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 (Jรคgerskog). 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 Kungรคlv, 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.
Momentum
Burst Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lapping like waves at my spine
To linger in this fury
You versus I
Welcome opponent
You versus I
Negation in smothering grip
Yet if I strain my eyes
I still glimpse an unspun
Mile of lies between us,
So tread lightly
My enemy
The lyrics to Burst's song Momentum suggest a sense of opposition, with the singer describing the sediment upon sediment lapping at their spine, representing an overwhelming force or burden. They address an opponent, welcoming them to the opposition and acknowledging the grip of negation that smothers them both. Despite this opposition, the singer also describes an unspun mile of lies that separates them, urging their opponent to tread lightly. The lyrics are emotionally charged, expressing a sense of intensity and conflict through powerful imagery and poetic language.
Line by Line Meaning
Sediment upon sediment
My past experiences and broken dreams are piling up, one on top of the other.
Lapping like waves at my spine
Causing a constant, painful reminder of what has happened, like waves crashing against a shore.
To linger in this fury
To stay in this state of anger and bitterness towards my opponent.
You versus I
It's just you and me, no one else.
Welcome opponent
I accept this challenge and am ready to face you head-on.
Negation in smothering grip
The constant struggle to prove each other wrong, suffocating us both in the process.
To behold and despise
To see and hate what each other represents.
Yet if I strain my eyes
However, if I squint and look closely enough,
I still glimpse an unspun
I can still see an unspoken truth
Mile of lies between us,
A massive gap of dishonesty stands between us,
So tread lightly
So be careful, because things are not what they seem.
My enemy
Despite everything, you are still my adversary and we must continue to fight.

Pradeep has gave me mind clarity about the market as a whole. Find a setup around a market structure and trade it when the market is supportive of those moves.
@RichardMoglen
Yep!

Hi Richard, How often do you complete post-analysis research of your winners/losers? On a weekly or monthly basis?
@couloir1
Pradeep is a beast!!

Do you think we can trade solely using MarketSmith or do you find it difficult setting alerts and drawing trendlines (although price labels are shown so we can easily identify a clear pivot point)? I am now using IBD Digital and TradingView Pro+, and I was considering of changing to MarketSmith but since I am a Uni student it will be difficult for me to afford both TradingView and MarketSmith so my options are IBD Digital with TradingView Pro+ or solely MarketSmith.
