Songwriter and vocalist/guitarist Tornado Bearstone on 'Fuel My Fire':
"During the rehearsals of “Fuel My Fire”, it quickly became obvious that this would be the first single from the upcoming album, as the band’s energy levels soared when they played it. The song combines classic rock and rumbling, modern alternative tunings. The message of the song is simple and known to all who have ever been in love - Come and light my heart or I'll forever be unhappy.
The chorus is brief and intense, but the song has more layers to discover. Caught up in longing, the narrator calls their beloved back, wondering if time apart has clouded their mind. Yet, despite the uncertainty, love's power prevails.
Fuel My Fire was born as a result of experimenting with alternative tunings. Written by Saku Kallinen, also known as Tornado Bearstone, the lyrics and especially the rhythm of the chorus surged like a mighty roar, demanding to be heard: C'MON FUEL MY FIREEEE!"
Fuel My Fire starts a new exciting journey on the bands path. During 2024 there will be two more single releases and the new line-up puts its full effort to release the second full length album in 2025.
Half of the songs are already recorded so everything looks good and the band can't wait to share the new music with its fans."
Tornado adds:
"We feel better than ever. Our songs and arrangements feel smooth and tight when we play and the band is really grooving. We are proud of what we've done before but now we are raising the bar for ourselves. Our debut album Midnight Waylay has some special magic about it and it will forever hold that position. But you live, you learn. That is why I feel safe to say we sound better than ever ".
Just recently Tornado Bearstone revealed the story behind the track:
"LET'S GET HEATED!
Sitting at home 'couch jamming' songwriter Tornado Bearstone was experimenting with an alternate tuned guitar. The main riff and especially the rhythm of the chorus kinda shouted out; 'C'MON, FUEL MY FIRE!'.
In a situation like this there was no other choice but to write a song around that phrase. After that first phrase the song pretty much wrote itself causing infectious rise of spirits when played for the first time at the band rehearsals."
Here's the chorus:
"C'mon, fuel my fire. Get yourself some rock'n roll!
C'mon, breathe desire. More, more, more..."
Tornado continues:
"The chorus sums it up and on a certain level tells the whole story in a few sentences. But the full narrative is a bit deeper. It seems like the teller has fallen in love and is inviting the loved one to join on a mission to heat things up.
Could it also be that there's been some time spent apart and that's causing a little bit of confusion in the tellers mind...? For better or worse we all do know what mental and/or physical Love can do. It heats you up. Period."
With a title like ’Fuel My Fire’ what can you expect from a Rock tune? In this case you'll get a tight and melodic firecracker for Rock and Metal enthusiasts. With a touch of Classic Rock mixed with a modern metallish sound of alternate tuned guitars this Hard Rock tune was the obvious choice to introduce the new line-up in it’s full power and blaze.
The cover art was sketched by vocalist Tornado Bearstone and created by his trusted graphic artist Vin Valentino. There was a lot of emotion put into that one single picture. And that is exactly what the band was looking for; a continuum of what’s been released before, now with even more power and emotion in it. New music and the cover art reflects the band's state of mind; a well self-esteemed group of musicians writing and performing music straight from the heart.
Inside the band the new members positive energy combined with old members' strong attitude makes everything feel solid, easy and flowing.
