BlackFireRising
A real rock three-piece from Brighton, BlackFireRising fuse together the grimiest parts of their very broad genre; from the hair-flailing 70’ s era of blood, sweat, tears and other, stickier fluids, to the ripped jeans and floppy hair of early 90’ s Seattle grunge.
Influenced by classic bands like
Nirvana, Audioslave and Foo Fighters, as well as modern heroes like Muse, System Of A Down and Biffy Clyro, they pull together a long history of music to create a fusion that echoes the best of the rock‘ n’ roll hall of fame.
BlackFireRising’ s lyrical style breathes light into
Chris Priest darkness and kicks at past acquaintances, missed chances and lost opportunities with, let’ s face it, pretty thinly veiled anger.
Carried by a sound that’ s seen them compared to Nirvana, Muse, Biffy Clyro and Faith No More, BlackFireRising will have belting their choruses
A singer / songwriter from Eastbourne with a voice so very manly it makes our editor’ s whiney tones stand out like a soprano in a crowd of tenors, Chris Priest is absolutely outstanding, and one of three support artists that’ ll be playing during changeovers at Extreme.
Influenced by Ben Howard, Knife Party, Porcupine Tree, James Black, Ed Sheeran and Rise Against, Priest is more than just a stereotypical or tired acoustic artist. WIth a broad range of sounds he’ s created a style that allows him to keep the attention of the audiences he lays before, bringing together robust and gritty vocals with sweet and beautiful melody.
