In the bands own words:
“44 FIRES was founded in 2011 and is a
political Metal group from London, waking minds through our music. Bringing
groups together to form an army, bringing the elite to their knees... We are
spawned from the different styles of music we all grew up listening to, from
Corrosion of Conformity to Soundgarden, Megadeth and Metallica to Rage against
the Machine, Pantera and Clutch. This has made us into the band we are today, so
come join us - fight for the world.....”
Army besides Me
Hard hitting
words from 44 Fires that sting vehemently
amid some harsh exceptional waves of rhythmic glory. Richly inspiring and a
wake-up call as you take in the words. The bands deepest intentions are to
alert you to what is happening all around us and putting it in an exceptional
form of metal everyone can understand.
Freedom
Not as harsh as
the previous track but offering a beautiful chord ensemble that quickly changes
with a savage but clean vocal and screams Freedom! Interesting guitar that
compliments the solid drumming and enriches the track with a certain fortitude.
Idiot
Great rhythmic
onslaught played with fiery passion and truly ravenous gets the word out! Quite
an intense track that spits out a lot of anger without going overboard,
dispersing varied and intrinsic moments along the way. A very confrontational
track that has a lot of catchy connotations attached.
Corporate Lies
With a chug
like effect, this awakens the senses and has a chorus that will have you
singing along to its rhythmic display of anger which should in turn entice the
listener to investigate further. The guitar is a masterpiece that has a superb magnetic
pull.
The fiery and fierce 44 Fires!
Wake
Busying strings
throw out some heavy riffs merging with energetic rhythms and a harsh drum
beat. Vocally superb - Reborn and Release
wake, wake, wake yeah! This is catchy and a bold declaration that begs attention. Great track!!!
Propaganda
Superb metal
sound comes gushing from the speakers and will immediately grab the attention
as well as your thoughts. Crazy rhythms just weave into a solid wall of sound
and exceeds the sound barrier with a toxic venomous, subsonic excellence that
satisfies the metal hunger. Very intimidating track!
Hate Me
Swaggers with
compelling riffs and raucous beats, holding a swathe of utter contempt as it
ploughs like an express train straight through the aural. Vocally damming with
a meaty bass hook and slabs of molten metal riffs that is truly inspiring.
Death Trap
A very diverse
track that is very different to all the previous tracks with its sparse
opening, however it literally splinters further on and explodes with a
corrosive flexibility. Steeped in musical promise it delivers on all levels and
caught me out as I thought this track was going to be a slow number – very clever
guys – you got me there!
Loaded Trigger
Not going to be
fooled this time, this track starts off with a sparse vocal and crisp guitars
that hold a nice swaggering groove it does build further on in the track moving
it up a notch in tempo with a pounding drum beat but I feel this is the weakest
of all the tracks on this album – so fooled yet again!
To sum up:
Powerfully
fiery and downright venomous on a lot of the earlier tracks with just one low
being Loaded Trigger, however, its
highs – (and there is a lot of them on this album) simply outweigh the low
giving 44 Fires that stick of
dynamite to put across some explosive and intensifying action that spark an
overall enjoyable listen that is overwhelming in places i.e. Wake and
Propaganda two finely a tuned tracks that will no doubt leave your ears
bleeding!
Perhaps a few
of these tracks should be played at the next Party Political Broadcast on
behalf of the Conservative Party – it may make it a lot more interesting than
the droning dirge of hot air spouted by the “I don’t have a clue!” brigade.
Really good
album that warrants at least 6 replays and a few more for good measure!
