Formed in the wake of profound loss, Burning Path rises from the legacy of Lucifer’s Hammer. Following the death of founding member Andre Adasme (Hades) in December 2024, his brother Rodrigo (Titan) chose to honour that legacy by forging a new chapter alongside long‑standing guitarist Hypnos. In doing so, the pair created a project that carries the spirit of their past while carving out its own identity. Titan has taken on vocal duties in addition to drums and guitar, with Hypnos contributing guitar, bass and keyboards, resulting in a lean but formidable partnership.

Burning Path’s debut album captures the traditional heavy metal heart that defined their previous work, channelling the melodic power and emotional weight that have long been their signature. The record leans into a commanding mid‑tempo stride, balancing steel‑edged riffs with a sense of drama and introspection. Echoes of classic mid‑1980s metal run through the album, drawing on the spirit of bands such as Dokken, Heavy Pettin’, Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele and the heavier side of 1980s KISS, yet reshaped into something unmistakably their own.

The album’s artwork reflects the band’s renewed purpose, while the music itself stands as both tribute and forward momentum. Burning Path channel heroism, melancholy and resilience in equal measure, crafting songs that feel both familiar and fiercely driven.

Burning Path unveil new single “Take Me High”

Chilean true metal band Burning Path present their new single “Take Me High,” the second track revealed from their upcoming self‑titled debut album. The album, titled Burning Path, will see international release on February 27th, 2026 through Dying Victims Productions.

Burning Path was created in the aftermath of profound loss. The group carries forward the spirit of Chile’s respected heavy metal act Lucifer’s Hammer, whose history changed forever in December 2024 when founding member Andre Adasme, known as Hades, was murdered by a stranger. His brother Rodrigo, known as Titan, faced the difficult decision of how to honor both the music and the memory of someone who had shaped the band’s identity from the beginning. Titan chose to continue the creative journey alongside longtime guitarist Hypnos, but under a new name. As Titan explains, the Lucifer’s Hammer name was retired because no one could ever replace his brother’s presence or the character that defined the band’s sound.

Burning Path builds on the same traditional heavy metal foundation that Titan and Hypnos have championed for more than a decade. Titan notes that the essence remains unchanged, and the new material reflects the same dedication to classic metal that guided their earlier work. The upcoming album delivers a powerful blend of melody, grit, and mid‑tempo strength that draws from the heart of mid‑1980s heavy metal while shaping something entirely its own.

On the album, Titan performs vocals, drums, and guitar, while Hypnos contributes guitar, bass, and keyboards. Together they create a sound that balances intensity with emotion, capturing both the heroic and the reflective sides of traditional metal. Listeners who appreciate the melodic flair of Dokken, Heavy Pettin, Diamond Head, Europe, Witch Cross, Virgin Steele, and the heavier moments of 1980s KISS will recognize familiar influences, yet the songs stand firmly on their own ground.

Although Hades is no longer here, his presence is felt throughout the music. Burning Path serves as both tribute and continuation, a testament to loyalty, memory, and the enduring power of heavy metal.

“Take Me High” is now out, along with the previously revealed single “Chasing the Future.”
