United Kingdom-based independent power metal project James Legendforge has opened the gates to a new world of cinematic storytelling with the release of debut single “The Witchfinder’s Flame,” the first chapter in an ambitious multi-release campaign leading toward the upcoming debut album The Witchfinder’s Flame , arriving September 20, 2026.

Blending symphonic power metal, melodic hard rock, dark fantasy themes, and dramatic orchestration, James Legendforge creates an immersive sound built around epic melodies, anthemic choruses, and stories of myth, conflict, transformation, and inner struggle.

“The Witchfinder’s Flame” introduces listeners to a world of ancient fears, judgement, and defiance. Driven by soaring vocal melodies, powerful guitar work, theatrical arrangements, and a cinematic atmosphere, the track captures the feeling of a legendary tale brought to life through modern metal production.

“The Witchfinder’s Flame is the first spark of the James Legendforge world, a dark, cinematic power metal track about fear, judgement and defiance. It brings together my own lyrics and original vocal source recordings with AI-assisted production to create something that feels huge, cinematic, theatrical and completely true to the story I wanted to tell.”

— James Legendforge

The creative force behind the project, UK artist James Spreadbury, brings together original songwriting, human-created lyrics, and original vocal source recordings with AI-assisted production tools supporting arrangement, instrumentation, sound design, and studio effects. This unique approach allows James Legendforge to achieve the scale and atmosphere of a full production team while maintaining a personal and independent creative vision.

The debut single is only the beginning. The upcoming release campaign will continue with additional singles including “Alter Ego – The Beast Within” arriving August 2, 2026, and “The Grip of Insanity” arriving August 23, 2026, before the full 10-track debut album The Witchfinder’s Flame is unleashed on September 20, 2026.

Drawing inspiration from the worlds of fantasy, folklore, history, and personal reflection, James Legendforge delivers melodic metal for fans of Dionysus, Rhapsody, Avantasia, and listeners who crave powerful hooks, epic arrangements, and music that tells a story.

With “The Witchfinder’s Flame,” James Legendforge begins a journey where myth meets melody, and where the past, present, and imagination collide in a blazing new era of independent metal.
