Forthcoming Fire

In the early Nineties Forthcoming Fire made their step on the musical stage to enlighten their scene with some of the finest Gothic Rock and Dark Wave known to this date. Switching between calm piano-based songs and fast rhythm synth goth the music of Forthcoming Fire has always been a travel for their listeners and a heterogeneous experience that made singer Josef K. and his band stand out.

Being on tour/on stage with bands like Cassandra Complex, Secret Discovery, Love Like Blood, Marquee Moon, Das Ich, Ministry, Theatre Of Tragedy and Atrocity even the toughest metal heads fell in love with the band. At the same time the musical style of Forthcoming Fire opened up to new elements like the 'Neue Deutsche Härte' movement, especially with titles such as 'Der Unbesiegte Sonnengott' and 'Eure Kinder bringen Licht', which during this time was backed with the band @Weissglut (also featuring Josef K. and keyboardist Burn).

Their first EP 'Longing for Light' was released on the famous Hypnobeat/Hyperium label from Nürnberg, followed by the albums 'Ekhnaton' (1992) and 'Illumination?' (1993), among the tracks on these CDs where such legendary songs like 'Lovice', 'Raise Your Wings Like Fire', 'The Mask' and 'Feuer'.
