“Don’t be afraid — words can hurt more than fire burns.”
There are songs that sound heavy, and then there are songs that feel heavy. “FIRE” by Blade Of Thorns belongs to the second kind. It does not just hit your ears. It hits your chest. From the first riff, the 7-string guitar in drop A lands hard. The low end is thick and physical. It feels like pressure. The guitars grind, the drums drive forward, and there is no attempt to soften the blow. But just when you expect the track to stay aggressive, it pulls back. The sound opens up. The vocals become exposed and almost fragile. Those quieter moments matter. They make the heavy parts heavier.

The lyrics are direct and honest. “Walking on fire… pleasure and pain.” There is no hiding behind clever phrases. The message is clear. Pain can become addictive. Suffering can feel like proof that you are still alive. But the real wound in this song is not the flame. It is the words. “Don’t be afraid, words can hurt more than fire burns.” That line lingers. It feels personal. It feels lived. You can hear that this track came from a real place. It sounds like it was written in one sitting, in a moment when the emotion was too strong to ignore. There is anger here. There is strength too. By the end, the numbness described in the verses turns into something colder and more controlled. Not broken. Not defeated. Just changed. “FIRE” will appear on the upcoming album Afflicted. If this single is any sign, the album will not play it safe. Blade Of Thorns make music on their own terms. They blend progressive and industrial rock with gritty riffs, driving drums, and sudden melodic turns. The energy is raw. The mood is intense. The theme is clear: emotional wounds cut deeper than physical scars.
Produced by AMF PROJECT and mixed and mastered by UPTOWN STUDIOS, the track sounds sharp and powerful without losing its edge. Songwriting credits go to Agnieszka Forte for the lyrics and Moshe Forte for the music. Blade Of Thorns are not chasing trends. They are building something honest. “FIRE” proves they are not afraid to show both the armor and the skin underneath.
