Record arrives under Atomic Fire Records’ imprint on November 25
By Luiz Athayde
Induction have announced the successor to their self-titled debut album. Born From Fire is the name of the overflowing record with a release date of November 25 via Atomic Fire Records stamp, in digipack CD, double vinyl and digital formats.
The time frame has been short, but a lot has happened. The band led by guitarist Tim Hansen, son of none other than Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) has undergone a total overhaul and released its first appetizer, “Sacrifice”, showing little new in relation to the debut.
Now, they return with a new single including in sound. “Queen Of Light” follows a more direct, palatable and almost pop sound, in the best molds for live performances – including bringing unconscious with Sonata Arctica.
Following the release of Born From Fire, the group embarks on a nine-date European tour, beginning on November 24th in Pratteln, Czech Republic and, until further notice, closing in Hamburg, Germany, on December 7th.
Not too uncommonly, Induction joins the gallery of active bands that do not have even one member of the original lineup. Formed in the class of 2014 by Czech guitarist Martin Beck (also known as Beck ‘N’ Zee), already with the proposal of progressive-oriented power metal, the changes occur with the entry of Hansen in 2017.
Already 2019 is the year of their recording debut, generating excellent repercussion in the medium – more for their sound than for Tim’s last name -, also by promoting the album to exhaustion, including the music video for the track “Mirror Make Believe (My Enemy)”, with participation of Kai, also in occasional shows.
In the last year, Beck left the band and, with Tim dominating the field, now the line-up is stabilized with musicians from different parts of the world: British Craig Cairns (vocals), Argentinean Marcos Rodríguez (guitar) and the Germans Dominik Gusch (bass) and Dominik Zester (drums).
