The band was known to add progressive elements to their metal music making them different from most of the other metalcore bands. Their vocals were a mixture of melodic vocals (Reinholdz) and screaming (Jägerskog). They were last signed to Relapse Records.
Burst were formed by a couple of friends for no real intention but to just make fast paced, heavy music. They were initially called Dislars. Their older music was more grindcore and crust punk oriented. They played a few live shows across Sweden. They later started playing a brutal style of hardcore punk. The more they improved their playing skills, the band shifted towards a more progressive style while still sticking to their Hardcore roots. They later decided on the name Burst. The band then began to take their music more seriously and decided to record demos. During this period they toured heavily. They eventually inked a deal with Melon Records. Their first two studio albums were released there. However, the band was not satisfied with the results and began to add more changes to their music. They released a few EPs after this.
In 2003, Burst released Prey On Life through Relapse Records. This is the album that not only set the bands style but also gained them more popularity. This was because Relapse was a better-known label, having in its roster bands like Nile and Mastodon, as well as many well known bands in the metal community. The release was generally well received. By touring with Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon and other bands, Burst began to slowly rise in popularity. Before writing their new album, they knew what direction they had to go. Instead of sticking to a formula that worked, they intended to push themselves even further. The result was Origo, which was praised by magazines such as Terrorizer, Metal Hammer and Kerrang! and saw the band becoming more popular than ever before.
Burst's new record, "Lazarus Bird", was recorded at Bohussound Studio in Kungälv, Sweden, and produced by Burst and Fredrik Reinedahl. Relapse Records released the new album on September 16, 2008 in the United States, September 19, 2008 in Germany, and September 22, 2008 in the rest of Europe. On July 30 Burst announced they would break up as band after their fall tour in 2009.
Flight´s End
Burst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skies run vast around
We'll find our place there
These Borderlands abound
Strike a path trough air
Flapping winds of glory
Below the fires on the moors
Haven for the weary
Flight's end summarize
Journey to an end
Rest for broken wings
Ever purging
Time through sand
Adorn me wings of plight
Nesting in the Borderlands
Sing our cherished flight
Connect again
Nothing dies in vain
The opening lines of Burst's song Flight's End exude a sense of freedom and liberation as they describe how wings ride the evening breeze and how the skies run vast around. This could be interpreted as the feeling of being unencumbered and limitless, ready to explore new horizons. The chorus "Haven for the weary, Flight's end summarize, journey to an end, rest for broken wings" speaks to a journey that has been long, tiring, and perhaps even treacherous. But now, the flight has come to an end, and it's time to rest.
The second verse describes the journey in more detail. The singer strikes a path through the air, guided by the flapping winds of glory, and below them, they can see the fires on the moors. The choice of words like glory and fires could indicate the end of a battle or struggle, and the singer has emerged victorious. The final line of the verse, "We fare and end our story," suggests that this journey is not just a physical one, but a personal one, and it has come to an end.
The final verse, "Ever purging time through sand, adorn me wings of plight, nesting in the Borderlands, sing our cherished flight, connect again, nothing dies in vain," suggests a cyclical progression. Time is ever-purging, and the singer is adorned with wings again, ready to take another flight. Nesting in the Borderlands, they sing a cherished flight, hinting at the continued adventures to come. The notion of nothing dying in vain emphasizes the importance of the journey- whatever it may have been and signifies that every experience was worthwhile.

Adrenaline dump. The reason MMA fighters can take so much abuse and push through the pain barrier.
I have to believe the guy hurt himself. Broken something or other.

I think they were talking about no major injuries. There were four minor injuries, but there were no reports of the copilot being injured.

They landed on their feet. It doesn't even look like that far of a drop though the camera is at a distance.
