Angel of Fire

About Me

Angel of Fire is a five piece groove Metal band based in Jackson NJ. The band was formed in early 2006 by Nick Lefkowich and Tony Laws. Drummer John Soden and Bassist Ryan Laws both joined the band within the same year. In early 2007, the band added their second Guitarist Mike Sorensen to complete the forceful lineup.Angel of Fire’s 2007 self-titled Demo is comprised of fast-paced songs and an addictive groove that lays underneath the madness coming through the speakers. Tony and Mike never cease to impress with shredding solos, and powerful, harmonious rhythms backed by John and Ryan’s tight, hammer-down rhythm section. The whole package is sealed with a kick to the face by Nick’s passionate and diverse vocal stylings.“Our band really sets itself apart from the rest of the crowd in its originality. No corners are cut when writing these songs, and writing these lyrics, and creating the vocals. We’re very different than the scene bands that you see in clubs today. It’s a rejuvenated form of Metal.” Such words could not ring truer.Click here to view our YouTube channel.
