THE RETURN OF THE HESSIAN METAL LEGENDS
20 years after their foundation and a whopping 15 years after their last studio album, DRAGONSFIRE are back in impressive style. With their new album “Rebirth Of The Beast”, produced by Rolf Munkes (CREMATORY), the Hessian heavy metal institution proves that it has lost none of its power, passion and class - on the contrary: DRAGONSFIRE are stronger than ever.
Founded in 2005, the band made a name for themselves in the metal underground scene early on with the EP “Burning For Metal” and through joint appearances with scene giants such as MYSTIC PROPHECY, CAGE and WIZARD. Their debut album “Visions of Fire” was released in 2008 on Pure Steel Records - the starting signal for an eventful band history full of highs and lows. Despite numerous line-up changes and serious setbacks - including the tragic, unexpected death of singer and bassist Torsten “Thassilo” Herbert - DRAGONSFIRE always remained fierce.
Today, guitarist Matthias Bludau is the last remaining founding member at the helm of a newly formed band that is ready to carry on the legacy - loud, uncompromising and full of energy. Musically, the band remains true to itself: no smoothly polished bombast, no overloaded walls of keyboards - instead, powerful, honest power metal that deliberately goes against the current trend.
“Rebirth Of The Beast” is exactly what the title promises: the rebirth of an untamed beast that cannot be forced into the mainstream. For their 20th anniversary, DRAGONSFIRE are making a strong statement. “Rebirth Of The Beast” is more than just a new album - it's a statement!
