Skyfire  ‘Esoteric’

LABEL:                    Pivotal Rockordings

STYLE:                    Metal

RELEASE DATE:             Sept 18th  2009

FORMAT:                   Cd & Download

CAT NO:                   PR005

Esoteric is SKYFIRE’s first  full-length album in over five years. With this

offering we find a  revitalized band, which encompasses two new band members

as well as multiple  orchestra and choir samples, adding subtlety to the

bombastic overtones. Esoteric still maintains  the melodic sensibility that

SKYFIRE has been known for but with a  re-vamped and something-to-prove

attitude to boot. New members Joakim  Karlsson (vocals; MARK:BLACK) and

Johan Reinholdz (guitars; ANDROMEDA, NONEXIST) help the band  deliver its

strongest performance to date. Karlsson's mid-range growl helps  ground the

epic onslaught while Marty Friedman-inspired guitar solos from  Reinholdz

showcase yet again that SKYFIRE is not afraid to  journey into uncharted

territory.

 Longtime fans expecting SKYFIRE's unparalleled use of melody will love

hits such as "Under a Pitch Black Sky" and "Rise and  Decay," while those

who enjoyed SKYFIRE's folk and  neoclassical dabbling will immediately take

to cuts such as  "Seclusion" and "The Legacy of the Defeated." Conversely,

Esoteric  features one of SKYFIRE's most brutal and chaotic songs to date in

"Darkness Descending."  A treat for the fans, Esoteric also includes

“Within Reach,” a bonus song taken from the first ever SKYFIRE demo

recording  which has never surfaced until now.

 Esoteric's  epic visual artwork is designed by acclaimed artist Pär

Olofsson (EXODUS, THE FACELESS) and layout design  by CULT OF LUNA's  Erik

Olofsson.  All music was recorded at the band’s own Powernest  Studios while

mixing and mastering was handled by Jonas Kjellgren (SCAR  SYMMETRY,  SONIC

SYNDICATE,  ZONARIA,  THE ABSENCE).   Vocals for all tracks were produced by

THE FORSAKEN guitarist Patrik  Persson.

 Esoteric  is the face of a rejuvenated SKYFIRE—dead set on picking up from

where  they left off with 2004’s Spectral so get ready: SKYFIRE is reborn!
