Bio:
Former school mates Victor Olsson and Dino Zuzic once had a funk rock band together which ultimately went up in flames after school graduation in 2005.From the ashes rose an idea to form a heavy rock band where all their rock and metal influences could be combined into one bowl of steaming rock n’ roll soup! They soon found reinforcements in bass player Magnus Carlsson, drummer Gustav Elowson and vocalist Martin Jonasson.In 2007 a demo was recorded and released on myspace.Due to lack of time, drummer Gustav Elowson had to leave the band in early 2008. But the band soon found a new drum basher in the form of National Drum solo Champion of 2008, Anton Roos.They went on by playing gigs at several different venues in Gothenburg, which gave them a growing fanbase.In early 2009, they recorded and released their second demo.In the spring of 2010 Martin Jonasson decides to leave the band, due to personal reasons.After searching across the nation to find Martin’s replacer, it became clear that there was only one guy who had the skills for it.His name was Tobbe Jansson.Together they felt stronger than ever and recorded a new self produced demo (released early 2011) and started doing concerts again.In January 2012, SAFFIRE entered the legendary Studio Fredman (In Flames, The Haunted, Spiritual Beggars etc…) and began recording their debut album “From Ashes to Fire”. The recording went on during the spring and early summer and in June they came back to the studio to mix the album.At the controls were no other than Fredrik Nordström and Henrik Udd.The album was later mastered at the world famous Fascination Street Studios by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Symphony X, Soilwork etc..)In november 2012 SAFFIRE signed a record deal with Inner Wound Recordings.The album will be released May 17th in Europe and North America.…and who knows what the future holds!
Album:
Album releases January 23, 2024.Usually, when recording an album, musicians indicate certain modifications to the product, but at some point this must be finalized and the master must be delivered to the record label. Well, SAFFIRE have decided to retrace their steps and remix and add some details to what was their 2015 album “For The Greater Good”, and in 2024 they will release their version “Redux”.For those who did not have the opportunity to listen to the original, this is a good time to delve into the band’s proposal, with a very modern hard rock, which from the beginning with “The Great Escape”, with that furious Hammond intro , which promises power and does not disappoint, followed by “Casters Of The First Stone” and then the song that gives the album its name. Three very powerful songs, with guitar riffs that hit hard, but without losing the melody.“Heartless” has a slower tempo, and is more melodic, balancing with the first 3 songs. And it fits perfectly with “Dandelion’s Shame”, with verses in which the piano and guitars play perfectly, to give way to an excellent chorus.The singer Tobias Jansson has a very powerful voice that, although in most of the songs he imposes the strength that the genre needs, he has no problem placing it in the quieter sections.“As Promises Burn” is based on a bass riff that dominates the entire song, with an instrumental chorus in which the clean guitars take over, and which is still a curiosity.“Blame It On The Rain” is in the line of “Dandelion’s Shame”, while at the end there are “Ghost Town”, very rocking and fierce, and the very calm “This Is Not The End”, which varies quite a bit. which is the general line of the album.They believed it was necessary, and we are not the ones to say otherwise.
