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:
For fans of Deep Purple, Rainbow, AOR and 80's melodic hard rock. Saffire was formed in 2005 when Victor Olsson and Dino Zuzic were in school together. The idea was to form a band based on old school melodic hard rock and heavy metal but add a modern twist to it. After months of searching and auditioning, the duo was joined by Magnus Carlsson, Martin Järbur and Gustav Elowson. In 2007 they recorded a first demo but soon after, Gustav had to leave the band and was replaced by then 17-year old Anton Roos, who had just won the Swedish Drum Solo Champion of the year contest. Another demo was recorded in 2008 and Saffire started playing shows in the local area, slowly making a name for themselves. In 2010 Martin was replaced by Tobias Jansson, and an EP was recorded and released. The band kept playing lot's of live shows and finally in 2013, Saffire signed with Inner Wound Recordings for the release of their debut album "From Ashes to Fire". The album was highly praised all over the world, and Rocknytt.net, Sweden's biggest rock website, put the album on their top 10 list of the best albums of 2013. Saffire went on to tour all over Scandinavia, playing some of the biggest festivals like Sabaton Open Air, Tons of Rock Gothenburg Sound Festival alongside bands like Slayer, Steel Panther, At the Gates and Sabaton. In November 2015 they released their second album "For The Greater Good". The album was, as its precursor, highly praised all over the world. In January 2016 they held a sold out release show in Gothenburg which followed by a co-tour together with Spiritual Beggars in the spring. During the summer of 2016 they played many of the big rock festivals in Sweden which includes Sweden Rock Festival, Metallsvenskan, Skogsröjet and Rock in Lisch together with artists like Queen, GHOST, Twisted Sister, The Hellacopters etc...Now in 2018 Perris Records is proud to release their "Where The Monsters Dwell" CD worldwide.
