Angel of Fire

About Me

Pred završetkom svog prvog autorskog albuma zagrebački sastav Angel of Fire predstavit će se publici nizom nastupa na zagrebačkim pozornicama. Nakon Zapruđa i nastupa u klubu Sax, band će nastupiti u nedjelju, 31. svibnja 2009. u 15:00 h na velikoj pozornici parka Maksimir u sklopu manifestacije „Susreti u Maksi-miru“, te u petak, 5. lipnja 2009. u 12:00 h na Trgu kralja Tomislava!
The band's first line up was assembled in the beginning of 2007, but the origins date as far back as 2005 when Magdalena started playing in a school band named „Roba s greskom“ (Damaged Goods). When their drummer started avoiding rehearsals, Magdalena invited Vlad, her next door neighbor, to join them. Lad stunned them with a great performance on their next rehearsal and soon became a full time member. They even made a radio interview in a show by Malden Cusec. Shortly after though, the band fell apart.
Then one day in 2006, Magdalena invited Vlad to join her in her new project, which later turned into Angel of Fire. The next member to join was Iva, a brilliant keyboard player, who was also a student at the Rock Academy and Magdalena's high school colleague. Luke and Igor joined the band shortly after, giving a new touch to the band. In September 2007, Iva left, but she was replaced with the new keyboard player Lucija. However, the bend line up experienced another change in the spring of 2008. The band had to part ways with Luke, the bass player, and Lucija, the keyboard player. New members to take their place were Vanja and Emil. In that changed line up band continued with the very successful work, they have been doing so far, and during the autumn of 2008 gave many noticeable concerts and continued preparing the material for their album. After many searching, the band finally found the one and only true line up with morebrighter future.
The music they play is Heavy Metal, so distorted guitars, Judas Priest styled bass, great keyboards, drums played by a seven year old Mike Terrano, and a distinctive vocal performance that makes this band different from others. English lyrics clearly show their intention to be heard outside of Croatian boarders. They recorded their first demo of 5 songs in the Tajni svijet studio, with production by Enio Vuceta and Adam Žvigac. They also recorded a video for their song Stoneflower in the summer of 2007 on a very attractive location in a quarry in Zaprešic, Croatia. They are currently preparing their first album, more music videos and live performances.
Grupa službeno postoji od početka 2007. godine. Gledajući kronološki, sve je počelo 2005. godine kada je Magdalena svirala gitaru u školskom, ženskom bendu „Roba s greškom“. Budući da bubnjarka nije dolazila na probe, Magdalena je pozvala Vlada, svog susjeda i prijatelja s Rock Akademije koju oboje pohađaju, da im se pridruži. Nakon što su čule kako svira, djevojke su ostale bez teksta. S nepune četiri godine je već lupao po bubnjevima osnovne ritmove. Gostovali su u radio emisiji Mladena Kušeca na Hrvatskom radiju, no ubrzo nakon toga, bend se raspao.
Vlad i Magdalena i dalje su pohađali Rock Akademiju, te je krajem 2006. godine Magdalena ponovo pozvala Vlada da se pridruži njenom novom bendu. Održano je nekoliko proba, a nakon dolaska pjevača/gitarista Igora, sastavljena je tadašnja postava koja je opstala dulje vrijeme. U listopadu 2007. godine, oprostili su se od klavijaturistice Ive, a nedugo zatim na njeno mjesto je došla Lucija. Međutim, postava benda je u proljeće 2008. doživjela novu izmjenu. Bend se oprostio od basista Luke Marića i klavijaturistice Lucije Majstorović. Na njihova mjesta došli su novi članovi, basist Vanja Pandžić i klavijaturist Emil Zuccon. Bend je u toj, nešto izmijenjenoj, postavi nastavio vrlo uspješan rad i tokom jeseni 2008. godine održao mnogo zapaženih koncerata te nastavio sa pripremom materijala za album. Nakon dosta traženja bend je napokon našao jedinu i pravu postavu s još svjetlijom perspektivom u budućnosti.
Temelj benda je heavy metal, a Igorova upečatljiva boja glasa kompletnom zvuku benda daje poseban ugođaj. Kad na to dodate bass u maniri Judas Priesta, distorzirane gitare, klavijature, zvuk bubnjeva koje svira osmogodišnjak bolje od dvadesetogodišnjih bubnjara, jasno je da se radi o izuzetnom bandu koji se tekstovima na engleskom jeziku pokušavaju ne zatvoriti u okviru Hrvatske, nego upravo suprotno, otvoriti i približiti cijelom svijetu. Samim time teško ih je usporediti sa bilo kojim domaćim, ali i svjetskim izvođačem. U studiju Tajni svijet snimili su svoj prvi demo od 5 pjesama u produkciji Enia Vučete i Adama Žvigača. Bend već ima i jedan video uradak, a radi se o spotu za pjesmu Stoneflower koji je snimljen u ljeto 2007. na vrlo atraktivnoj lokaciji u kamenolomu u Zaprešiću. U pripremi je materijal za kompletan album, a usto još video spotova i koncerata. Također postoji mogućnost da bend nastupi na nekim koncertima u Japanu i u Europi, no o tome kad dođe vrijeme.
