Ioannis Valiakos This one has rested on my wishlist for far too long. Impossible to stop once you 've pressed play, the band is taking you down a rabbit hole with enchanting tunes while Peter Dolving sings to your ear his most haunting melodies to date. I 'll never understand why this album has not become massive but one of those 300 beautiful wax copies is already on its way to my collection. A true masterpiece in every way. Favorite track: Burn Your Halo.

Douglas Wallace LOVE IT! Up in my top 10 albums of 2017! Favorite track: Eyes Wide Open.

Nick Jensen "From Ashes" encapsulates stoner, desert rock, psych and intense fuzz in a perfectly balanced blend.
IAMFIRE displays creativity, ingenuity, diversity and musicianship at its absolute finest.
I could draw parallels, and comparisons - but that would be unfair to IAMFIRE. They have earned their own little spot on the shelf. Favorite track: Eyes Wide Open.

    Test print vinyl (before the first EDITION). Long long time ago, in the same Galaxy that made CD´s, record-companies used to make ”TESTPRINTS!”. Hell, now you too, can own your own. That´s right ”TEST PRINT”. It´s really pretty unique. It´s the first ones they make. And there are only 3 of these. Neat huh?)

MAGPIES & CROWS Clean Cold Calculated Structured Assimiliate Adaption Capacity What's your your number? Get back in line... Inside Inside Could you get any closer than what you already are? Could it possibly get any clearer? Monkey-boy with no hope. I was wrong all along about people like you Your spirit and confidence all infused... Think you'll never pay for the things you choose. Magpies and crows Do rights and don'ts You'd give yourself gladly to demons Give all your power away Give it all up for a lie And you do again Again and again over and over and over And over again You've been caught cheating Manipulation and deceit Utilize the drama Better pray that no-one catches on Come down slowly Move with care Don't be stupid Magpies and crows Do rights and don'ts You'd give yourself gladly to demons You happily give it away You love it so they violate you Now that you've got someone to blame The tranquil submission of will The soulless rejection to feel You don´t know if it´s even real. Where´s your communication?
2.
DID YOU FIND YOUR NAME? Did you call all you know? Did you cancel the paper? Did you dry and wipe, for prints and smudges? No traces, no room for remarks. You bled yourself, as if by chance. Most goodbyes are just excuses for not coming back. Trust in me. You might as well. It´s all we´ve got. Reinvent the wheel. Find yourself a new voice. What will you do? Is your heart even in it? Castaway. Let this be a lesson for the lost sheep. Lucifer, did you find what you had in mind? Did your sweetheart still your desire? How did you get yourself past the fall? Don´t you ever get sick of it? Through the fire to rest in peace Find acceptance within the grief Scarred Broken Are you willing you stand up and breathe it out? Are you ready to wash it off once again? Indifference? Find a way to break out of it.

BURN YOUR HALO RED You´re already there You´re already waiting Ready to roll and reel in Someone´s been telling stories Someone´s been busy Someone´s been playing with fire. Sun might burn your halo red You won´t likely feel regret Time heals nothing No-one really cares for the dead. "Well down here it´s so fine…" What´s your problem man? Can´t get close enough Close enough to love. So this is how they´ll find you Don´t look so surprised You´re not the only one with secrets Yeah, how´s that working for you? Did you get that twisted right? Did you fill your ego to the brim? Sun might burn your halo red You won´t likely feel regret Time heals nothing No-one really cares for the dead. Say, would you like to come inside Cause it gets cold outside. Hey, you are not alone.

