Band Philadelphia United States Formed 1999
Burning Brides formed in 1999 in Philadelphia, United States. Burning Brides has 13 chart appearances on 13 radio countdowns from 3 stations on RockLists, spanning 2003–2014. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Arctic Snow”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #45.

Burning Brides came roaring out of Philadelphia in 1999 with Dimitri Coats at the wheel and Melanie Coats alongside him, a hard rock band on V2 Records built for sweat and volume. Fall of the Plastic Empire, the 2001 debut, is all fuzz, crunch and heavy swing, and "Arctic Snow" is its calling card: a big, dirty riff with a hook buried in the sludge.
The lineup shifted around the Coatses, with Mike Ambs, then Jason Kourkounis, then Pete Beeman passing through, but the band's reputation was really made on stage. They opened selected dates for the White Stripes in 2000, went out with Queens of the Stone Age and ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead in 2002, then with Audioslave, A Perfect Circle and Mastodon in the years that followed, and with Eagles of Death Metal and Peaches in 2006. Back home in Philadelphia they warmed up crowds for the Melvins and Marilyn Manson.
Leave No Ashes followed in 2004 and doubled down on the dark stuff with "Heart Full of Black".
