With “My Fight Begins,” Burn My Shallow Ground delivers a searing anthem of survival, channeling personal anguish into a blistering industrial metal storm. The track stands as the band’s fourth release in their 2025 series, and it may be their most visceral statement yet, a powerful confrontation with grief, trauma, and inner torment.
From the first beat, the production helmed by Daniel Graves (Aesthetic Perfection) and mastered by Benjamin Lawrenz at Hamburg’s Chameleon Studios strikes with surgical precision. Mechanical percussion collides with distorted synths and anguished screams, crafting a dark sonic palette that feels both cinematic and brutally honest. The chorus line “Torture and madness my fight begins!” resonates like a war cry, anchoring the song’s core message of defiance and survival.
The track is uncompromising. The cover art evokes a stormy reckoning, perfectly mirroring the music’s tempestuous spirit. This is not music for the faint-hearted; it’s a cathartic outpouring for those who’ve faced darkness and chosen to resist.
Burn My Shallow Ground continues to push genre boundaries, merging gothic and industrial elements with emotional vulnerability. “My Fight Begins” is an anthem for the wounded, fierce, fearless, and necessary.
