"Playing metal can be done in several fashions. Instead of choosing the easy way out, Bat on Fire focuses in on progression with harmonizing guitars and not-so average song structure." - Real Detroit Weekly magazine
"Kinda has a Mastodon vibe to it...not as dirty. Nothing really like this in [Detroit] right now." - Jay Hudson (88.7FM DJ)

BIO:
Pirates, Art, and The Pantheon of the Greek Gods!
From the recesses surrounding Metro Detroit emerges the haunting image of a Bat On Fire. Frantically flying a rapidly changing course toward a charred blistering death, this Bat knows no other fate than the glory of grandiose expiration. This is Detroit's "Bat On Fire" spiraling, engulfed in self destruction, toward a surface unseen through the smoke of its own flesh. Brothers Karlos and John, along with Axe-Men "Z" and "Tree", have composed heart wrenching tragedies following the lives of Emerging Pirates, Hallucinogenic Artists, and Mythological Greek Warriors to the beat of pulsating pop-prog metal. All of Bat On Fire's albums begin as short stories conceived from the bands founding members Karlos and John, and are then scored and accompanied by conventional metal soundtracks.
"Bat On Fire is Taking Over The World"
The Death Of Solomon Scarlett - [2007] follows the aforementioned young pirate hopeful, Solomon, from new recruit to mutinous leader. When an accidental explosion of the requisitioned ship "Queen Anne's Revenge" occurs, young Scarlett washes up on the shore of the Island Of Souls and must battle his own soul to the death!
The Raft Of The Medusa - [2008] is based on the infamous painting by 19th century artist Théodore Géricault. In this version however, upon the completion of the work, the oily canvas cracks into beams of light and Géricault falls into his masterpiece! Landing in the trailing red water he must swim to the raft in the distance and climb aboard, joining the perilous group of survivors in an effort to get home.
Escape From Hades - [2009] is a modern allegory for faith and perseverance in Greek mythological form. Our un-named hero, must escape hell in an attempt to beg Zeus for forgiveness. Why, you ask? Our hero wishes to return to the land of mortals to rejoin his beloved wife. Along his adventure the fallen warrior is pitted against gods and temptation...he must defeat both.
