In a traditional line-up with vocals, two guitars, bass and drums the quartet from South-Hesse plays "classic" heavy metal with pieces of True, Speed, Power and Melodic Metal. The press compared their style with bands like: Iced Earth, Grave Digger, Metallica, Iron Maiden and Manowar. You can hear and see that DRAGONSFIRE play their songs with a desire for quality and entertainment on many many gigs.
The band made it's name well known in more than just the rhein-main-area. You can read about them regularly in different print- and online-fanzines. DRAGONSFIRE knows no boundaries or frontiers.
A few of their own songs can be heard on their EP "burning for metal" (2005). But live the band play a lot more songs that invite you to bang your head with them.

Bandhistory
The 1st year:
The heavy metal band DRAGONSFIRE was founded on January 1st in the new year of 2005 by the singer and bass-player Torsten Thassilo Herbert, both guitarists Matthias Bludau and Thorsten Brand and the Drummer Jan Müller in the Rhein-Main-Area. The four musicians new eachother already, played together and developed the concept of the new formed band. In march 2005 the band decided to get a fifth member. Peter Kalabis took the frontman position.
In 2005 the band already entered the stages with more than 100 minutes playing-time and was able to play 15 gigs and to do several interviews. The concerts brought them quite positive resonance. Also at well-known locations like the Batschkapp, Frankfurt or the Goldene Krone, Darmstadt. So DRAGONSFIRE became more and more known at the Rhein-Main-Area.
From July to September 2005 DRAGONSFIRE entered the “Kohlekeller Studios” to record an EP with 27 minutes of total running time in a professional surrounding. The EP was called "BURNING FOR METAL" an gives you an overview over the musical bandwidth of the band. But: “BURNING FOR METAL” is more. It stands for musicians with heavy metal in their veins.
the 2nd year:
The beginning of the year 2006 was coined by the incoming reviews of our EP "BURNING FOR METAL". 20 reviews in different magazines gave us a very positive feedback concerning the CD. It also was reviewd in well known print magazines like the german "METAL HAMMER" and the "HEAVY"-Magazine.
In June 2006 the band seperated itself from their singer Peter. The vocals where now taken by Thassilo again.
2006 was the year the band went longer ways. DRAGONSFIRE left the Rhein-Main Area and played gigs for example in Switzerland or the Rhur-Area. A support show for Annihilator was planned, but did not take place, because the whole Annihilator tour was canceled.
the 3rd year:
2007 brought more great shows for the band. There where supports for Wizard, Dezperados and Rebellion.
From January to April the band had a female singer called Kathi Heßler. But after a few month the band decided to go on without her an with Thassilo as the voice of DRAGONSFIRE.
In the end of April Thorsten Brand decided to leave the band because of health problems. For him Timo Rauscher took over the position on the guitar and played his first gig eith DRAGONSFIRE after beeing in the band for one week!
