AGE OF FIRE IGNITES WITH THRASH/POWER METAL ANTHEM “RACE AGAINST THE SETTING SUN” — OUT SEPTEMBER 19, 2025

FFO: Nightwish, Burning Witches, Megadeth
Genre: Thrash/Power Metal

Charlottesville, VA – Veteran heavy metal force Age of Fire storms back with their brand-new single “Race Against the Setting Sun” , dropping September 19, 2025. Independently released and recorded, mixed, and mastered at Red Amp Studios , this track channels the band’s fiery thrash roots while infusing the soaring power and melodic edge that has become their trademark.

Founded in 1988 , Age of Fire quickly carved out their place in the East Coast metal underground before disbanding in 1991. In 2018, guitarist and founding member Greg Brown reignited the flame, joined by Rick “Dynamic” Brown on bass and Bill Rad Morris on drums. Since their rebirth, the band has been relentless—touring across the U.S., sharing stages with international acts, and gaining recognition in outlets such as Metal Hammer (Portugal) , Fireworks (UK) , Dead Rhetoric (USA/Sweden) , and Permafrost (Norway) .

With past releases like “From the Forge” (2024) and the live opus “Live from the Tempest” (2023), Age of Fire has proven their ability to balance technical precision with raw, unrelenting intensity. Their latest single “Race Against the Setting Sun” takes that mission further—an epic, riff-driven call to arms that barrels forward with galloping rhythms, searing solos, and a sense of urgency that mirrors its title.

“Race Against the Setting Sun” will appeal to fans of Nightwish, Burning Witches, and Megadeth , delivering a heavy yet melodic punch that captures both the spirit of old-school thrash and the majesty of modern power metal.

Having recently performed at the legendary Whisky a Go-Go in Los Angeles, supporting Burning Witches, Age of Fire continues to cement their standing as a live force. Their endorsements from Solar Guitars, Scorpion Drumsticks, In Tune Guitar Picks, and Dirtbag Clothing are further testament to their impact and staying power.

“Race Against the Setting Sun” drops September 19, 2025, on all major streaming platforms. Don’t miss this next chapter in Age of Fire’s relentless saga.
