First off we would like to say Happy New Year to all of you and we hope that 2013 brings you much positivity and growth! We have a few things to get everyone caught up to so let’s just get right to it as 2013 promises to be a fast paced year in the world of Powderburn.
New EP
We’ve finally finished up our new EP which is titled “
Four Thirty Two” and it will be released on
January 29th, 2013. The track listing is as follows:
1. Raise The Flag
2. Crash
3. The Substance Of All Things Hoped For
Not to be all cliché but good things really do come in small packages and even though this is just a 3-song EP, it clocks in at just under 15 minutes and in typical Powderburn fashion we touch on several different styles and musical textures. In addition to the hard work that we put into these songs, we would also like to thank the all-powerful Dale Singleton for his time and efforts in mixing the EP in a way that compliments the music very well.
Hometown show in Austin, TX We’re starting off the new year with a hometown show at Dirty Dog on 6
th street. This show will serve as a night to celebrate the release of “432” and we will be bringing quite the show to help kick this year off with a bang. We will also be appearing with Downfall 2012 and Nothing In Return as well as one other guest that is TBA at the moment.

Austin Chronicle Music Poll
Since 2002, Powderburn has been a consistent top 10 metal band in the polls and we want to keep that trend going again this year. Powderburn has also had a nice little run of taking the top spots in the past as well:
2006-07: Best Metal
2004-05: Best Metal
2003-04: Best Metal/Industrial
2002-03: Best Metal/Industrial
2002-03: MP3 of the Year
So, how do you vote?
Head over to:
http://www.austinchronicle.com/feedback/musicpoll/12/ Nominate Powderburn for the best metal band and fill out the rest of the ballot as you see fit. You do not have to have every category filled out in order to submit but if you have votes for other members of the Austin music community then please by all means cast your votes. All we ask is that you help us stay in the top 10 metal bands or maybe even hit that top spot again. Send this to your friends, family members, enemies, brosefs, pets, whoever you can think of and tell them to vote for POWDERBURN!!!
Thank you all for your continued support of Powderburn and we’ll be seeing you very soon at a stage close to you.
