Founded in spring
2005 by guitarist Jason Hager [formerly of Chimaira, Ferret Records], YEARS OF
FIRE launched a crusade to spread the fury and drive metal in a new direction.
Soon after the band’s inception, YEARS OF FIRE signed with Thorp Records and
were gaining momentum until the label filed for bankruptcy and left the band at
a standstill. Relentless in their cause, the band forged onward, playing shows
and looking for the right vehicle to push their record. Other opportunities
sprang forward ."Our goal is to make straight-up brutal music that kicks the metal scene in the ass," affirms Jason Hager. "And show everyone that metal isn’t about fashion... it’s about aggression and attitude." That mission statement, combined with inimitable will and dedication to adrenaline-racing, bone-rattling heavy music, is blasting YEARS OF FIRE into a new level of metal. With their forthcoming full-length release, YOF will storm the world with an innovative take on classic metal elements- fusing solid riffs, steady rhythms, and just enough melody to ease the pain before being thrust into merciless siege of searing riffs.
