Written by Tyson Leslie and Todd La Torre (Queensryche), the song "Burning Time" is a result of five musicians who were willing and able to use the pandemic shutdown to their creative advantage.
The song was originally written by Leslie for a different band, but when that band passed on it, Leslie and Roxy Petrucci (Vixen, Madam X) decided to work through it and see what could be made of it. Leslie then reached out to Jimi Bell (Autograph), La Torre, and eventually Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, The Winery Dogs) to round out the lineup.
La Torre worked on lyrics and melodies. Simultaneously, the remaining musicians crafted and recorded their parts remotely as well in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Michigan.
Mixed by award-winning engineer Anthony Focx (Beautiful Creatures), with cover art by Jason K. Herman (Nelson) and Brent Engstrom (A Topps designer for Garbage Pail Kids), "Burning Time" is the first single Leslie has released since 2014.
It's also the first metal / hard rock single Leslie has released since venturing into the "solo artist" world.
