Two Fires – Burning Bright

Releasedate: 24-09-2010; Label: Frontiers Records
By: Sabine van Gameren

Melodic Rock formation Two Fires came with their debut in 2000. Anno 2010 their third full length studio album “Burning Bright” comes out.

Singer Kevin Chalfant is known from the band The Storm which had its highlights in the 90’s. He took his live band as a backup for this project staying with what is familiar. As the need for AOR is still alive we can be happy to have a singer like Kevin Chalfant to be there. Asked to come back by their label Frontiers Records, this was certainly a good thing to do considering the fact that “Burning Bright” is full of wonderful songs. Up tempo songs like “Lost In The Song” and also some ballads, it suits him all. The album turned out to be a good fitting concept, songs that match together and certainly belong together at an album. No black sheep in here. There is not much more to tell, Kevin Chalfant knows how to make a record! Having mentioned that he had written about 20 songs and there are only 11 on the album a hope for another release is set. Order, pre-order, play it out loud. You don’t want to miss it. Simply good.
