Wormholedeath proudly announces the signing of FireFlame, a five-piece heavy metal band from Japan. The label will release their debut full-length album, Force Against The End, a 15-track record built around twin-lead guitar work and a sound the band describes as “Modern Heavy Metal.”

Hailing from Osaka, FireFlame arrive with a powerful debut full-length built around razor-sharp twin guitars, massive hooks, and relentless energy. Force Against The End features 15 tracks that blend classic heavy metal foundations with the aggression and intensity of modern metalcore, while staying rooted in the band’s core philosophy of “Inner Fire” — the determination to keep moving forward no matter the odds.
The album marks FireFlame’s worldwide debut through Wormholedeath and introduces a band determined to push Japanese metal onto the international stage.

ABOUT FIREFLAME

FireFlame’s story began in a university music circle, where guitarists FireRay and Fire. J first connected through a shared passion for heavy music. As the project evolved, bassist Connie Flames and vocalist Mr. Big Fire joined the fold, before drummer Show .G. Flame — a childhood friend of FireRay — completed the line-up in 2022.

Since then, the band has focused on developing what they describe as Modern Heavy Metal: a sound that respects traditional metal while staying open to heavier, more contemporary influences. The dual-guitar work of FireRay and Fire.J sits at the heart of the band, creating a balance between technical precision, melody, and impact.

Outside of recording and performing, FireFlame are also actively involved in supporting their local scene. Together with fellow Osaka artists kitsunevi, they helped launch NWOJHM (New Wave of Japanese Heavy Metal) — an initiative created to reconnect and energise one of Japan’s historic metal communities.

With Force Against The End, FireFlame are introducing themselves to a global audience — and they arrive with something to prove. The album will be available on digital platforms on July 31, 2026.
