The Safety Fire are a band who formed back in 2006
and they are well known for their explosive live
show where they show off the best of metal and hardcore
music with various different soundscapes added to
the mix for good measures, the band have been named
as ones to watch in 2010 from various different
publications and they are starting 2010 on a high
with the release of their new EP ‘Sections’.
‘Sections’, is quite a progressive
EP which you need to listen to a few times to
get into and start to appreciate, and I say this
because when you first put it on after the first
couple of minutes you will be tempted to hit the
eject button as it does seem to drag but if you
just let it run you will start to appreciate the
complex arrangements and hectic sounds.
The open track ‘Sections’ starts
off with a mad instrumental piece which packs
an almighty punch and then suddenly things go
softer, but the softness doesn’t last for
long as brutal and raw sounding vocals come in,
the song takes you on a rollercoaster ride where
one moment things are quite soft and then the
next everything is so heavy on your ears, it’s
a lot take it at first but after the third or
fourth listen you should be loving it.
All the songs on the EP take the same formula
apart from ‘Sululary’ which happens
to be a short instrumental track which features
echoing guitar sounds which comes across so soft
that it verges on being depressing.
The best track on the EP is ‘Spoilage’
because it is such a long paced epic track which
reminds me of Tool from the massive drum beats
to the fast guitar riffs right down to the vocals,
the song sounds like it’s dying to be played
in front of a big crowd.
Overall The Safety Fire are made up of great
musicians who have each mastered their instruments
in a way that they have put together everything
they know to create such a big progressive sound.
3.5/5
