Bonfire

Bonfire is a veteran German melodic hard rock/heavy metal group with a massive catalog and a devoted international fan base. With an assured, stadium-ready sound that falls somewhere between Scorpions and Whitesnake, Bonfire exploded with their 1986 debut album, Don't Touch That Light, and 1987 follow-up Fire Works, both considered genre classics. The band ceased operations in the early '90s but returned in the 2000s with renewed vigor and a seemingly endless appetite for performing. Since then, they have released a string of well-regarded studio efforts like Strike Ten (2001), The Räuber (2008), Fistful of Fire (2020), and Higher Ground (2025).
