Spiral Fracture Unveil Third Single “Burning”
US progressive metal outfit Spiral Fracture continue to build toward their album Grace in Decay with the release of their third single “Burning”, out now through Wormholedeath. The track arrives with an official lyric video that underlines just how personal this material is for the band.
“Burning” – grief turned into resolve
“Burning” is framed by the band as a revenge anthem born from grief and loss. Musically, it moves between tightly coiled, chugging riffs and more open, dissonant chords, with drums that lurch from measured stomp to double‑kick flurries. The vocals sit in that sweet spot between melodic clarity and wounded roar, pushing the chorus into proper earworm territory without sanding off the emotional edge.
Progressive metal with teeth
What sets Spiral Fracture apart is how they treat “progressive” less as an excuse for technical show‑boating and more as a way to bend structure around feeling. The song’s dynamics – dropping into near‑whispers before erupting again – echo the way grief repeatedly ambushes you after the initial shock. Fans who discovered the band through earlier singles “Soul Allegiance” and “Defiance” will recognise the same blend of atmospheric guitar layers, thunderous rhythm section and the unmistakable presence of Javier Ramos’ alto‑range vocals.
Album context and early buzz
“Burning” is taken from the upcoming album Grace in Decay, which outlets like V13 have already highlighted as one to watch based on the emotional heft of “Soul Allegiance”. Progressive Rock Journal and other webzines picked up the new single quickly, noting how the band fuse elements of death, black and power metal without losing a strong sense of songcraft.
Lyric video & streaming
The lyric video leans into stark imagery and controlled colour palettes, letting the words carry the violence of the story while the band keep the arrangement on a tight fuse. It feels less like a promo clip and more like a window into the record’s broader themes of decay, retribution and fragile hope.
