a new identity rooted in raw, Swedish-inspired death metal.
1^st single from upcoming album out now!

BURNING CREATION was formed in Żywiec in early 2022 by the Klimond brothers, following the suspension of Haures. A year later, the band debuted with the “Never Dead Nation” EP, followed by the well-received debut album “Sea of Dead Bodies”, which led to numerous live shows across Poland.

While the band’s early work was firmly rooted in melodic death metal and viking metal, BURNING CREATION have been steadily forging their own musical identity. Their new material “Breath of Fire” moves towards a more uncompromising, at times old-school form of death metal, drawing from the traditions of the Swedish scene. Heaviness, rawness and directness now take centre stage, while melodic and viking metal elements increasingly serve as accents rather than the foundation of the songs.

Echoes of Unleashed, Dark Tranquillity and Hypocrisy can be heard in the band’s music, but these influences serve as a starting point for a distinctive style combining classic death metal aggression with a dark atmosphere and epic storytelling.

Upcoming studio album titled “Breath of Fire” continues the story of warriors returning from beyond the grave to avenge what was lost when humanity abandoned its ancient beliefs and values. Having risen from their tombs and crossed a sea of dead bodies, the Undead Nation begins its final march to reduce civilisation to ashes. Humanity’s last stronghold is destined to fall before the army of darkness.

The album features seven new original songs and an atmospheric intro. Its story draws heavily from Norse mythology, exploring the final battle between Vidar and Fenrir, the underwater realm of Ægir and Ran, and the land of eternal frost awaiting those who did not die in battle.

The drums and bass were recorded at Sound Stone Studio in collaboration with Paweł Kurowski. Electric guitars and vocals were recorded at Marek Stefaniak’s studio, who also handling the final mix and mastering. The cover artwork was created by Damian Bydliński, whose previous credits include collaborations with Lucifer’s Friend and Riverside.

“Breath of Fire” will be released digitally and on CD on November 13, 2026 through Via Nocturna. The album is available for pre-order at official webstore.
