Square One Pink

Rave in Fire are an upcoming female-fronted traditional metal band formed in Madrid in 2015. Thier debut EP, Chronicle Of A Timeless End, was released in 2018. This was followed by their first full-length album, Sons Of A Lie, in 2022. Musically Rave in Fire have been inspired by veteran Spanish heavy metal bands Barón Rojo and Obús, but also newer homegrown acts like Witchtower, Leather Heart, Steelhorse or Hitten. The band's brand-new studio album, Square One, is fully self-produced. The recording, production, mastering, and most of the songwriting was done by guitarist Jonjo Negrete alongside the producer. Songs like "Dark Poison," "Knightwalker," or the high-energy "Speed And Rave" roughly sound like Leather Leone-fronted Chastain mixed with early 80s Scorpions and a bit of Dio thrown in for good measure, while the title track is the grand epic of the album, flirting with prog metal.
