Remastered re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Founded on the ashes of early 80s Hard Rock act Cacumen, German Rock act Bonfire unleashed their debut album “Don’t Touch The Light” in 1986, which not only raised a lot of attention in the Hard Rock scene, but also received favorable press from all over the world. Soon after the first release, Bonfire went through some line-up changes but nevertheless hit the studios with famous producer Michael Wagener to record the album, which up to today is regarded as one true classic in Hard Rock history - “Fireworks”.
“Fireworks” marked the international breakthrough for the band, in Germany alone sold more than 100.000 copies and took Bonfire into the national charts for more than 30 weeks. A huge tour with Judas Priest followed soon after.
In 2009 “Fireworks” was remastered by Toni Ubler for the company Yesterrock. This edition of the album now featured 8 additional songs, all live performances by Bonfire from circa 1988 with Claus, Hans, Joerg playing in addition to new members Angel Schleifer and Edgar Patrik.

The twelfth full-length studio album by the cult German Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Bonfire, whose songs have sold over six million copies worldwide, remain ambitious and are always eager to strive for new goals. Quality melodic Hard Rock songs with nice eighties touch that reminds of the Bonfire we once knew. The double guitar sounds great throughout the album, Claus Lessman's voice is better than ever and the play list shows depth and variety. The song writing is solid. Musically there are zero weak spots and, with 40 years experience under their belts, the album sounds as professional as can be. This is the first full album to be released with Bonfire's original drummer, Dominik Huelshorst, back behind the drum kit for the band. Album contains two bonus tracks, acoustic versions of "I Need You" (from the “Strike Ten” album) and "Rivers Of Glory" (from the “Knock Out” album) that were recorded in 2011 with Claus Lessmann and Hans Ziller playing acoustic guitars and Chiara Ziller (Hans' daughter) on piano..
There's no doubt about it - Bonfire have a lot planned and after more than 1,200 live gigs, and still set standards for melodic Hard Rock. This old car will add a few more miles the next few years!!

Second remastered re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Hard Rock band.
The "comeback" album of the band, released in 1996 on the independent label LZ Records, which was founded by band members. The album contains mostly English versions of the "Glaub Dran" album by Lessmann/Ziller, solo-project of guitarist and vocalist of Bonfire. Ex-Bonfire drummer Dominik Hülshorst contributed to the drums on the album. A German version of the album, named "Freudenfeuer", was released as well – the songs themselves had the same music as the English album, but the lyrics are much different and do not correspond to the English songs.
"Feels Like Comin' Home" is a great album and needs to be heard if you like Bonfire!

Second remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
One of the best and most underrated bands in existence. "Fuel To The Flames" is Bonfire’s comeback album to their roots, which marks the return of the signature Rock sound that the band had been known for.
After the short break up that came about in the mid-nineties, main men Hans Ziller and Claus Lessman, (guitars and vocals respectively) came together and reformed Bonfire and released "Feels Like Comin' Home" and "Rebel Soul". These two albums were more on the softer side of things, they didn’t have the huge fist pumping loud Arena Rock sound of "Fireworks" and "Point Blank", rather they were like two best friends that decided to write songs about life, not how much “action” they got and how loud they liked their music. While very admirable efforts with some classic songs on each of them, the fans longed for the day when Hans and Claus would just flat out Rock again. They must have heard the fans cries because they recruited Jurgen Wiehler and Uwe Kohler to be in the band (who are now full time permanent Bonfire members) and in 1999 the fans got their wishes granted with "Fuel To The Flames". This band is back, and they are ready to kick some ass and not bother to take names!
For Bonfire newbies, "Fuel To The Flames" is an excellent way to begin your journey into one of Rock's most overlooked bands. This is a good representation of the band the way they are today, while still containing elements of their glorious past. With albums like "Fuel To The Flames" and "Strike X", Bonfire is showing the world that good old ass kicking melodic Hard Rock is here to stay and that they are prepared to lead the way!!

"Knock Out" was released at the very end of Hair Metal's rule in the world. Up to this point, the band were building momentum, but with "Knock Out" Bonfire was knocked out and drop out of the contest.
In any case, all the trademark Bonfire elements are present at this album: big guitar hooks, catchy choruses, Claus Lessmann's distinctive vocals, hard rockers, party anthems, and of course, the obligatory ballads.
So, if anyone likes their first three records, there is no reason not to like this one!

The first re-release of the eleventh full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Hard Rock band.
Originally released in 2008 by LZ Records, this album is a result of collaboration with P.W. Politz as a Rock Opera called "The Räuber" that debuted in Ingolstadt, Germany, in March 2008. The opera itself featured the band performing all the songs and went sold out for several weeks. A DVD was released in August 2008 that contained the opera performance as well as a full-length concert by the band.
Bonfire rose to this challenge and has produced, without doubt, their best work to date. Yes, several cuts are sung in their native German, but do not let this dissuade you from listening to "The Rauber". This is great Melodic Hard Rock wrapped in an interesting story, performed by a great and legendary band, a band who choose to explore something beyond their normal boundaries.
