City of Fire is a
groove metal band from
Canada, formed in 2008. Members include vocalist
Burton C. Bell of
Fear Factory, bassist
Byron Stroud from
Fear Factory,
Strapping Young Lad and
Zimmers Hole, and drummer Bob Wagner of
Econoline Crush. City of Fire has so far released a self-titled album, issued in
Australia in April 2010 and worldwide in August. The second pressing of the album contained additional "bonus tracks", one of which was a cover of the
T-Rex song "Children of the Revolution". Several poorly recorded sample portions of their songs were uploaded on the band's
MySpace page throughout 2009, often accompanied with video (consisting mostly of studio footage).
