(Heavy Metal / Power Metal) FireForce - March On - 2011, MP3 (tracks), 320 kbps

FIREFORCE is the name of the phoenix that emerged from the ashes of the Belgian Metal band DOUBLE DIAMOND. Very quickly, FIREFORCE became well-known for their excellent live gigs, and their 2009 EP “Moonlight Lady” succeeded in attracting the attention of the recording industry. As a result, 2010 was a very creative year for the band. Their debut album “March On”, which is due to be published towards the end of March 2011 throughout Europe, is guaranteed to propel the band out of the underground Metal scene from which it emerged and into the hearts of the larger public, i.e. Metal fans everywhere.

The strong drive of the band’s Heavy Metal roots constantly interacts with their obvious affinity with the Power Metal genre. However, a melodious harmonic component is always present in their work. The twelve songs on the album are characterized by solid riff structures accompanied by an excellent drum baseline that keeps on driving them forward. The vocals truly deserve to be described as authentically Metal and never falter once throughout the album. Summing up, “March On” is a thrilling, well-structured Heavy Metal album with definite Old School tendencies complemented by the albums contemporary production.

Quite soon after the formation of the band, FIREFORCE were able to play its first gigs, among which the Ages Of Metal Festival with JAGUAR, AVENGER and CLOVEN HOOF. They were also able to play some shows with KILLER and HELLISH WAR. During this initial period, the band also recorded their EP “Moonlight Lady”, which featured four songs and was primarily used for promotional purposes.

For most of that time, the band had been playing in its original constellation: Flype on vocals, Erwin Suetens on guitar, TH Bulsara on drums, Metalpat on bass guitar. They were accompanied by Joeri Brion on solo guitar. However, towards the end of that period Joeri left the band for personal reasons. FIREFORCE were able to replace him with ex-GWYLLION guitar player Steve Deleu.
