Something Burning is the sixth album by heavy metal band Vicious Rumors, released in 1996.[1] It introduces a notable change in the band's musical direction, with the power metal sound being replaced by groove metal; the music is also more aggressive and slower.
This is the first album not to have lead vocalist Carl Albert, who died in 1995 from a car crash and instead, guitarist Geoff Thorpe (who's also the producer for this album) handles the vocals, The song "Perpetual", included on the album, was the last track written with Albert. This is also the first album to have Steve Smyth as one half of the other guitarists.
