Barcelona-based traditional heavy metal band PYRE FORGE have released a new track, ‘Morrigan’, ahead of their debut full-length album, “Lighting the Pyre”. The track premiered on the website of German magazine Deaf Forever. The album is set for release on January 29, 2027, via Dying Victims Productions on CD and vinyl.

Formed in 2023, PYRE FORGE build their sound on the foundations of classic heavy metal, combining the spirit of the 1980s with a contemporary energy. The band have also been active on the Barcelona and wider Catalan live circuit, performing at venues and festivals including Youngblood Fest, La Grange Rock Club, La Deskomunal, Razzmatazz 3, and Sala Upload. Along the way, they have shared stages with bands such as REDSHARK, RAVE IN FIRE, SAVAGED, and EMISSARY.

“Lighting the Pyre” reflects the band's decision to make their full-length debut without first releasing any demos or singles. Citing Omen's “Battle Cry” and BROCAS HELM's “Into Battle” as reference points, Dying Victims Productions describes PYRE FORGE's music as a combination of classic heavy metal's epic sensibilities, strong melodies, and a more energetic approach. While the album draws on a tradition stretching from MANILLA ROAD to more recent torchbearers such as ETERNAL CHAMPION and VISIGOTH, the label also points to a distinctly European heavy metal character in the band's sound.
