 | | Description: | Since their inception, REZN have mined the stark monochromatic depths of underground metal and fused them with the kaleidoscopic delights of psychedelia, prog rock, and shoegaze. With their latest album Burden, they plumb the deepest, bleakest trenches of their sound while retaining a lifeline into the cosmos. Staking a claim at the crossroads of the hazy dimensions of modern psych acts like Black Angels, the cavernous gloom and reverb-drenched guitar of bands like Spectral Voice, and the lurching low-end meditations of artists like OM, REZN have created Burden??an album of immense amp-worshipping weight and intoxicating instrumentation.
Burden was recorded simultaneously with their previous album Solace back in July 2021 at Earth Analog Studios in Tolono, IL by Matt Russell. Rather than release a double album, REZN divided the material into two separate records, each with its own distinct emotional timbre. Whereas Solace was meant to uplift and create a sense of narcotic dreaminess, Burden skews towards the themes of delirium, claustrophobia, and misery. Musically, Burden favors riffs over atmosphere, percussion over ether, dissonance over beauty, but there is still an undeniable cohesion between it and its predecessor. The marriage of brute force and sublime textures has always been a key tactic in REZN??s approach??a duality that may explain their touring history with fellow synesthesia-inducing metallurgists Elder and Russian Circles??but the spectrum of the band??s mercurial temperaments has never felt as clearly defined and fully explored as it does on Burden.
Burden??s artwork is a literal continuation of Solace??s landscape painting, showing the fiery depths at the foot of the mountain range. Even Burden??s most reserved moments feel like the calm before the storm, a gathering of momentum before the punishing closer and lead single ??Chasm,? a megalithic weedian crusher further bolstered by a scorching guitar solo courtesy of Russian Circles?? Mike Sullivan.
- Black vinyl, printed lyric insert [w/ download card]."Burden" is a powerful LP by Chicago-based band Rezn, released through the renowned label Sargent House in cooperation with Cargo. On this record, Rezn refine their distinctive blend of heavy, doom-laden riffing, psychedelic textures and deeply atmospheric soundscapes. Slow-burning guitar walls, hypnotic bass lines and spacious, effects-laden vocals create an immersive listening experience that feels cinematic and meditative at the same time. The album's compositions often build gradually from fragile, almost ambient passages into massive climaxes, balancing weight and subtlety with a strong sense of dynamics. Lyrically and sonically, "Burden" revolves around themes of emotional gravity, introspection and the tension between inner darkness and transcendence, making it a dense and cohesive work best enjoyed as a complete journey on vinyl.
Sargent House, in collaboration with distributor Cargo, has become a home for forward-thinking heavy and experimental artists, carefully curating releases that push the boundaries of rock, metal and beyond. Their focus on high production quality, striking artwork and strong artistic identity ensures that LPs like "Burden" are presented as complete, collectible objects. With a reputation for championing ambitious, genre-defying bands, Sargent House / Cargo provide Rezn with the ideal platform to reach an audience that values both sonic depth and aesthetic coherence.
Rezn have steadily established themselves within the modern heavy-psych and doom landscape thanks to their ability to fuse crushing heaviness with vivid, psychedelic atmospheres. Known for their immersive live shows and slow-evolving, textured songwriting, the band have drawn attention across the underground scene and beyond, often mentioned alongside contemporary acts that favor mood, space and emotional resonance over sheer speed. With "Burden," Rezn further confirm their status as one of the more compelling and imaginative voices in current heavy music, appealing to listeners who seek intensity, nuance and a strong narrative flow in their records. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
