Belgian power metallers
FIREFORCE are preparing to enter
The Prophecy & Music Factory studios in Germany to record their new album. Greek producer
Roberto Dimitri Liapakis (
MYSTIC PROPHECY,
SUICIDAL ANGELS,
DEVIL'S TRAIN,
CRYSTAL TEARS) will helm the effort, which is tentatively due in early 2013.
FIREFORCE was recently rejoined by guitarist
Steve Deleu, who has previously toured with
Blaze Bayley (
IRON MAIDEN,
WOLFSBANE) and
Tim "The Ripper" Owens (
JUDAS PRIEST,
ICED EARTH,
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN).
FIREFORCE's latest album,
"March On", was released in March 2011 via
7Hard. The CD artwork was designed by
Eric Philippe, who has previously worked with
RHAPSODY,
RIOT,
MOB RULES,
TNT and many others.
Formed in August 2008 by former
DOUBLE DIAMOND members
Flype and
Erwin,
FIREFORCE's lineup was completed by
THB (drums; ex-
DD),
Joeri (guitars; ex-
SELF INFLICTED) and
Patrik (bass; ex-
GRINNING GHOUL). In February 2009, the band entered the studio to record a four-song EP with producer
Roberto Dimitri Liapakis.
Joeri subsequently decided to leave
FIREFORCE for family reasons and was replaced by
Steve Deleu (ex-
GWYLLION).
