In the mid-nineties I played guitar for a little remembered Hardcore band called Painstake, in addition to handling vocal duties for a band called Perseverance from Denver and Pueblo CO., respectively. With these bands, I was fortunate enough to share the stage twice with the Mighty Bloodlet. While through acquaintances and happenstance Bloodlet was indirectly a part of my life, sharing friends and briefly a former drummer. While I never had an opportunity to get to know them better I did know the brilliance of their music. A fan from the first moment I heard the classic 7" records, I still remain a devout fan. This amazing live recording captures the genius this band possesses. Leaving no doubt that they are worthy of legend.
I look forward to their future endeavors as a result of their recent reformation.

Burn is hands down one of Hardcore's all time greatest heavy hitters. Influential, legendary, and consisting of some of the genre's most accomplished musicians. Truly masters of the movement. This release only strengthens the foundation they began to build upon so many years ago. "...From the Ashes" is nothing short of Hardcore brilliance.
