If you were around in 1994, you know that music was changing fast. Grunge had taken over the airwaves and many bands either adapted—or vanished. But Bride? They doubled down. Bride gave us a masterclass in sticking to your roots. Rather than chasing what was trendy, they turned inward and pushed their own sound to the next level. The result was a ferocious, focused, and faith-charged album that delivered hit after hit—"Beast," "Murder," "Scarecrow," and more, the perfect follow-up to their amazing Snakes In the Playground. Produced by John and Dino Elefante and winning 1995 Hard Music Album of the Year, Dove Award.

Back in 2015, Dale Thompson had all but stepped away from music. With Bride in the rearview, it looked like the end of an era. But Alan Zaring had other plans. Reaching out with a handful of fresh riffs and a dream, he sparked a collaboration that gave birth to The World Will Burn. Their debut Severity (2016) and follow-ups Ruination (2017) and Nothing’s As Real As It Seems (2019) struck a chord with fans and critics alike—landing #1 tracks and topping metal charts and now, Burn, Baby Burn! delivers their most explosive, finely tuned, and emotionally gripping album yet and if you life bands like Alice In Chains, All that Remains, Tool, Chevelle and even Def Tones, you are going to dig this album. 

And this time, they’ve teamed up with Girder Records—bringing their signature intensity to an even wider audience.

“We knew this album deserved the Girder treatment,” says Alan Zaring. “They’ve poured so much into this release, and we’re beyond excited for what’s next.”

Get ready… Burn, Baby Burn! is about to light up the world. 🔥

Full Description

Back in 2015, it seemed like Dale Thompson had left his singing career behind. Having retired from Bride and relocated to New Zealand, his legendary voice was absent from the heavy music scene. But fate had other plans. Around the same time, musician and friend Alan Zaring was writing new material, searching for the perfect lyrical and vocal partner. He reached out to Dale, hoping for some of his signature poetic insight. That collaboration sparked something powerful, leading to the formation of The World Will Burn and their first full-length album, Severity, in 2016.

The response was overwhelming. Their brand of heavy, atmospheric, and deeply personal metal resonated with fans. Follow-ups Ruination (2017) and Nothing’s as Real as It Seems (2019) cemented their place in the Christian metal world, with their albums topping Amazon’s alternative metal charts and their songs reaching #1 multiple times.

Now, after five years in the making, Burn, Baby Burn! is ready to ignite the scene. The band has pushed their sound and production further than ever before, crafting an album of massive guitar hooks, innovative arrangements, and the signature intensity that fans crave.

And they’ve partnered with Girder Records to make it happen.
