Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Attention les œils, ça pique! Vous pouvez voir ci-dessus la pochette du nouveau IRON FIRE, "Metalmorphosized", qui sortira en Europe le 04 octobre (le 29 septembre en Espagne et le 1er octobre dans les pays germaniques). Il célèbrera les 10 ans d'existence du groupe et contiendra des morceaux inédits datant de 2001 à 2006, réarrangés afin de sonner de la manière dont le groupe estime qu'ils doivent sonner en 2010. A noter également que tous les musiciens ayant participé aux différents enregistrements du groupe seront de la partie et feront quelques apparitions.
Les Danois enregistreront également un morceau destiné à un tribute à VIRGIN STEELE, "By The Gods: A Noble Tribute To Virgin Steele".

Le nouvel album d’Iron Fire se nomme Voyage of the Damned et sortira le 27 janvier 2012 via Napalm Records.

Want to headbang like it’s 1999!? Then Iron Fire's "Among the Dead" should be your obvious choice. The new offering from Iron Fire is as old school as it gets 16 years into the millennium. The 90s spawned a lot of power metal classics, and Among the Dead is made in the spirit of those.

Recorded in Death Island Studio with engineer Marco Angioni and Mixed in Poland's Hertz Studios, heaviness is guaranteed, along with melodic hooks, blistering guitars and pounding power metal drumming. Due out September 16th, the album's track listing is:

1) Intro (The Lost City)
2) Among the Dead
3) Hammer of the Gods
4) Tornado of Sickness
5) Higher Ground
6) Iron Eagle
7) Made to Suffer
8) The Last Survivor
9) No Sign of Life
10) Ghost from the Past
11) When the Lights go out
12) For whom the Bell Tolls

Long-Running Copenhagen-based power metallers Iron Fire have announced the May 4th release of double-CD Dawn Of Creation: Twentieth Anniversary on Crime Records. The album, which includes a special collection of demos, live tracks, covers, and three new songs, will be available on double-CD Digipack CD and digital formats. The lyric video for "Dawn Of Creation" is streaming below. The digital single is now available on Spotify and will soon be on other digital outlets.

The label released the following statement concerning the forthcoming historical metal document:

"So now it's been twenty years since five young guys from the Danish country side decided that power metal should be the first step on their quest to glory. The name Iron Fire came up and carved in stone that these Danes meant to be real, and despite their young age, forge catchy power metal rooted in the classics of Helloween and Running Wild. As the journey continued, ups and downs turned and reformed the band into the trio of today. And now that trio is looking back, and in their wish to celebrate 20 years of power metal, a selection of demo songs has found its way to a double album. Along with three brand new songs Iron Fire provides old songs in the original pre-album versions as well as previously unreleased material. This is the raw and pure, from the heart of Iron Fire. Enjoy!"
