The
Italian band Gunfire was originally an active unit in the 80s in Ancona. At
that time the singer Roberto Borrelli (Robert Drake) met Maurizio Leone (Maury
Lyon) and with him he founded the band "Metal Road". In 1984 they met
Fabio Allegretto (Lord Blackcat), a great guitarist, and after a few rehearsals
Gunfire (the name was chosen by Maurizio) were founded. Maurizio left the
guitar and moved to play bass while composing the first Gunfire song called "Thunder
of War". Soon Roberto Fanelli (Rob Gothar) joined at the drums. After two
months they recorded the first demo in just two days in a very small studio
using a 4-tracks Fostex but the band was quite satisfied considering the
obvious limitations and because it was not ment to be for sale (the demo was
without any artwork, just a simple tape) but simply to be copied in just 50
pieces and to be given free to friends and magazines. B
ut
quickly it was requested from all over the world thanks to an intense activity
of tape-traders. In the same year they had the opportunity to play live for an
important Italian festival near Mantova (Gazoldo degli Ippoliti) and for the
first time in front of a large crowd and in a big stage with important Italian
groups of the time, as Strana Officina, Sabotage, Steel Crown, Vanadium,
Vanexa, Crying Steel, Elektradrive, Dark Lord and it was an amazing experience.
Soon they came in contact with the boys of Discotto from Florence (known as the
first label of Litfiba) who asked Gunfire to take care of the distribution of
the new upcoming album. So they entered the studio: it took a whole week for
the recording sessions and it costed the crazy total of four millions of liras
of the time, so due of economic reasons they were forced to choose and record
only 4 tracks. The Ep "Gunfire" has been produced in about 2.000
copies and it's a genuine and superb heavy / speed metal.
The
reaction of the press and HM maniacs was very good and this Ep vinyl is now a
collector's value item. Unfortunately the situation of the Italian metal scene
in the 80s was really hard and the lack of support and promotion from the
labels made things even more difficult, so they did not have the chance to be
support acts for "big" bands that played in Italy, even if they
became friends with Saxon and played in many places around Italy (Bari, Torino,
Bologna...). In 1985 they recorded some new tracks to be included in an album
for the prestigious label Carrere, who was interested to Gunfire, but in the
end they did not have the deal. The track "Firecult" was recorded to
be included in the "Heavy Metal Made in Italy" LP compilation (with
Elektradrive, Jesterbest, Shining Blade and many others) but after many
problems inside and outside the band they split in 1986.
