Voyage Of The Damned
(Napalm Records - 2012)
|
Martin Steene and Kirk Backarach are the key members of the band Iron Fate who are now arriving with a new album just one year after the last album Metalmorphosis. Maybe they should have given a little more time to polish the production, because this new CD, Voyage Of The Damned, is a boring voyage to be on. Power, gothic and epical metal are present but without the essential bite and flavor that could be expected from a band with an experience that Iron Fate has. Realm Of Madness shows that Martin Steene has a strong metal voice which is the bearing quality of the band, besides a good and strong drumming leading this song to the top. Verge To Collide is also in the better section of metal songs, melodic and with good content. Then the lesser songs fills the rest of the album, Slaughter Of Souls has pop rock potential, melodic but boring. And the disaster comes with Dreams Of The Dead Moon, this song has a chorus called 'slaughter of souls', but what kind of idea is that, when you already have a song called Slaughter Of Souls. OK, another song on the CD is called Leviathan, and here we finally get some metal with good rhythms and music that they can be proud of. Unfortunately there is too little of the good stuff on this album. |
Metalmorphosized
(Napalm Records - 2010)

Denmark's Iron Fire have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years with things going downhill rapidly after the release of the excellent debut Thunderstorm. Several radical line-up changes later, in which singer Martin Steene is the only original member, Iron Fire are back to where they should be; leading the charge for power metal! Following on from 2009's awesome To the Grave, Metalmorphosized marks the tenth anniversary of Iron Fire and is the band's sixth full-length album. |

A very special album to remind the fans of Danish power metallers Iron Fire that they have been around for 10 years now. Iron Fire's founder, vocalist Martin Steene is the leader of the band, he writes the music. But since it has come to the sixth album, he goes back in time and pick up some of the songs from those 10 years, songs that was never released on CD until now. Steene got the idea to include former members of the band and let them feature on the various songs. So Martin Steene sums up their 10 year career with help from his friends. It gives a good description of what Iron Fire is all about, heavy metal in the pure traditional way. |
On The Edge
(Sanctuary - 2001)
|
The Danish quintet presented themselves with their debut Thunderstorm in spring 2000, now they are back! Singer Martin Steene had to find two new members... Now the spots been filled with guitarist Martin Slott and drummer Morten Plenge. But about a year later the second album called On The Edge is in the stores! |

Not many bands came from Denmark in the past, now the youngsters come to conquer the world with their melodic power metal. Thunderstorm is the debut which is produced by Tommy Hansen who is known by his work with Helloween and Pretty Maids. When you listen to Thunderstorm it's unbelievable that drummer Gunnar Olsen (age 20) is the oldest band member! It seems that they had melodic metal instead of mother's milk. In the beginning they played different kinds of metal, but when they decided to concentrate their influences, on melodic power metal they also renamed into Iron Fire. Singer Martin Steene, just 19 years old, wrotes most of the music and the lyrics. |
