Can someone tell the lady on the cover how to use headphones? Thank you very much. All joking apart, this “Thrill Me” is the second album from Fire, a melodic hard rock band from … Malta. I don’t know how good or bad their first album (2006’s “Ignite”) was, but this brand-new one is surely more than just a pleasant affair with straight ahead rockers in the vein of classic bands like FireHouse, Gotthard and Thunder to name but a few. Opener and title track “Thrill Me” immediately sets the tone for a little more than fifty minutes of listening pleasure. Backed by an intriguing video clip (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbyrL-4EPxA ), the band couldn’t have opened their second album with a better rock anthem. Other highlights include “Always There”, the sleazy DAD-like “Crazy Lovin’”, the bluesy ballad “No More Pain”, the guitar-driven “Lost Without You” and – last but not least – the closing 6-minute epic “Back Home” (no cover of Golden Earring’s hit of the same name).
Fire may come from a small country like Malta, they just ooze international class! Check them out now! (

In the same vein as Gotthard, Bonfire & The Poodles, Malta's Fire sound like they've been doin' this for a while..but alas....this is their debut. Great vocals, catchy, rockin' songs and some pretty tasty guitars make "Thrill Me" a pleasent surprise. The CD cover is pretty cool, too!

Very impressed by this album, and as Chris suggests, it is a surprise to discover that they hail from Malta. There's plenty for the AOR and MHR fans to sink their teeth into here, and "Thrill Me" goes into my Top 10 list of pleasant surprises of 2010.
