A Blast of British Melodic Hard Rock: Burn’s ‘Global Warning’ (MICP-10699)
Today’s entry shines a light on a gem from the UK melodic hard rock scene: the third studio album from Burn, titled “Global Warning.” We are looking at the 2008 Japanese pressing, released on the Avalon label (Marquee Inc.) with the catalog number MICP-10699. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Released on February 20, 2008, this album marked the official Japanese debut for the six-piece British band, despite them already having a career spanning over 15 years. Featuring members with pedigrees in bands like Alien and Praying Mantis, Burn delivers a mature, polished sound that resonates deeply with fans of classic British hard rock.
Moving away from the Bon Jovi-esque pop-metal of their earlier years, “Global Warning” embraces a richer, “bone-heavy” melodic style often compared to Whitesnake, Ten, and Gotthard. It is a “Royal Road” (classic style) album filled with sorrowful, wet melodies and driving rhythms characteristic of the UK tradition.
The album features standout tracks like the catchy up-tempo number “Forgive Me,” the melodic “Down In Flames” (notable for its keyboard arrangement), and the emotive ballad “Pray For Rain.” The guitar work is praised for being technical and edgy without sacrificing melody, while the vocals are clear and powerful.
As is standard for Avalon releases, this Japanese edition includes an exclusive bonus track, “Need A Little Loving,” bringing the total to 12 songs. MICP-10699 is a solid recommendation for fans of Gotthard, Fair Warning, and traditional British melodic hard rock.
