Kurt Deimer has announced the release of the video for his new single “Burn Together,” directed by Scottish filmmaker Paul Boyd (Sting, Deadmau5, The Cult). The video spotlights Deimer’s cinematic vision and charismatic presence and features former Queensrÿche frontman Geoff Tate on guest vocals. The track and video are the first offering from Deimer’s upcoming debut EP Work Hard Rock Hard, following the release of his cover of the Pink Floyd classic “Have A Cigar.”

“One of my most enduring musical memories is Geoff Tate performing ‘Silent Lucidity’ with Queensrÿche in front of an orchestra on the MTV Video Awards thirty years ago, so to have Geoff Tate performing on my first release and in a video with me is beyond surreal,” said Kurt Deimer. “His music has had a profound influence on me, and now I get to celebrate that influence on tour and in the video. Paul Boyd did an amazing job filtering my vision through his lens and creativity. It’s such an honor to be surrounded by so many talented people.”

“Kurt Deimer knows exactly what he wants and gives 100% on screen. His song “Burn Together” and the video collaboration we made with Geoff Tate is a breath of fresh air in the sea of sameness.  Kurt wants to break the mold and he’s got a story to tell…and his live show kicks ass too,” said Paul Boyd.

“Burn Together” debuted as #3 most added on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Indicator chart, following only Papa Roach and Bad Wolves, and premiered on the Foundations Secondary Market Rock Chart as the fourth most added.. 

The song is the public’s first taste of what to expect from Kurt Deimer’s upcoming debut EP, Work Hard, Rock Hard. Due for release later this year, the all-original EP is ripe with Deimer’s enchanting lyrical musings, the brazen musicianship of his musical director and key collaborator Phil X [Bon Jovi], and the epic production of Chris Lord-Alge (Rolling Stones, Green Day, Joe Cocker).

Joined by a band that includes guitarists Phil X - who is splitting time between Deimer and Bon Jovi - and Michale Vassos, bassist Cristian Sturba and drummer Dango, Kurt Deimer embarked on his first tour this fall in support of Geoff Tate. Deimer will continue to hold down direct support duties this November as the legendary frontman performs the Queensrÿche albums Empire and Rage For Order in their entirety across North America.
