In 1996, they released their first album, 0.01, through Fifth Colvmn Records. Shortly after the release of their debut album, the label met its demise. Having lost virtually all distribution and promotion for their album, they turned to Re-Constriction Records.
In 1998, they released their second album, Helium, a compilation of what they deemed the best songs off 0.01 combined with new material recorded in London and Minneapolis. Their second album later met the fate of the first one when Re-Constriction also came to a halt.
Signing up for Invisible Records in 2001, they released two albums: Hardcore Vanilla, a full-length album consisting of completely new content; and Regurgitator, a complete compilation of all tracks from their first two albums.
In 2007, the label finished the band's discography with two final compilations: Hardcore Vanilla (Demos) and Hardcore Vanilla (Unreleased). The albums were previously unreleased, featuring demos and alternate tracks from their third and final full-length album in 2001.

Burn Out
H3llb3nt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
I'm going down
And feeling down
I need something new
I've got the feeling that I'm getting used up
My blood is hot and it's not the flu
I'm burning up
And I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
I'm burning up
And I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
You strip me down to my barest needs
It's just the fact that I am on my knees
Every time I open up I bleed
And now I've got myself to please
To please
To please
I'm going down
Feeling down
I need something new
I've got the feeling that I am getting used
My body can't take such vile abuse
My blood is hot and it's not the flu
I'm going down
Feeling down
I need something new
I've got the feeling that I am getting used
My body can't take such vile abuse
My blood is hot and it's not the flu
I'm going down
Feeling down
I need something new
I've got the feeling that I'm getting used
My body can't take such vile abuse
My blood is hot and it's not the flu
I'm burning up
I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
I'm burning up
I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
I'm burning up
I'm burning down
I'm a burn out
The lyrics to H3llb3nt's song Burn Out describe a person who is feeling burnt out and desperate for something new. The repeated lines "I'm burning up, and I'm burning down, I'm a burn out" serve as an expression of this person's exhaustion and feeling of being used up. The lines "You strip me down to my barest needs, It's just the fact that I am on my knees, Every time I open up I bleed" suggest that this person has been left vulnerable and hurt by others - perhaps by a lover, friend, or even society as a whole. Despite this pain, the person acknowledges that they need to focus on pleasing themselves, rather than trying to meet the needs of others all the time.
Overall, the song Burn Out seems to be a raw and honest expression of emotional exhaustion, pain, and the search for something new to bring back a sense of vitality and purpose to life.

Was lucky enough to see this live in DC back in the day - Pretty sure ChemL and 16V were billing, recall meeting Charles Levi at the bar and the Brothers Black snaking it on 3 Murders. That's about it.
