GRACE AND FIRE
Big melodies and a big sound from rising English prog rockers.
“WE WANTED TIME signature changes, we wanted to take the listener on that journey that only prog really allows you to do,” says Grace And Fire vocalist André Saint. “But we wanted to always give them that chance to sing along to melody-driven choruses.”
The ethos of his band stems right back to their name; there’s the lofty earworms, but snarling back are the fiery prog rock and metal chops. The history of English quintet Grace And Fire can be traced to 2019, when the rest of the group were hand-picked by Saint and his writing buddy, guitarist Aaron Gidney. “It wasn’t going to be five guys that fell out of school together and tried to learn instruments and play together,” he explains. “We were looking for specific people for the band.”
