Burning Inside was founded in the winter of 1995 by Richard Christy (drums and keyboards), and Steve Childers, in Missouri. Before that they played in a band called Public Assassin, but stopped because they wanted to make faster and more technical music. Next bass player/singer Jamie Prim joined the band and they recorded a demo which was very well received by the underground. Mike Estes (who was in a band with Jamie beforehand) moved, after hearing the unique sound of Burning Inside, from Missouri to Florida to become their second guitarist. With Mike's help the whole band moved to Florida later on.
Since the beginning their goal was to have an own sound and not to sound like any of the weekly appearing clones. Their debut "The Eve Of The Entities" is released by Still Dead Productions, aside from that, Burning Inside is to be heard on tribute albums for Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and King Diamond (all on Dwell Records), Iron Maiden (on Twilight Records) and Mercyful Fate (on Still Dead).
In 2001 released their second full-length called ''Apparition''.
Following Richard's relocation to New York, as a member of Howard Stern's radio show, the band became dormant.
Following a self-released EP, in 2007 and then they split-up.
