Mike Flyntz of American metal band Riot has made available online the original demos of Faith And Fire, the project formed with ex-Riot Vocalist Tony Moore plus bassist Danny Miranda and drummer John Micelli,  these 12 songs include one previously unreleased track “Ann’s Room” which never made the final release.

Says Mike, “Faith and Fire was created when Danny Miranda and I decided to write and record as a project. Paul Orofino planted the seed in my head when he was working on the Westworld records with Mark Reale. I immediately knew I wanted to track down Tony Moore and have him sing since I was always a big fan of his and it was a long time since he released anything publicly. Danny suggested we use John Micelli on drums from Meat Loaf. We started writing in 2002 and didn’t release the record until 2006. I think the record is a nice combination of writing styles of Danny and I. Since we didn’t have a budget prior I funded the record myself,  ‘Ann’s Room’ is a tune that never got released. It’s a nice departure from the rest of the album.”

Faith And Fire – The Demos , plus the debut album Accelerator are available here. Fans who purchase the physical signed CD get a free download of the demo tracks.
