Resounding rhythms, impossible solos, basic riffs, progressive influences, fierce hooks, an impressive staging and furious vocals almost reaching the growl and touching the sky. The evolution of Born in Exile's sound, taking all band members skills several steps beyond.

Ross The Boss - Born of Fire 2020
The album starts off very promising with high-energy tracks that are reminiscent of the first two Iron Maiden albums in the way that punk and metal are seamlessly mixed into something that is distinct and fun.While early Maiden feels like a mixture of ’70s punk and ’70s metal, the opening tracks on this record feel like a mixture of ’80s metal and modern contemporary punk, which helps give the album a distinct feel from the get-go that is both fresh and appealing.
