Burn is the eighth studio album by the English hard rock band Deep Purple, released in February 1974. This was the first Deep Purple album to feature then unknown David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes, from Trapeze, on bass and vocals.
“ Burn” is a powerful track from W. A. S. P.’s 2009 album Babylon, a record deeply inspired by themes of biblical prophecy, rebellion, destruction, and spiritual conflict. True to the album’s concept, the song blends apocalyptic imagery with the band’s signature heavy metal aggression. Musically, “ Burn” delivers driving riffs, sharp rhythm changes, and an intense vocal performance by Blackie Lawless, combining classic W. A. S. P. heaviness with a darker, more mature tone. The song channels anger and defiance, portraying fire as both a force of punishment and purification — a recurring symbol throughout Babylon.
