HEADLINE: ACE OF TOASTER RECORDS UNLEASHES "BURNT SONGS FROM THE TOASTER: VOLUME II"—A BRUTAL, BALANCED SONIC CRUCIBLE OF METALLIC INDUSTRIAL TEXTURES

DATELINE: NASHVILLE, TN / INDIANAPOLIS, IN — AUGUST 27, 2026 — Independent audio imprint Ace of Toaster Records has officially announced the global street release of Burnt Songs from the Toaster: Volume II, the highly anticipated sophomore industrial heavy metal album written and produced by David Kitzmiller. Serving as an evolving, multi-volume continuation of the raw grit established in his earlier catalog, this release unleashes the visceral emotional currents that the quieter acoustic series cannot contain, mapping out a darker sonic terrain where rigid genre boundaries collapse entirely under the weight of the lyric.

THE INDUSTRIAL RECONSTRUCTION

Where the foundational first volume of Burnt Songs was an aggressive exploration of volatile tracking styles, Volume II marks an absolute shift in control, showcasing Kitzmiller stepping directly behind the console as producer to shape the brutal architectural framework of the record. The album draws heavy inspiration from the classic eras of early Metallica, Ministry, and Nine Inch Nails, utilizing crushing walls of sound and aggressive thrash syncopation that drops instantly to deadpan silence.

The sessions reunite the core creative collective behind the Toaster Universe audio footprint. The album shifts its focal delivery entirely to a front-and-center, commanding lead vocal presence from guitarist James Fields, backed by the intense vocal dynamics and textures of veteran singer-songwriter Some Guy Named Tim. Born out of deep therapeutic breakthroughs following the completion of Kitzmiller's unsparing childhood memoirs, the tracking directly adapts heavy system crossovers—including a crushing, heavy rock presentation of the relational wreckage poem "Profane," which simultaneously serves as a major text asset inside the debut novel Nameless Cowfish.

LOGISTICAL TRACKING & PRODUCTION SPECIFICATIONS

The sophomore release features elite engineering and mastering configurations, meticulously tracked across premium facility tracking rooms to command the listener's immediate attention. From confrontational metal movements to unexpectedly tender acoustic interludes, The James Fields Band provides the rigorous backbone for the entire release.
