Firestone

Firestone is a hidden gem of the H8000 scene. They played metal influenced Hardcore with a style all of their own. Firestone was a band that went through a lot of line-up changes, had several singers and released two LP records, one for Sober Mind and one for Genet Records but also a demo. The founder of the band Lennart went on to form Oathbreaker and also played in AmenRa.

Firestone aim for a new tomorrow

The musicians choose in this album for a more Heavy Metal approach. What's unusual for H8000 bands. As most of them play extremer Metal. Though together with the sound of the female vocals, not that unusual. Lyrics are well written and are still relevant. The ethical and moral side are strong.
