Sounds Like: BlueFire has a unique sound with heavy riffs, melodic chord progressions, intricate runs and solos, and aggressive but powerful and operatic vocals blended together to form a catchy song, especially the new unreleased material you will all hear very soon! But if necessary to compare to other bands, it would be like a blend of Dream Theater, Metallica, Pantera, Rush, Tool, Mudvaine, and Audioslave with a small mix of bands like Alice In Chains and Guns N' Roses...
Record Label: BlueFire is seeking a Record Label...
Type of Label: None
