Saffire Taming The Hurricane

.Saffire was born in Gothenburg in 2005, the idea was to create a band based on old school melodic hard rock and heavy metal but giving it a modern touch. In 2013 came the debut album "From Ashes To Fire",Rocknytt.net, one of Sweden's biggest rock websites, put the album on their top 10 list of the best albums of 2013.Two more albums; "For The Greater Good" (2015) and "Where The Monsters Dwell" (2018) were released, "Where The Monsters Dwell" received a place in Sweden Rock Magazine's annual Top 20 Albums of the Year list. Tobias Jansson and Victor Olsson were selected for the great Swedish AOR project Gathering Of Kings in 2018, which is how they met Efraim Larsson. The new album marks a break with the entrance of Efraim Larsson, a groovy powerhouse of a drummer, with even more raw power than before. His sound and style heavily influenced this album and the focus was on just that, raw power. Saffire are inspired by rock and metal bands of the 70s and 80s like Rainbow, Dio, Whitesnake, Van Halen and Black Sabbath. The sound can be described as a mixture of these bands with a progressive twist. Saffire manages midtempo and hard-hitting melodic hard/heavy rock to keep the Swedish heritage of great rock bands alive.
