Firezone is a five piece crossover metal band from the South of the Netherlands, operating in the Maastricht/Heerlen area. The band consists of (ex-)members of Downshot (hardcore punk), Pikkatrillaz (hip-hop), Seven Ends / Contradefused (thrash/ death metal), Soundmaze (classic metal/ NWOBHM) and Out Of Reverse (metalcore) among others. Firezone explores the boundaries between thrash metal, hardcore punk, New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, rock and some hip-hop. Lyric wise, Firezone switches from questioning authority in sociopolitical themes, to exploring the ingeniously insane mind of billion-dollar moviestar Charlie Sheen, to debating a special troops commander, while shining a light on a dark period in history that most would rather forget about. Firezone first saw the light of day in 2010, teamed up with Dubai/Bangkok/Texas based producer Joren Scharn to record their debut EP 'Welcome to the Firezone' and was selected to headline Metal Asylum Fest 2011 in Dubai. Besides headlining Metal Asylum, Firezone has played several shows in different genres, opening up for acts like Knuckledust, Jacky Baggen, Peter Pan Speedrock and The Opposites, among others. Firezone is comfortable playing any type of stage. Whether in front of 7000+ spectators at Urpop 2012, or a sold out Solar 2013 gig for a 30.000+ crowd, or a small club show in front of 50 people, Firezone will play anytime, anywhere. With the new, self-produced Hell To Pay EP coming out soon, February 2014, the quest for global domination has only just begun.
