I just won the cd Wildfire - Summer Lightning on ebay. Anybody know anything about this band? I thought I read a review by somebody on this board. I want to say it was posted by iwarrior but I'm not sure. Any info about this band and album would be greatly appreciated. |

Congrats! You got into an e-Bay auction without hearing the band before? You have guts [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
They are NWOBHM, two albums, that's the second. I don't have more info, and I have never heard them, sorry. |

Sort of a NWOBHM supergroup - both albums are good, but the first one (Brute Force And Ignorance) is the better (and heavier) record. Did you get the old Masoleum Classix pressing or the new one with the "Jerusalem" bonus track and the liner notes?
BTW, here's a link for a mini-bio:

Yes,I wrote the review. Here it is...

My copy of Summer Lightning is the recent reissue with the bonus track "Jerusalem"(the same English standard that Bruce Dickinson recorded on The Chemical Wedding. Wildfire's is pretty much by-the-numbers). I have Brute Force and Ignorance also,but mine is the original Mausoleum reissue from '94. BF&I has some good songs on it("Violator" is worth the price alone),but SL was clearly a better record imo. Get both of them.
The current reissue of BF&L has no bonus cut. The bonus cut on SL was a non-lp single and was the band's last work to date. Both reissues have informative liner notes. |

Thanks iwarrior and horace! It sounds like I picked up a great album for a mere $8. It is the reissue with the Jerusalem bonus track. I eagerly await it. Now I just need to track Brute Force and Ignorance. Well that and 10 million other NWOBHM albums! |
