PYRE FORGE, a traditional and epic heavy metal band from Barcelona, will release their debut album, "Lighting The Pyre", on January 29, 2027 via Dying Victims Productions. The record is coming out internationally on CD and vinyl LP. Today the German magazine Deaf Forever premiered a new track from it, "Morrigan".
The band formed in 2023 and built its name on the Catalan live circuit rather than through releases: there were no demos or singles before this album. PYRE FORGE have since played venues and festivals such as Youngblood Fest, La Grange Rock Club, La Deskomunal, Razzmatazz 3 and Sala Upload, sharing stages with REDSHARK, RAVE IN FIRE, SAVAGED and EMISSARY.
The sound is rooted in '80s heavy metal, with big hooks and a dramatic, anthemic edge. Dying Victims points fans of OMEN's "Battle Cry" and BROCAS HELM's "Into Battle" in this direction, and says the album carries a more European feel than the usual MANILLA ROAD worship, placing it alongside newer names like ETERNAL CHAMPION and VISIGOTH. The label stresses this is not an exercise in nostalgia: the songs keep the energy of a young band and waste no time.
"Lighting The Pyre" tracklist:
- Through the Forests of Time
- The Chase
- Kingdom
- Morrigan
- The Night of Evil
- Drink My Blood
