City of Fire's debut album was released on the band's website, www.cityoffire.com, on Saturday August 15th, with a full-scale release to be announced shortly.
Although they are relatively young as a band, City of Fire has plenty of musical experience; Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) on vocals, and Byron Stroud (Zimmer's Hole, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad) on bass, with Ian White, vocals/guitar, Terry "Sho" Murray (Shocore), guitar, and Bob Wagner (Shocore, Econoline Crush), drums, rounding out the lineup. The band's self-titled debut was recorded over a two-month period in the band's hometown of Vancouver, at the Factory Studios and Profile Sound.
City of Fire finds its roots in everything from Metal, to Hard Rock, to Punk, but most of all, the mountain lined countryside, and everyday life, in one of the West Coast's most beautiful cities, Vancouver.
Sonically hard, yet groove heavy, City of Fire has conceived a sound that distinguishes itself from the rest. The 11-song debut was produced by Terry "Sho" Murray and City of Fire, and features a special vocal appearance by Chris "Lord Heathen" Valago of Zimmer's Hole. City of Fire's own vocalist, Burton C. Bell, showcases his vocal versatility on the record, with tracks ranging from the riff heavy "Gravity", to the acoustic "Emerald", to the crossover single "Rising".
