City Of Fire: Bad Motivator – new video

 

 

Vancouver, Canada's CITY OF FIRE have released new video for ‘Bad Motivator’, a song taken from the group's forthcoming album, ‘Trial Through Fire’, scheduled for release in March/April 2012. The video was directed by Cody Calahan. Featuring vocalist Burton C. Bell (FEAR FACTORY, HATE FACE etc), bassist Byron Stroud (FEAR FACTORY, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD etc), guitarist and producer Terry “Sho” Murray, and drummer Bob Wagner, CITY OF FIRE recorded their second album at The Factory studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Formed to pay homage to the city from which the band originates, Vancouver, which is in turn known primarily for its rainy climate, the band's moniker apparently refers to the “creative, inner fire” of its residents:

“Fire, when burning, is in a state of turbulence, unrest, reliance and dependence. When extinguished, it becomes calm and unattached, freed from its own limitations. Fire can only occur when properly provoked, much like the creative mind. Creativity, like fire, can only burn with sustenance – that essential that keeps the fire burning,” [explains CITY OF FIRE]

‘Carve Your Name’ comes off CITY OF FIRE's debut self-titled album, released in 2009. The CD, along with the proper supplementary items, can be bought via the band's online store:
