Out today: YELLFIRE - Dear Gods


Dear Gods, the new album by Yellfire, is out today on The Ghost Is Clear Records.

Stream the album, here: https://yellfire.bandcamp.com/album/dear-gods


Mixed by Matt Bayles (Minus the Bear, Mastodon) and mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Birds in Row), Dear Gods is a towering, thunderous piece of work that carries forth the spirit of the Pacific Northwest's greatest earth-shakers. Operating at the nexus of noise rock and hardcore, Yellfire's sound is the fusion of rain-soaked despair and snapped-wire urgency.

“Seattle-based, Botch-loving, post-metallic noise rockers.”
–Decibel

"Yellfire, from Seattle, Washington. The track was 'Into Fire." It's the urgent new single, it's the lead-off track from their upcoming The Ghost Is Clear Records debut... If 'Into Fire' is any indication, and I think it is, of the quality of music that Yellfire will lay before us with 'Dear Gods,' I think there's reason for optimism and excitement. Though that might not be the emotion the music brings, it's the one that I feel."

"S
eattle’s relentless rain and shadowy winters might seem bleak, but they’re the perfect backdrop for 'Dear Gods,' the debut full-length from Yellfire. This hardcore/noise-rock quartet channels the city’s storied legacy of cathartic heaviness—think early grunge meeting its angrier, sludgier descendants—into a record that crushes with weight yet demands repeat spins."
–Idioteq

"There’s a touch of early Mastodon... It’s an album that doesn’t lose any intensity at all, whilst avoiding any hint of repetition. Absolutely monstrous."
–Metal Epidemic

"Seattle-based post-hardcore crew Yellfire are just getting warmed up, with their debut album slated for release on November 15 via The Ghost Is Clear. But they’ve already surrounded themselves with plenty of good company, as evidenced by the impressive array of guest stars who appear on the LP, named 'Dear Gods.'"
–New Noise

"Rounding out the top slots is Yellfire with their brand of noise meets hardcore... In all seriousness this thing would give Today Is The Day a run for the money."
–Nine Circles

"With a crushing sound that evokes the doomsday-like crush of Today Is the Day and the ominous riff orgies of Deadguy, the Seattle band packs punch."
–No Echo

"Heavy, brash and noisy."
–Scene Point Blank
