Age of Fire – “Through the Tempest”

Age of Fire were formed in South Florida in 1988, and soon after they disbanded. The band was reunited again in 2018 and one year later they released their debut full-length work, “Obsidian Dreams”. On July 12^th the band presented its newest EP, entitled “Through the Tempest”.

With the goal of making their own, unique sounding heavy metal, the Age of Fire avoid the established musical patterns and dare to venture further, exploring new ideas and approaches. While many bands follow the usual musical routes,  the Age of Fire without caring about labels, produce a fresh sounding heavy metal, rough, unprocessed, full of grit and fire.

Crunchy, distorted riffs with thrash influences and gritty groove, a solid low-end with heavy bass lines and harsh vocals, describe the general outline of the “Through the Tempest”. It is mainly riff oriented EP, with a distinct underground feeling and a dirty sound. In the album, there are, also, some doom inspired ideas like in the song “Mary Celeste”, while the song “Through the Tempest”, though instrumental, is one of the heaviest-if not the heaviest- tracks of the album, with aggression in its riffs and fiery, shredding solos.

In 4 songs, the Age of Fire unleash a barrage of thundering heavy/thrash metal, with a fierce, original underground sound. The “Through the Tempest” is a great EP that offers a fresh sound but with an old-school twist.
