{"product_id":"ignis-spiritus","title":"Ignis Spiritus","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed back in that fateful year of 1998 in Tampere Rock City by erstwhile members of Barathrum and Urn, Finland's Flame soon took on a (fiery) life of its own. A couple demos burst forth from the void before a split with the cult Devil Lee Rot in 2001; another demo came in 2004, followed the next year by a split with Australia's late\/great Ghastly. But it was Flame's debut album, \u003ci\u003eInto the Age of Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, where the band's iron-fisted glory was fully revealed. Here, the band summoned forth triumphant epics of gnarliness that were equal parts ancient blackthrash and just-as-ancient bestial metal, all at a time when both idioms were far less fashionable than they are now. It would take six long years before another full-length torch was revealed, but Flame's second album, aptly titled March Into Firelands, proved that the Finns' unholy conflagration was as potent as ever: dynamic yet immediately headbanging, rooted in the old ways yet never recreating anyone's past glories...but then, silence once again. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primitive Reaction","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50526788223307,"sku":"1108223","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/99d903eb-bcc5-454e-93b4-5cd68e67d03d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728048243","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/ignis-spiritus","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
