“Burial Tree was formed in 2009 by Bay Area artist Monte Cimino. The group released two albums, Outer Dark (2010) and Rituals (2012). Both releases were positively received, before the group disbanded in 2013. During the next ten years, Monte released a single and an EP under the Burial Tree moniker. Then, during the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020, Monte started recording demos that didn’t fit any of his current projects at the time. This led to the revival of Burial Tree and the 2025 album, The Power of Myth.

Burial Tree’s music falls somewhere in between heavy post-rock/metal, experimental, and ambient genres while maintaining memorable and engaging songs. For The Power of Myth, Cimino recruited ex-Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo, Bay Area drummer Adam McClure, bassist/producer Bill Laswell, and saxophonist Peter Apfelbaum to contribute to the album’s three extended tracks. A mixture of improvised and composed sections, The Power of Myth delivers crushing psychedelic riffs and unhinged primal drumming that seemingly melts into dark ambient landscapes and tense textural interludes.”
