Fall of the Plastic Empire by Burning Brides
Fall of the Plastic Empire is an album by Burning Brides, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Arctic Snow”, on 10 lists with a best position of #45.
Fall of the Plastic Empire, Burning Brides' debut, first came out on File Thirteen Records on April 17, 2001, and V2 gave it a second life the following year with new cover art. Dimitri Coats produced it himself, and the Philadelphia hard rock outfit, with Melanie Coats and Mike Ambs alongside him, sounds like a band that learned its trade on stage: fuzzed, heavy riffs, a rhythm section that swings as much as it stomps, and hooks that sneak up under all that distortion.
That live reputation came honestly, from opening dates for the White Stripes in 2000 and tours with Queens of the Stone Age and ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. The song that stuck was "Arctic Snow", which the countdowns kept pulling back out for more than a decade.
