Formed in 1998, the Danish quintet Iron Fire has become an unwavering bastion of melodic, European power metal. Frequently enduring massive lineup changes, the band steadfastly keeps on creating hard and heavy metal anthems, in the tradition of Judas Priest, Helloween, and Hammerfall. The band also has a long-standing relationship with Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Jorn), who has produced the majority of their albums. The sole constant in every Iron Fire lineup, vocalist and primary songwriter Martin Steene, also pulls double duty as a member of the Mercyful Fate side-project Force of Evil.
