What’s up everyone?

As you probably heard by now, we’re playing the Melkweg (Amsterdam)
with HATEBREED and Backfire! this Thursday!

What you haven’t heard yet, is that if you get your “I’m just here for the violence”
shirt (or girlie - we’ve got ‘em now, ladies!) between 19.00 and 20.00, i.e. before
we play, you can pick one up for 7 euro instead of 10!!

So everyone, please come early and pick up a shirt to rock at your favorite
inappropriate occasions! I’m thinking weddings, family dinners, orgies, cage fights!
.. Oh wait, ignore that last one. That one’s pretty much right on the money

In related news, we play at 20.00 sharp! Don’t be late!

Support that shit! See you in the pit!

Rock!

“Het debuut van My City Burning is een overrompelend staaltje muzikaal geweld. Op basis van dit schijfje verdient de band het om zo snel mogelijk bij een passend label onderdak te krijgen. Dat dit gewoon uit Nederland komt is iets om trots op te zijn.”

“My City Burning’s debut is awesome feat of musical violence. Based on this disk, this band deserves to be signed to a fitting label, and soon. That something like this hails from the Netherlands is something to be proud of.”

- podiuminfo.nl (February 2009) - 4 out of 5 stars

“De zes songs hebben een enorme intensiteit en razen in zeventien veel te korte minuten als een TGV door de speakers. […] Kortom: een debuut met een zeldzame impact.”

(Translation:) “The six songs have an enormous intensity, and rage through the speakers like a train in seventeen way too short minutes. […] A debut with an impact I don’t encounter very often.”

- musicfrom.nl (January 2009)

“My City Burning is een aanwinst voor de metalcore/hardcore scene in zowel Nederland, Europa als ook de rest van de wereld. Deze band moet zo snel mogelijk door een fatsoenlijke platenmaatschappij opgepikt worden en een volledig album gaan uitbrengen. […] Zoals het legendarische Suicidal Tendencies ooit al eens sprak: I Want More!”

(Translation:) “My City Burning is a welcome addition to the metalcore/hardcore scene in Holland, Europe and the rest of the world. This band needs to get picked up by a proper label and release a full length album. […] Like the legendary Suicidal Tendencies once said: I Want More!”

- metalfan.nl (January 2009)

“Ik kom zelden een demo tegen die een zodanige impact achterlaat als deze van MCB”

(Translation:) “I rarely run into a demo that leaves such an impact as this one from MCB”

“I like this band. […] It’s their fresh sound that does the trick. Just when you thought every possible mix of styles has been done before, you’re proven wrong and in my case My City Burning was responsible for this. Old school hardcore and thrash metal sound like two very different styles of heavy music, but this Dutch band incorporates them into one solid sound.”

- AsIce.net hardcore e-zine (November 2008) - 3,5 out of 5 stars

“There’s no emptiness on this release, hardly any time to catch your breathe. This gives you the feeling you’re actually listening to something big despite the fact the album only lasts seventeen minutes. […] If they’re as powerful live as they are on this release, they sure as hell will blow you away!”

- metalrage.com (November 2008) - 73/100

“My City Burning laat op de debuut-EP “White Lies, Black Eyes” een aardig staaltje muzikaal kunnen horen, waarbij rauwe hardcore wordt verweven met voortrazende metal. […] Vooral “The Catalyst”, waarbij zanger Igor op overtuigende wijze zijn keel binnenstebuiten lijkt te schreeuwen, en het catchy
“Black hearts Unite” tonen een hoop potentie.”

(Translation:) “My City Burning displays a nice piece of musical skill on their debut EP “White Lies, Black Eyes”, where raw hardcore is intertwined with raging metal. […] Especially “The Catalyst”, where singer Igor appears to scream his throat inside out in a convincing manner, and the catchy “Black Hearts Unite” show a lot of potential.”
