THE SAFETY FIRE Down a Member, but a New Album is Coming

by Ryan Minic | Dec 22, 2014

This will be an interesting start to the New Year. The Safety Fire are now bass-less, but despite being down a guy, things are full swing for a new album in 2015.

The band revealed today that bassist Lori Peri parted ways with the group. He was an original member of the band, which started 12 years ago.

But on the bright side, a new album is expected out next year. The record will follow up their massive 2013 album Mouth Of Swords, which was supported by some huge tours, particularly a couple alongside Protest The Hero.

WOVENWAR Interview with Nick Hipa & Shane Blay

All things considered, it’s pretty crazy how Wovenwar started. Everybody knows the story of what happened with As I Lay Dying, but not many people know that the seeds of Wovenwar were actually planted over a decade ago deep in the heart of Texas, long before As...
