Bio:
Dragonsfire is a traditional heavy metal band from South-Hessian, Germany. With almost a decade of existence the group was originally formed on the 1st of January 2005 by the vocalist/bass-player Thassilo Herbert, the two guitarists Thorsten Brand and Matthias Bludau and the drummer Jan Muller. The cool thing about this band is that in the first year of their existence they played 20 shows without recording anything. Only after they decided to hit the studio and so their first EP entitled ‘Burning for Metal’ was born. In the meantime much has happened. Some members left the band and others joined to take their place. They recorded their first full-length album ‘Visions of Fire’ that was released in 2008. The next album was called ‘Metal Service’ released in 2010 and ‘Speed Demon’ their fourth record came out on 13th of April 2013. On the 21st of September 2014 Dragonsfire released their first vinyl-single called ‘Cider Victrims’ together with the befriended band Steelpreacher.In a traditional line-up with vocals, two guitars, bass and drums the quartet from South-Hesse plays "classic" heavy metal with pieces of True, Speed, Power and Melodic Metal. The press compared their style with bands like: Iced Earth, Grave Digger, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Manowar. You can hear and see that DRAGONSFIRE play their songs with a desire for quality and entertainment on many many gigs.
Album:
Third full-length album.20 years after their founding and a whopping 15 years after the last studio album, Dragonfire report back impressively. With its new work "Rebirth Of The Beast", produced by Rolf Munkes (CREMATORY), the Hessian heavy metal institution proves that it has lost none of its force, passion and class - on the contrary: Dragonsfire are stronger than ever. Formed in 2005, the band made a name for themselves in the metal underground scene with the EP Burning For Metal as well as through joint performances with scene greats such as MYSTIC PROPHECY, CAGE and WIZARD. Their debut album Visions of Fire released in 2008 on Pure Steel Records - the starting signal for a moving band history full of ups and downs. Despite numerous cast changes and heavy setbacks - including the tragic, unexpected death of singer and bassist Torsten "Thassilo" Herbert - DRAGONSFIRE always remained combative. Today, guitarist Matthias Bludau is the last remaining founding member at the forefront of a newly formed band ready to carry on the legacy - loud, uncompromising and full of energy. Musically, the band remains true to themselves: no smooth-polished bombast, no cluttered keyboard walls - instead powerful, honest power metal that deliberately stands against the current trend. Rebirth Of The Beast is exactly what the title promises: the rebirth of an untamed beast who cannot be forced into the mainstream. For the 20th anniversary, Dragonsfire set a strong sign. Rebirth Of The Beast is more than just a new album - it's a statement!Although they got off to a promising start twenty years ago, Dragons Fire suffered a number of setbacks during their career – the worst of which was the death of their singer Torsten Herbert. Founding member Matthias Bludau had his hands full trying not to lose interest in his band completely. Fortunately, the guitarist and songwriter has staying power and can now – with a completely revamped line-up – present the first studio album in more than ten years. Fortunately, the change in lineup has had little effect on the band's musical direction: traditional power metal still reigns supreme, making no attempt to hide its English influences, but at the same time incorporating German elements. The eleven songs are tailored to frontman Dennis Ohler, who masters both the highest highs and the robust mid-range with passion and bravura. His four colleagues don't always make it easy for him, though, because REBIRTH OF THE BEAST mostly races through the landscape at a brisk gallop, with drummer Elias Bludau spinning his double bass drumsticks throughout and only giving the singer time to catch his breath once (“Don't Live In Fear”).
