Without going into much detail, "The Burning" is the dark tale of a man in jail, serving a life sentence for killing the man who murdered his daughter. This man escapes from prison and attempts to rebuild his life and find purpose in living. The album will be divided up into two distinct halves - the first centered around his prison life, and concluding with his escape. The second half will center around his attempt to start over.

This tells a good bit of background without giving away any details at all. I have been looking forward to crafting an album around a central story like this for some time now.

So, in other words, "The Burning" has nothing to do with some guy with an STD. Sorry to disappoint...lol...
