- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Nations Afire, a four piece band from Southern California that features
current and former members of Ignite, Rise Against and Death By Stereo, have
recorded their debut album "The Ghosts We Will Become". It was recorded at the
legendary Blasting Room Studios in Fort Collins, Colorado. The same studio
that is responsible for many great albums from Rise Against, All, NOFX and
Propaghandi. Singer Nik Hill stated: "We were really excited to record this
album at the Blasting Room and work with guys who are responsible for so many
incredible albums". The songs are a genuine blend of rock, hardcore and punk
fusing all three elements together to create a powerful album. Standout tracks
from the album are the title track "The Ghosts We Will Become", "I Am An
Army", "Nine Lives" and the acoustic number "Even The Blackest Heart Still
Beats". Nations Afire has taken the experience and hard work ethic that helped
make their previous bands staples in the punk/hardcore community and combined
that with intense, energetic and melodic pieces of music to craft their own
identity. If you are not familiar with Nations Afire yet, you will soon get to
know the quartet that features Chris Chasse, former guitarist for Rise Against
(Siren Song of the Counter Culture '04 and The Sufferer & the Witness '06),
vocalist/guitarist Nik Hill and bassist Brett Rasmussen who are both long
standing members of the Orange County hardcore outfit Ignite and drummer Todd
Hennig was the percussive force behind Death By Stereo for three albums.
Bassist Brett Rasmussen explained "Most of us have known each other for quite
a few years and we were all really excited to put together a new band that
would be more than just a side project."
