Bridges Ablaze

Bridges Ablaze are an Austin-based alternative-metal/metalcore duo founded in 2021 by guitarist-vocalists **Brien Allen** and **Ruben Zamora**. The pair write, record and self-produce everything in-house, layering djent-fueled riffs, melodic hooks and moody synths that nod to ’90s nu-metal and modern wave-core. Viral TikTok teasers for singles such as “Numb,” “Hellbent,” “Apocalypse” and 2025’s “Frozen” have pushed their streaming count past 30 million plays, while high-energy live shows see them expand to a full touring lineup. Proudly DIY and fiercely genre-agnostic, Bridges Ablaze position themselves as a new voice for listeners who feel boxed in by rock’s status quo.
