THORNAFIRE signs with FDA Rekotz

FDA Rekotz  announced the addition of Chilean death squad THORNAFIRE. 

Offering a visceral and ruthless brand of extreme death metal in the vein of early Sepultura, Death and Massacre, THORNAFIRE has established themselves as force to reckoned with through their intense live show and a trio of well-received albums. The band's fourth full-length will be out in late 2013 on FDA Rekotz. Prepare yourselves for the coming onslaught of high-caliber death metal!

The band has issued a video statement discussing their deal with FDA Rekotz and the addition of drummer Nikko Pagani to the lineup. Check it out.

A video of the song "Malefactor Manifesto" off the band's 2012 release Eclipse Nox Coagula is now playing below.

THORNAFIRE started out in 1998 by the hand of Víctor Mac-Namara with the sole intention of playing Death Metal. A year later two songs were recorded for the Granded for all Sombernessdemo. With that tape and a savage live show the band started to achieve a strong name in the local scene. After a series of line-up changes, an MCD entitled Mortus Tenebrae Surrectus was released in 2001, which received many good reviews from the local and international metal media. With that THORNAFIRE became one of the most promising Chilean extreme metal acts. The recording saw worldwide distribution via the tried and true methods of tape-trading and word of mouth. THORNAFIRE began to gig and tour around Chile and into Bolivia and Argentina. In 2005, the band recorded their debut full-length, Exacerbated Gnostic Manifestation. The album stood out as a milestone in brutality and a masterpiece of hate. It also caught the attention of Incantation's John McEntee, who signed THORNAFIRE to his label, Ibex Moon Records. The spring of 2007 saw the re-release and worldwide distribution of the debut and, in 2009 the band released Vorex Deconstrucción on Ibex Moon Records. A European invasion soon followed which saw the band appear alongside the likes of Master, Incantation, Deranged and many others at the Obscene Extreme Festival. Since then, THORNAFIRE has shared stages with Slayer, Overkill, Dimmu Borgir, Motley Crue and several other notable acts. In 2012, bassist/vocalist Christian Argandoña joined the fold and Eclipse Nox Coagula was unleashed with critical acclaim and rabid reception from the band's growing legion of fans. With a deal with FDA Rekotz in place, THORNAFIRE's quest for global domination continues. Prepare yourselves.

THORNAFIRE To Open For SLAYER in Santiago

On June 2nd, 2011, Chilean death metallers THORNAFIRE have the distinct honor of warming up the stage for the almighty SLAYER when the trash titans bring their World Painted Blood Tour to South America. Understandably, the band is marking this occasion as a huge moment in their career as guitarist Victor Mac-Namara reflects in the following statement,  

"We are very happy as musicians and fans to be part in the scenario of a Slayer concert, and opening for them in our city.The truth is that I don´t have many words to talk about it, I can only say that we will unleash our fury and vibe on stage with our sharp axes and drums to evoke the somber cry of death. In short, we hope to leave the stage like shit, but leave at least the electrical system working for Slayer to finally crush this masochistic audience with their classic tyranny."

The announcement of this high-profile gig comes as the band is currently working hard on the anticipated follow up to 2009's Vorex Deconstrucción. In a previously released statement regarding the forthcoming album, Mac-Namara commented, "Currently we are writing music a little different than what we have done in the past. It's a variation, but still true to our underground Death Metal underground roots. I'm drawing concepts for the album artwork. We hope to have this released  by 2012."

In other THORNAFIRE news, the video for "Deconstruccion" can be viewed at this location. The clip was filmed, produced and edited by Daniel Duarte (a member of the fellow Chilean death metal act EXECRATOR) in a professional TV studio in Santiago.

"Deconstruccion" was previously described by THORNAFIRE bassist/vocalist Alexis Munoz as a "futuristic song inspired by the religious and social decline experienced in the current era Eon oh Hourus."

"Deconstruccion" comes off THORNAFIRE's second album, Vorex Deconstrucción, which came out in July 2009 via Ibex Moon Records and is currently available via the label's webstore.

THORNAFIRE's Vorex Deconstrucción was released in July of 2009 on Ibex Moon Records. The band's previous release, Exacerbated Gnostic Manifestation, is also available through Ibex Moon. 

The sophomore release for Ibex Moon Records is another step forward in a death metal style that is old school based with a muscular, modern production. Says guitarist Victor Mac-Namara, "The songs that we composed are not in the current way of endless blast beat songs. We do it the old way - memorable music with variety, twisted riffs, and a lot of madness!"

On Vorex Deconstrucción THORNAFIRE has captured the true spirit of a Southern American death metal style that worships at the altar of the ancient ones and takes it cues from the likes Morbid Angel,Krisiun, (early) Sepultura, and Pentagram (Chile), while putting its own unique spin on the genre. The combination of Juan Pablo Donoso's batter and clatter drumming, Mac-Namara's giant array of monster riffs and bassist Alexis Munoz's David-Vincent-meets-Tom-G-Warrior vocals is nothing short of explosive. Combined with occasional synth accents, lyrics sung entirely in Spanish, and guest vocal spots from professional actress Maria Araya, the album establishes THORNAFIRE as one of South America's premier death metal acts.
