    Sloan (band)

    Sloan is a Toronto-based rock/power pop quartet from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Throughout their nearly twenty-five-year career, Sloan has released 11 LPs, two EPs, a live album, a Greatest hits album and more than thirty singles. The band has received nine Juno Award nominations, winning one. The band is known for their sharing of songwriting from each member of the group and their unaltered line-up throughout their career. Their albums' success (most notably Twice Removed) has made Sloan one of the most popular Canadian bands of all time.

    History

    Formation and Peppermint EP (1991-1992)

    The band was formed in 1991 when Chris Murphy and Andrew Scott met at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Halifax; Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson joined soon after. The band is named after the nickname of their friend, Jason Larsen. Larsen was originally called Slow One by his French-speaking boss which, with the French accent, sounded more like "Sloan". The original agreement was that they could name the band after Larsen as long as he was on the cover of their first album. As a result, it is Larsen who appears on the cover of the Peppermint EP, which was released on the band's own label, Murderecords.

    Burn

    A burn is a type of injury to skin , or other tissues, caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, friction, or radiation. Burns that affect only the superficial skin layers are known as superficial or first-degree burns. When the injury extends into some of the underlying layers, it is described as a partial-thickness or second-degree burn. In a full-thickness or third-degree burn, the injury extends to all layers of the skin. A fourth-degree burn additionally involves injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons, or bone.

    The treatment required depends on the severity of the burn. Superficial burns may be managed with little more than simple pain medication, while major burns may require prolonged treatment in specialized burn centers. Cooling with tap water may help relieve pain and decrease damage; however, prolonged exposure may result in low body temperature. Partial-thickness burns may require cleaning with soap and water, followed by dressings. It is not clear how to manage blisters, but it is probably reasonable to leave them intact. Full-thickness burns usually require surgical treatments, such as skin grafting. Extensive burns often require large amounts of intravenous fluid, because the subsequent inflammatory response causes significant capillary fluid leakage and edema. The most common complications of burns involve infection.

    Burn (Havok album)

    Burn is the first full-length album recorded by the thrash metal band, Havok. It was released in 2009 on Candlelight Records.

    Background

    Drum, bass and guitar recording started in mid-2008 in the basement of singer/guitarist David Sanchez's mother's house, in Lakewood, CO. It took roughly 6 months. Vocals were recorded later at Motaland Studios in Denver with engineer Bart McCrorey, who also mixed the album. The band did not work with a producer due to a limited budget of roughly $2,500.

    Halsey Swain provided the artwork after an earlier version of the same concept by another artist was rejected.

    The album consists of 5 tracks that had been previously released on various EPs or demos and 7 tracks that were original to the album. Bassist Justin Cantrell contributed "Morbid Symmetry" to the songwriting process, but left the band before recording began. This track was designated the "single" for the album, though no actual single was ever released. Jessie De Los Santos replaced him. Drummer Ryan Bloom left the band shortly before the album's release date and was not permanently replaced until 2010. His credit on the album reads, "drum tracks by Ryan Bloom," and he was the lyricist for "Ivory Tower."

    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to justify the lands we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to forget the lifes we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to justify the lands we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie
    History repeats itself
    In another second
    Generations of exploitations
    And we just don't get it
    Burn it - burn this lie down
    Burn it - no more enslavement
    Burn it - burn this history page
    Burn it - just fucking burn it
    Human life is still worth less
    Than possession of power
    And we are slaves of today
    Under fascist co-operations
    Burn it - burn this lie down
    Burn it - no more enslavement
    Burn it - burn this history page
    Burn it - just fucking burn it
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to justify the lands we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to forget the lifes we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to justify the lands we took
    Another page in a history book
    Another lie to forget the lifes we took
    Structured to maintain the awareness
    And the civilizations we made
    The lands we plundered and the cultures we raped
    Were all part of progression
    The victims of a capitalist system
    Just statistics in history books
    That glorify mass murders
    And the genocides
    What has changed and what have we accomplished
    In our strive for equality?
    Oppression rules and money controls
    In a world were war is still
    Economically beneficial
    For those in power
    In a sexist, (racist), homophobic existence
