ABOUT BONFIRE
Bonfire returned with power and precision on Byte The Bullet, reaffirming their status as one of Germany’s most enduring and respected hard rock bands. Driven by renewed energy, a revitalised line-up and a hunger to push forward, the album marked a major modern chapter in Bonfire’s long-running story.
Formed in Germany and celebrated for their melodic strength, anthemic songwriting and high-impact live shows, Bonfire have built a legacy spanning decades and multiple generations of rock fans. Critically acclaimed in their homeland, the band have long balanced classic hard rock traditions with a sharp, contemporary edge, earning a reputation for consistency, resilience and musical ambition.
Released on 24 March 2017 via Silver Lining Music, Byte The Bullet became Bonfire’s 16th studio album and was widely hailed as a worthy successor to their gold-certified classic Fireworks. Featuring 14 punchy, hook-driven tracks — including the title song Locomotive Breath — the album showcased the band firing on all cylinders. Supported by extensive touring and festival appearances across Europe, Byte The Bullet captured Bonfire at full throttle: confident, melodic and unapologetically rock.
