| Quest For Fire “The Greatest Hits By God” |
Formed in 2007 from the ashes of garage-pop bastard-greats The Deadly Snakes and hardcore / crust band Cursed, QUEST FOR FIRE delivers “far-out trippiness” via long-form songs, distended, leaden riffs, heavy psychedelic swirl and solo-based jams that evoke memories of classic underground blues and garage rock from the ’70s. The band’s moody drift of layers and contrast has been called “riveting rock” that suggests “mutual interests in Black Sabbath sludge and druggy dream-pop.” QUEST FOR FIRE‘s Chad Ross (guitar, vocals) and Mike Maxymuik (drums) were once members of the touring band for Steve McBean’s band Pink Mountaintops and the connection between the Canadian rockers continues with the announcement of the upcoming tour pairing with Black Mountain.
In addition to Ross and Maxymuik, QUEST FOR FIRE features Josh Bauman (bass) and Mike Max (drums).
“Whatever kind of “rock” they want to call their sound, Quest for Fire puts on a scintillating show. Complaints from the audience will be due to elbow injuries suffered during ecstatic fist-pumping sessions, not the quality of the tunes.” – FFWD WEEKLY
