The time has come for swords, steel and glory with the relentless black metal assault of Fire Magic. Hailing from Virginia, the band brings a unique and triumphant energy to their sound, blending the grandeur of classic heavy metal with raw black metal excellence — with perhaps the slightest echo of folk-metal (think the early Helheimalbums).
What you get is an expert-level execution of melody and a relentless wave of aggression in equal measure. That kind of thing goes down well at Decibel, so we’re very pleased to present the album in full here today. From the epic “Break Them Against the Mountains” to the contemplative “Imperishable Flame,” Memories of Fire promises a varied but consistent black metal experience.
Memories of Fire comes out tomorrow via Stygian Black Hand. You can find preorder information at the label’s Bandcamp page.
