IRON FIRE: 'Revenge' Concept/Story Explained

July 10, 2006

Vocalist Martin Steene of the Danish power metallers IRON FIRE (also in FORCE OF EVIL) has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Here it is IRON heads. We now have a link up on our homepage with the story and concept behind [the latest IRON FIRE album] 'Revenge'. Due to different circumstances, the story did not make the booklet but now you have the chance to dive into the world that the lyrics are based on. A little fiction story that are inspired by the struggle that me and Kirk went trough in the past four years leading up to our current lineup and the signing with Napalm Records. The record and the lyrics are made in such way that you don't need the concept story to understand what it's all about; it just gives you a closer look into what went on in my head when I wrote those lyrics.

"I would like to thank my old friend Anders Power Jørgensen for helping me making it all sound more like understandable English. And Kirk for all the cozy evenings with too much red wine, discussing the whole concept while we where blasting the soundtrack from 'Lord of the Rings' in my old apartment. My brothers and sisters of metal, I give you 'The Saga of Cain'. Enjoy."

IRON FIRE's third album, "Revenge", was released in March via Napalm Records. The follow-up to 2001's "On the Edge" was produced by Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, TNT, HATESPHERE) and features cover art by Eric Philippe (RHAPSODY, LUCA TURILLI).

IRON FIRE issued two full-length albums through the Sanctuary/Noise label: 2000's "Thunderstorm" and 2001's "On the Edge".
