Chicago’s Burn The Remains draws listeners in by making music with thought, emotion, passion, and dedication. Combining brutality with melody, BTR provides a visceral and raw side to educated songwriting.

Centaurus creates sounds you’ve never heard before…a criminally tight band.” – The Chicago Music Player…. If metal is your religion, Centaurus is your instrumental church. Built on the foundation of guitar riffs, the pillars stretch to the sky and overtake all that lies ahead with inhumanly fast drum beats and an eclectic mix of music influences that almost sound like world music on minute, with traces of melodic metal as to listen to as pop, as well as tracks from tried and true heavy, progressive music.

This is for those of us who observe and recognize the evidence of evil in faith, hypocrisy of government and the poisons of herd mentality. We are here to confront deceit and although the aroma of fresh, hot, shit nauseates us, we are all too eager to devour it with fork and knife…then ask for seconds so that we may have the privilege of violently vomiting it back down the throats of the contingent. This is for us so that we can be heard. Loud and passionate, our cries are intended to alarm and awaken. We want to destroy what it has taken centuries to construct. We want to punish those that abdicate reason and slaughter those with influence. We demand devastation so that we may rebuild and once again reclaim control of our own lives. With ire and disgust, we reject irrational ideals in favor of logic and common sense, and we’ll scream our message of discontent from bloody throats and open wounds. This is Elitist. – Jayson Smith “We skin our gods, we sell our faith, black holy hands are the tribute to what we’ve sold.”