EYES WIDE OPEN Laugh into the void Stare into the eyes of all-knowing indifference. To recognize the sun not for what you wanted and understand the true meaning of ”Insignificant”. And sister, "Insufficient" resides in blind ambition. Aim your gaze up high, rest your pillars low. Seven suns will burn. A nudge towards a new direction. An entertaining moment by the well. A lifetime spent in different clay. Think you'll fit it all into a comfortable and convenient shape? This package don't care much for games and make-believe. One by one.(Erase) Pick em from the same tree they all hang from safely. (Erase) Peel from them the thin veil of protection. (Erase) In which they've come to trust. (Erase) Open up, expose the flesh inside. (Erase) Succulent and juicy, pink and soft. (Erase) Wait until they're ripe and ready. (Erase) Seven suns will burn. A lifetime worth of dreams gone in a flash. A friendship signed in blood turns into ash. Nothing is sacred. Slow Love moves. Eyes wide open.

FOR WHAT IT´S WORTH I swear there's something they're hiding I swear they're holding back People should know, there are places you don't go You'll end up paying a high price alright? Who's got something to die for? Who's got something real? Who's got something real? Who's got anything? Paranoid and insincere In such a hurry to go somewhere Can't relax until you got what you came for You will find, you were right on all counts the first time. Every time they'll reveal who they really are You just have to listen Look for the signs It's all make-believe. Cold morning. It will all be revealed in time A reckoning dawn The pale light of day. Just me and you. Just you and me. Hey man, there's nowhere to run to now. You know that you're going to pay What a beautiful thing. For all it's worth. I've come alive at last. I finally feel alive.

Beamer 05:07
BEAMER You´re not making sense, right now. Seems you´re holding on. Tight. Right now. Oh what are you so afraid of? No-one´s going to hurt you, like you. No-one´s going to do to you What you do. You´re just waiting for someone to prove that everyone´s the same. Nothing´s gonna change. So tell me who´s to blame? If you set it up to fail, then what did you expect in the end? Like you do. Like you do. You sell yourself for true conviction Sell yourself to get inside You sell a self-serving impression to justify your self-denying kind. Nasty little parasite. Secretive carnivore. To suck away the light. Oh what are you so afraid of? So afraid of? There´s so much more There´s so much more There´s so much more There´s so much more No-one´s going to do to you What you do. No-one´s going to hurt you like you do.

My Mistake 06:44
MY MISTAKE Youthfully obsessive, cultivating my own premature demise and fall from grace. I´ve become a picture-perfect model of the things I thought you wanted from me. Every single time I chiseled myself, closer to the image of how I believed you´d love me. Please make this quick and painless. I´m sick of trading time for knowledge. Been there, done that. Where´s the satisfaction you´re all talking about? I carved, bitterness, confusion and grief; Into the very image I led you to believe. If this was my mistake; My mistake, was my mistake. If this was my mistake, my mistake, was my mistake then we are all guilty. Get up and stand up, your sense of elevated average does not exclude you what you do this is not over until you´re ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes and you walk the sands. One foot in front of the other. If this was my mistake; My mistake, was my mistake. If this was my mistake, my mistake, was my mistake then we are all guilty. Don´t you think we´ve dug too many holes? Dead and buried heroes. Strangers faces hiding in the dark. No one wants to see. If this was my mistake; My mistake, was my mistake. If this was my mistake, my mistake, was my mistake then we are all guilty.

Inside 06:29
INSIDE Been to the valley Been to the sea You been singing rivers soft and treacherous replies. Is there anything left? Is there anyone there? Come bearing gifts or don't come at all. Oh, with sharpened knives they come in congregation The brethren of the foul and fallen to let this be bestowed on you. Fire away. Betrayal - (Well the time has come.) Betrayal - (To pay the price.) Betrayal - (Perhaps you never thought we'd come around?) Inside. Inside. Out. Been to the valley Been to the sea You've been to the mountain You've seen what's beneath Love ( Stronger than all ) Love ( Stronger than all ) Feel it rising. Love ( Stronger than all ) Feel it rising. Love ( Stronger than all ) Feel it rising Inside. Inside. Out. Inside out. All the kings horses and all the kings men can't make this right. Now you're all lined up A new best friend. To reassure your alibis…
