Back On Fire

Description

High Roller Records present a remastered reissue with new artwork and, for the first time, a vinyl edition to mark the 10th anniversary of Frank Blackfire's first solo album "Back on Fire". To call Frank Blackfire a living legend is no exaggeration. His groundbreaking guitar playing with early Sodom and Kreator was instrumental in the development of the German thrash metal sound. While living in Brazil after the millennium, he founded the band Mystic and recorded two demos with them, which laid the foundation for a full album that was, however, a long time coming. "It was a lot of hard work before we released it," says Blackfire looking back, while he is actually working on a second solo album. The ten tracks on "Back on Fire" - including a thrashy interpretation of Henry Mancini's 'Peter Gunn' theme tune as an intro and a guest appearance by Sodom frontman Tom Angelripper - are characterized by Frank's signature guitar and raspy voice. With its several killer riffs in standout tracks like 'Victims of Society', 'Warmonger' and 'Valley of Suiciders', the record remains a timeless but forgotten thrash gem worth (re)discovering.1.
