"I ride a comet My trail is long to stay Silence is a heavy stone.I fight the world and take all they can give There are times my heart hangs low...These lines could have very well been written for IRON FIREthe Danish Power Metal band. Of course, any true metalhead will recognize the lyrics belong to the cult Heavy Metal ballad Heart of Steel by the one and only Manowar. While the introduction may seem a bit over the top, Manowars anthem is not too far removed from IRON FIREs experience. Band mastermind Martin Steene lived through quite a few ups and downs during his 9-year musical career. A rosy beginning greeted the young formation as IRON FIRE partnered with cult producer Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Illdisposed) to churn out the bands debut Thunderstorm. The critics raved and the word out on the street was all about IRON FIREs promising career. But the higher one soars, the harder one falls, or at least in this case... One year later, in 2001, the same magazines that praised IRON FIRE turned their backs on the Power Metal ensembles follow-up On the Edge. Even the bands own label seemed disinterested, but things would become worse, before they became better. Following an amazing concert in Hamburg, Germany, the planned release party fell through and the label announced that they would not be releasing IRON FIREs third offering. As for the icing on the cake: The bands vehicle was towed that evening. Struck down repeatedly by ill fate, it was only a matter of time before the line-up began to crumble. In the end, the last man standing was none other than a very disappointed Martin Steene, who had no choice but to accept defeat, but began gathering strength to execute his vengeful and conquering comeback. With Revenge (a fitting title in view of the bands past experiences), Steene projects IRON FIREs history into the fantastic world of the warrior Cain, who once double-crossed by his closests friends and allies and now revived by magical forces, takes revenge upon his betrayers. Revenge is an epic tale .. la Conan the Barbarian, told by a band, who obviously knows how to fight back. To once again quote the elitist of all Metal bands, IRON FIRE returns from the underground to stand and fight. With the help of their grandious third album, Revenge, and a new label, NAPALM RECORDS, Steene and Co. prepare to take revenge on all those who doubted the strength of their Power Metal Crusade.Iron Fire at the Metal Invasion Festival Passau 2007
