Alchemy Fire is a progressive heavy metal band founded in 2018 by Nottingham UK based lead guitarist and songwriter, Paul Wright.

With its members located in the UK and USA, this international band attributes influences such as Iron Maiden, Helloween, Queensryche and Judas Priest to name a few.

Through an acquaintance, Paul Wright was introduced to Tom Schofield. This introduction led to the collaboration and recording of guitar and drum scratch tracks. David Reed Watson accepted the invitation as vocalist and together with Paul Wright worked on lyrics and harmonies for this upcoming album.

Using guest musicians for bass and keyboard, the band’s album was recorded at Monster Trax Studio  in Newark/Nottingham UK by accomplished musician/guitarist, Composer and Producer Misha Nikolic (Martin Turner’s Wishbone Ash). Grammy nominated, multi-platinum Producer and Mixer, Ulrich Wild, well-known for his work with bands such as Dethklok, Pantera, Static-X, White Zombie, Deftones and Breaking Benjamin, mixed and recorded the album at his LA studio, The Wilderness. Mastering was done by NYC based Grammy winning and multi-platinum awarded Mastering Engineer, Alex Psaroudakis.

With the musical precision and talent of the band, along with the high-level engineering and production backgrounds involved, the album will hit you with a heavy metal wall of sound containing progressive elements. Soaring vocals and harmonies with atmospheric keyboards are backed by thunderous drumming and heavy bass tones to give the listener a balanced mix of fast to mid-paced guitar shredding songs.

Alchemy Fire’s self-titled album set for release Spring of 2023 on music label Qumran Records, will be released digitally, on CD and a 160 gram deep purple vinyl. This album will be one to add to the collection.

Update

I am off to Nottingham, England for the next 3 months…
 
As of July 15th I will be leaving Las Vegas. I will miss all of my friends, musicians, the fans… you have always supported me here. I am blessed. There is a lot of talent in this little town, and a lot of it I will miss, but as I post in my daily tarot readings… change is the only constant, and change is always good.
 
I will be coming back briefly in October before heading out on the MegaCruise in California and from there? I’m not sure… wherever the wind blows me.
 
The only thing I know for certain is that I will be in the English countryside writing lyrics, clearing my head, and getting ready for the new band to explode onto the scene.
 
The new band is called Alchemy Fire which consists of Paul Wright (Deezl), Tom Schofield (Oppressor, Soil), DieTrich Thrall (Beauty In The Suffering, Lords of Acid), and yours truly. We’ve talked about getting a second guitar player, as well as a keyboard player so start sending us your EPKs.
 
There is a lot of talent and a lot of drive in these guys, so I am looking forward to fronting this exceptional line-up.
 
Make sure to follow us
@alchemyfireofficial
 
I’ll see you on the road.
 
Peace,
David

March Update

For the last month, I’ve been on a few cruises… Cruise To The Edge, On The Blue, and the Monsters of Rock Cruise. I’ve met some amazing talent and I’m blessed to be rubbing elbows with them.

Now that I’m back in Las Vegas it’s time to get back on the horse. Today I’ll be recording new DNA material. Make sure to bookmark the webpage for more updates as they come along. We’ve got a great team; Alex, Joe, Neil, and myself, as well as our friend Keith who does most of the web stuff and PR. We’ve got our friend Cali contributing vocals as well on a song or two.

We are actively pursuing a permanent Lead Guitarist, as well as Drummer. We have plenty of studio musicians to help us out along the way but we would like a few solid players to join the team to record, tour, and contribute their time and talent. We would prefer it if you were in the Los Angeles or Las Vegas area, but it’s not a deal breaker for the right people.

Peace!
David Reed Watson
