Last week saw the announcement of London-based progressive metallers The Safety Fire’s forthcoming sophomore album ‘Mouth of Swords’, and the band are excited to reveal the first track to be taken from said album. Entitled ‘Red Hatchet’, this is the first taste of new music since the band’s debut album ‘Grind The Ocean’ was released, and guitarist / producer Derya ‘Dez’ Nagle had this to say about the track: „We are so excited we can finally share some new music with everyone. We are all so incredibly proud of this album and feel Red Hatchet is a great introduction to „Mouth Of Swords”. Get hyped, stay ajeysie.”
