FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Age of Fire Unleashes From the Forge Vinyl Edition for National Record Store Day – April 18, 2026

Charlottesville, VA – Heavy metal outfit Age of Fire is set to bring the heat once again with the vinyl release of their acclaimed album From the Forge , arriving April 18, 2026, in celebration of National Record Store Day.

Originally released in Fall 2024 to strong reviews across the metal underground and beyond, From the Forge delivers a relentless blend of classic heavy metal grit with a thrash and progressive edge. Now, fans and collectors alike can experience the album the way it was meant to be heard, pressed on vinyl and forged for the true believers of the genre.

Forged in 1988, Age of Fire carved out their own path in heavy metal with a sound rooted in intensity, atmosphere, and storytelling. Drawing inspiration from cataclysmic events, the darker corners of humanity, and the unknown, the band channels a sonic identity that hits somewhere between old-school aggression and progressive depth. After disbanding in 1991, the fire was reignited in 2018 by founding member Greg Brown, bringing new life to the project alongside Rick “Dynamic” Brown on bass and Bill “Rad” Morris on drums.

Since their return, Age of Fire has made serious noise, earning airplay across traditional radio, Roku TV platforms, and satellite stations worldwide. Their reach has extended into international media, with features in publications spanning the U.S., U.K., Europe, and beyond.

The band has also proven their power on stage, including a standout performance at the legendary Whisky a Go-Go on December 6, 2023, supporting Burning Witches on their world tour. Looking ahead, Age of Fire is set to open for Kings of Thrash on May 9, 2026, in Maryland, continuing their march forward with no signs of slowing down.

“The vinyl release of the band’s acclaimed album From the Forge drops for National Record Store Day, bringing the full experience to collectors and metal fans the way it was meant to be heard.”

With endorsements from Solar Guitars, Eastwood Guitars, Scorpion Drumsticks, In Tune Guitar Picks, and Dirtbag Clothing, Age of Fire stands as a band that respects the roots while pushing forward with purpose.
