Jolly Roger Records announces the come-back of GUNFIRE with their new releae "Age of Supremacy"

Jolly Roger Records proudly announces the come-back of  italian GUNFIRE with their new concept-album "Age of Supremacy", out on 8th September on Cd format. The idea behind the album is the history of mankind that left the earth 1000 years ago and is now divided into two factions that  evolved in different ways. The story is not based on the fight between good and evil  but rather the inability of communication between two  peoples in the distant and hypothetical  future, as often happens today. This is the reason of war and destruction.

Gunfire were born in Ancona in 1983 and in 1984 they recorded their first, self-titled mini Lp (4 tracks), nowadays a pretty rare and expensive collectable item. They broke in 1986 and came back in 2000 with original line-up, except the drummer, adding a second guitar. "Thunder of War" was released in 2005 by German label Battle Cry. Drummer Marco Bianchella plays also in symphonic-gothic band The Dogma.
