Appalachian heavy metal haints By Way Of Fire bring unreleased material to the stage for three exclusive June shows!

Appalachian heavy metal haints continue their rise across the Southeast while working on debut full-length album!

Atlanta, GA – Emerging from the foothills of Appalachia with a thunderous blend of heavy metal, doom metal, and heavy rock, By Way Of Fire are set to unleash new, unreleased material during three exclusive live performances this June. As the band continues work on their highly anticipated debut full-length album, fans in Georgia and Florida will get an early taste of what lies ahead.

Since forming in 2021, By Way Of Fire have steadily built a reputation throughout the Southeast for their powerful live performances and evolving sound. Their debut EP, »Jackals« (2022), showcased the band’s stoner rock and hard rock influences, helping establish them as a force within the Atlanta heavy music scene. Following extensive touring and regional performances throughout 2023, the band entered Ledbelly Studios to craft their next chapter.

The result was »Into Oblivion« (2024), an EP that expanded the band’s sonic landscape with a heavier metallic edge while maintaining the memorable melodies and songwriting that have become their trademark. Drawing influence from acts such as Sumerlands, The Sword, and NITE, By Way Of Fire continue to push their sound into darker and heavier territory without sacrificing accessibility.

Now, as they work diligently on their first full-length release, the band is taking their next step by bringing fresh material directly to audiences across the Southeast.

“Heavy metal haints, By Way Of Fire, emerge from the creative realm to bring new unreleased material to the stage for three exclusive June shows.”

Upcoming June performances:
June 10 – Culture Shock – Atlanta, Georgia
June 19 – Deviant Libation – Tampa, Florida
June 20 – Coastal Empire Beer Co. – Savannah, Georgia

With new songs in hand and momentum continuing to build, these performances offer fans a rare opportunity to experience the next evolution of By Way Of Fire before their debut full-length album arrives.
