PYRE FORGE’s new track ‘Morrigan’ premiered exclusively on Deaf Forever’s website on November 12, 2026. The song appears fourth on Lighting the Pyre, the band’s debut album, which Dying Victims Productions will release internationally on January 29, 2027, on CD and vinyl LP.
Formed in Barcelona in 2023, PYRE FORGE play traditional and epic heavy metal, combining classic heavy metal foundations with a contemporary approach. Their influences encompass both older acts and more recent bands.
The announcement presents Lighting the Pyre as the band’s first full-length statement, developed without preceding demos or singles. Its musical description emphasizes an ’80s heavy metal foundation, prominent hooks, dramatic arrangements and anthemic melody within an epic atmosphere. These are the announcement’s descriptions of the record, rather than a review.
The accompanying press text places Omen’s historical album Battle Cry and Brocas Helm’s Into Battle among its reference points. It also invokes Manilla Road, Eternal Champion and Visigoth, while describing a more European-minded character across PYRE FORGE’s album.
Alongside their songwriting, PYRE FORGE have built a presence on the Catalan live scene. Their past appearances include Youngblood Fest, La Grange Rock Club, La Deskomunal, Razzmatazz 3 and Sala Upload. They have shared bills with Redshark, Rave in Fire, Savaged and Emissary, among others.
The announcement supplies the album cover and the following eight-song tracklisting:
- Through the Forests of Time
- The Chase
- Kingdom
- Morrigan
- The Night of Evil
- Drink My Blood
- Intruder
- Burn in the Pyre
