Violenta ben oltre i limiti del thrash “Rule 13”, mentre “Carve my Name in Stone” punta su un sound emozionale e avvolgente, con un chorus ben congegnato.

Una gran banda y es impresionante lo que me vengo asombrando con las bandas de Irlanda que poseen un nivel de músicos impresionante al igual que las bandas.

If you’re into European Power Metal bands from the 2000s and want to hear some new stuff in that style, these guys are very worth checking out.

“Fireland IV: Forged In Fire” non è certo un discone della Madonna, ma è un lavoro onesto, composto e suonato come Dio comanda (restando in tema). Insomma se vi piacciono le sonorità classiche (in particolare di scuola britannica), perchè non dare una chance ai Fireland?

Durante casi cincuenta minutos nos encontramos una poderosa descarga de heavy metal con toques de power metal y algunos elementos que recuerdan aquello del “verdadero metal” de los años ochenta. Hay piezas donde incluyen algo de thrash metal. “Forged in Fire” continua la saga del héroe trágico que ya la banda presentó en su disco anterior “Fallen III”, y matizando la historia hay ciertos momentos ambientales como esos disparos de “Rule 13” o la entrada progresiva de “Fallen III”.

Gekonnt produziert, meisterlich gesungen, intelligent und mit Herz komponiert. “Fireland IV” ist der Heavy Metal mit beeindruckendem Niveau, den man leider meist nur durch Zufall irgendwo in den Tiefen des Internets findet. Nun, Ihr seid nun darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden. Geht, höret und genießt!

 ‘Forged In Fire’ is very much what you would expect from a power metal album: big, bold, bombastic, packed to the rafters with fast ‘n’ furious riffs – opener ‘Evil Voyage’, for example, accelerates out of the speakers like Iced Earth on steroids – shredding solos, infectious melodies coupled with rousing choruses and anthemic moments than want you to raise your lighters in the air while simultaneously banging your neck till the muscles snap.

Brown’s voice proves to be more than enough to convey the grandeur and passion of the music, as he spreads his wings and dazzles the listener with a powerful, at times almost operatic vocal performance.

Εκπληκτικό ξεκίνημα με το δυναμικό “John Rock”. Τα γκάζια πιάνουν κόκκινο και τα σόλα σε αρμενίζουν. Κόλλησα με “Ironclad” και “Burning Scarecrow” από το πρώτο άκουσμα. Είναι power, είναι έπικ, είναι «Σου παίρνουμε τα μυαλά και ψάξε να μας βρεις». Το “Fallen II” είναι η συνέχεια σε ένα κομμάτι που αρχικά εμφανίστηκε στο ντεμπούτο τους το 2008. Μέσα σε εννιάμιση λεπτά μας παραδίδουν ένα μεγαλείο ενορχήστρωσης, έμπνευσης και ταξιδιού στο όνειρο. Εγώ πάντως νοιώθω ότι τελείωσε γρήγορα και το ξαναέβαλα να παίξει.

More bands could take a couple of pages from Fireland’s outlook on songwriting – it’s best to keep your eyes on strong hooks and build great story-telling lyrics to create a riveting front to back experience.

If you love twin guitars, if you love bands that have the power to make you feel like you don’t want the album to end, you will enjoy this album. I couldn’t stop listening, you wont be able to either.

To “John Rock” ανοίγει εξαιρετικά το δίσκο, με τον up-tempo ρυθμό του και τη δίκαση-πυροβόλο, το “Believe or Die” συνεχίζει στο ίδιο μοτίβο, αλλά από εκεί και μετά οι ταχύτητες πέφτουν, η ατμόσφαιρα κερδίζει έδαφος και ο δίσκος γίνεται ακόμη πιο ενδιαφέρων. Κορυφαίες συνθέσεις σ ‘έναν δίσκο λοιπόν που δεν έχει μετριότητες και fillers, το “John Rock” και τα “μεγάλα” “Ironclad” και “Fallen II”, με τις τρομερές εναλλαγές σε ρυθμούς και ατμόσφαιρες.

I Fireland sono dotati di talento, della giusta dose di sense of humor e buongusto: li terremo d’occhio nella speranza che approdino presto ad un contratto discografico, verso la valorizzazione che meriterebbero.

Songs like 'Hate Will Live On' and 'Ironclad' make this a metal album that on first listen you let wash over you...on second listen you are sitting up and paying attention...on third listen your mouth will be aching as you smile and smile again.

So now I urge you, the good readers of Planetmosh, cast your vote as to who you wish to spend you hard earned money on. On November 18th 2016 it will be Fireland vs. Metallica, you decide as to who wins as kings of the riff. I know who I voted for!
