"Lots of thrash bands do their best to sound retro, but Hell Fire manage to sound classic." -- Kerrang!
"Hell Fire rocks harder than Stonehenge with the fury of Motorhead!" -- CvltNation
"May very well be one of my favorite albums of 2019. It's pure, driving heavy metal that's written and played exceptionally well and will get stuck in your head basically all the time." -- Metal Injection
San Francisco quartet Hell Fire announce new tour dates today to perfectly close out an epic year of shows, with the band supporting thrash legends Death Angel throughout North America. The tour kicks off November 16th in Seattle. Please see all dates below.
Watch and share Hell Fire's classic old school style performance video for "On The Loose" via YouTube. Brooklyn Vegan recently shared Hell Fire's new album Mania in its entirety HERE. (Direct YouTube.) Kerrang Magazine previously launched title track HERE. And, CvltNation shared "Warpath" HERE.
Mania is the band's first proper album on RidingEasy Records, following the label's worldwide reissue of the band's self-released 2017 sophomore breakout Free Again, released on January 18th.
Formed in recent years in San Francisco, though it may seem more likely that they hatched fresh out of a time travel portal from the mid-80s Bay Area thrash scene, Hell Fire have the classic look and sound of modern metal's halcyon days. Hell Fire's sonic assault warmly condenses elements of influences like Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Exodus, Metallica, Riot, Virtue and Diamond Head into 10 tracks of headbanging MUYA anthems.
The free-wheelin' creativity and infectious vitality of the 80s Bay Area thrash scene is a moment forever locked in time, but its spirit lives on in the band's galloping guitar picks, soaring harmonies and blistering rhythms. Hell Fire's perfect hybrid of NWOBHM theatrics and American thrash attitude.
Mania is available on LP, CD and download, released on March 29th, 2019 via RidingEasy Records. The album is available to purchase HERE.
