Bio:

The band FIRE STRIKE was formed under the name HOLE OF HELL, in 2004, always with the purpose of playing the purest traditional metal, with roots in the style icons in the 80s. Always playing covers and influenced by bands like Grim Reaper, Angel Witch, Saxon, Iron Maiden, among other big names of this line of traditional heavy metal.With the name HOLE OF HELL, the band performed a few times and also released a demo auto-intitule, but had a simple production and served as a first step to learning work on studio.In 2005 there is a change in the line-up and with this change, the band is now called FIRE STRIKE, with line-up that had faith Kuro (Current Living Heart), Helyad Amaro and Felipe (G), Bruno Trevigno (B) and Jean Praelii (D), record the first demo of Fire Strike, the band becomes several shows, but over time other line-up changes, delay the plans to launches official debut of the material. In 2010 another change occurs that alters and elevates the songwriting of the band, with the entry of the singer Aline Nunes, moves the 'footprint' of songs bringing more technical, but the traditional ideology remains intact.With the formation of Aline Nunes ( V ) , Helyad Amaro , Henrique Schuindt (G ) , Edivan Diamond ( B ) and Jean Praelii ( D ) the band released their first official record The Ep 'Lion And Tiger'.'Lion And Tiger' was recorded and produced by the band independently, the recordings were made at the home of guitarist Helywild, who handled the production with the help of fellow guitarist Henrique Shuindt, the result was much higher than expected by the band and received excellent critical in specialized media from various parts of the world, such as note 10/10 on the site Die Fight.The cover art was done by the great artist Celso Mathias, who has worked with other bands on the national scene and has a very successful career working for multinationals with their illustrations.The CD release occurred via Thirteen Records label owned by Tor vocalist, the band Zumbis do Espaço, the EP has 5 songs themselves: “Nightfever”,”Streets of Fire”,”True as a Dream”,” Master of the seas” and the title track “Lion and Tiger“.'The Ep in less than 2 months of release the copies had been sold in Japan and Europe being sold to countries like USA, France, Ireland, Italy and Russia.The band already has the experience of sharing the stage with big names from the national and international metal as Harppia, Hellish War, Salário mínimo,Antharez,Comando Nuclear,Skull Fist, among others, is with great pretensions to the disclosure of this Tour his first official record.In 2014 there was a further change in the formation of the band, Jean Praelii leaves the band and his was the replacement Alan Hunter, an excellent drummer who already was part of the bands FINAL SCREAM (cover of Grim Reaper and authorial), Shockbreaker (traditional heavy metal, authorial) Tiger (traditional heavy metal band with female vocal) still belongs.

Album:

Despite being around for over a decade in some form or another, Fire Strike is only just releasing their first EP, “Lion and Tiger”. The Brazilian band plays fairly safe traditional heavy metal, but with a female vocalist. One strange fact I’ve picked up from Brazilian heavy metal bands is that they all love Canada’s Skull Fist. Fire Strike is really no different, as they have a somewhat similar sound. There are numerous virtuosic guitar solos throughout the EP, along with simple, old-school riffs. The vocalist is certainly quite talented; however, I think she tends to wail a bit too much. Sometimes it sounds like she goes out of her range, uses too much vibrato, or tries to really vary the notes she is singing, when a more simple approach would be more effective. In the end, it becomes difficult to understand what she is saying without really focusing on the lyrics. This is not inherently a flaw of the EP, but a more laid-back approach might benefit the band.As with many bands in the style, Fire Strike is primarily driven by the quality of their shredders and singer. The rhythm section doesn’t play a prominent role. There are some parts where the bass shines on its own (there is a bass break in “Night Fever Nova”), and it is certainly not buried in the mix. Likewise, the drums are not overly dominant on this release. The five songs themselves are pretty consistent. Both the title track and “Night Fever Nova” have instantly memorable moments. The other three songs are perhaps a bit weaker, but nonetheless still worth hearing. "Master of the Seas", for example, has stunning dueling Iron Maiden-esque guitar leads. What I enjoy most about this release is its sheer enthusiasm. All of the songs have plenty of energy, and Fire Strike sounds like a band that wants to play traditional heavy metal. Sure, it’s derivative, but quality is always more important than originality. Ultimately, “Lion and Tiger” is a very endearing release. It has all of the trademarks of classic heavy metal, and is sure to be a fun listen.
