For a band that’s only been together since 2021, Leipzig, Germany’s trad metalers Firmament have the majestic, old school ’80s metal/hard rock dialed in on their second full-length For Centuries Alive. This confident quintet—Stefan Deutsch (bass), Jonas Zeidler (drums), Tom Michalik (guitars), Philipp Meyer (guitars), Marco Herrmann (vocals)—are propelled by a vocalist with a sturdy and versatile set of pipes (part Dickinson, part Halford) who’s the perfect compliment to the dueling harmonies of Michalik and Meyer. The sound is classic, but the songs are timeless. For Centuries Alive has all the meat of ’80s metal without the cheese.
For Centuries Alive is set for release on vinyl, CD and digitally on September 19 via Dying Victims Productions. Place your preorder here (Dying Victims website) or here (Bandcamp).
The band described its latest effort thusly:
“We present For Centuries Alive, an album moving between vastness and power, stillness and anthem. Rooted in the raw spirit of the ’70s and ’80s and infused with cinematic, dramatic touches across diverse genres, it unfolds a soundscape full of imagination, atmosphere, and timeless stories – from the deepest longing to grand gestures. Still direct and gripping, yet expansive. Long story short: a home for adventurers.”
