Fireflight

Now
Provident Label Group LLC

“Now” is the fifth full-length studio release from Christian hard-rock band Fireflight. Released March 6, “Now” continues the hard-hitting rock style of previous albums, albeit a little more glossy and processed than the band’s earlier efforts. 

As always, strong vocals from front woman Dawn Michele gives a clean edge to the roaring grunge sound of the band. Guitar work is exceptional, although a little over-processed for me. Drummers, especially you hard rockers, will love the record.

“Stay Close” combines searing vocals and furious guitar work into perhaps the best song on the record. The title cut is a driving rocker prodding us to be our best.

No doubt longtime Fireflight fans will find issues with the over-processed new sound. Still, this is a good record all wrapped up into a driving, well-performed package.
