Fire! Orchestra (N/S/BRA/ISL/P/I)
Fire! Orchestra is like a forever evolving organism. After 13 years and at least six different incarnations 2025 sees a new version of the band, playing WORDS. The music is all new, but some of the fundamentals stay the same: an ongoing groove, ever changing solos and small groupings and conduction by Mats Gustafsson.
"Rutal heaviness, furiously fast crack, intense groove, extreme dynamics, immense beauty. (…) in a concert with Fire Orchestra, everything can be found, not infrequently all in one and the same song. (…) It is, as always, incredibly impressive." (Rasmus Klockljung, Lira)
