New album “The Last Wolf” out on June 23rd!
RAGE AND FIRE was formed in Lisbon, Portugal, during 2021 by Mário Figueira (guitars) and Rick (bass and vocals) who played together in RAVENSIRE until the band broke up in 2020. By mid-2021, they had made a home recording of three songs and they released these as a demo-tape adding, for good measure, their cover of “I Wanna Be Somebody” by W.A.S.P. That was named “Demo 1986+35” because of the regrettable historical lateness of its actual creation, and it sold out very quickly.
RAGE AND FIRE caught the attention of the underground metal scene and recordings started for the debut full-length under the title, “The Last Wolf”. The album was recorded in RAF Studios (vocals recorded in Rock ‘n’ Raw Studios), mixed by Vasco Machado and mastered by Paulao Vieira. The cover art is created by Victor Costa.
The lyrics of “Black Wind” are inspired by the novel “The Hour of the Dragon” by Robert E. Howard, and the lyrics of “The Last Wolf” are directly adapted from the poem “Un lobo” by Jorge Luis Borges.
Recommended for fans of Ironsword, Ravensire, Manilla Road, Hyborian Steel, Tales Of Medusa, even Running WIld, the debut album of RAGE AND FIRE is full of frantic riffs, and a true barbaric spirit.
