Nowy mini Flame w sierpniu

Today, Primitive Reaction sets August 21st as the international release date for a brand-new (and long-overdue) mini-album from Finland's Flame, Ignis Spiritus, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Formed back in that fateful year of 1998 in Tampere Rock City by erstwhile members of Barathrum and Urn, Finland's Flame soon took on a (fiery) life of its own. A couple demos burst forth from the void before a split with the cult Devil Lee Rot in 2001; another demo came in 2004, followed the next year by a split with Australia's late/great Ghastly. But it was Flame's debut album, Into the Age of Fire, where the band's iron-fisted glory was fully revealed. Here, the band summoned forth triumphant epics of gnarliness that were equal parts ancient blackthrash and just-as-ancient bestial metal, all at a time when both idioms were far less fashionable than they are now. It would take six long years before another full-length torch was revealed, but Flame's second album, aptly titled March Into Firelands, proved that the Finns' unholy conflagration was as potent as ever: dynamic yet immediately headbanging, rooted in the old ways yet never recreating anyone's past glories...but then, silence once again.

Begin burning with the aforementioned brand-new track "Firespirit of Rebellion" HERE at Primitive Reaction's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
