Burden of the Sky is an Alternative Metal band hailing from Bloomington, IL. Formed in 2012 by Josh Appel and the late Brad Shaw, the band has built itself as one of the most well-known bands in the Midwest. Led by Lead Singer Scottie James and Guitarist Josh Appel, the band has performed across the Midwest and beyond with many of today’s hottest Active Rock bands. With a lineup rounded out by Drummer Rick Streeter, Bassist Dustin Tritsch, Guitarist and Backing Vocalist Austin Smith, and Keyboardist Mike Mahoney, “BOTS” regularly leaves fans begging for more once they leave the stage.

Having hit the stage with acts such as Sevendust, A Day To Remember, I Prevail, Buckcherry, Asking Alexandria and more, the band continues to show they belong on the big stage. Their debut album, “Cinis Ad Cinis”, featured the single “Same Old Page”, which has amassed millions of streams since its 2017 release. Sophomore album “Sine Timore” was led by “Sirens”, which was featured on many top Spotify playlists. Most recently, the band released a cover of Ellie Goulding’s “Lights”, as well as original single “Whiteout”, which was featured on Apple Music’s “Breaking Hard Rock” playlist. 2022 will bring multiple single releases that were produced and co-written with the likes Morgan Rose (Sevendust) and Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills, Hawk).
