WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SAFETY FIRE?

Recent InsideOut / Century Media signees The Safety Fire released a new song yesterday. Various blogs picked up this news and posted the song, which tells me that there’s at least some widespread interest in this band.

The Safety Fire are of the proggy / technical ilk, although they’ve actually got more in common musically speaking with SiKth than Periphery or TesseracT (from what I can tell from this one song, anyway). They are not instrumental, and they do not beat you over the head with the fact that they can play their instruments. Conversely, this song is not as catchy as anything by Periphery or even Textures, although it does have a hook.

The verdict is still out on The Safety Fire. I’m not that overly impressed, but there’s definitely nothing to hate about them. Let’s see what their full album is like.

Sooo… what do you guys think?
