Three Times Royal - Wildfire

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    30 september 2023

"Wildfire" is a testament to our growth as a band and our evolving sound. This track represents a fusion of our signature metalcore roots with a fresh, cinematic twist and a guest guitar solo that we believe will resonate with both our current fans and new listeners alike. It's a song that captures the raw intensity and passion that defines Three Times Royal, and they can't wait to see how it ignites the hearts of their audiences.


“WILDFIRE" is a musical tour de force that combines poignant lyrics with haunting melodies and cinematic, orchestral arrangement creating an auditory experience that resonates with those trying to make sense of a world that seems on the verge of shattering. Expect Iris to sing in a different way, the way you never heard her singing (in a cleaner way, lesser grunting and screaming). at some point we even get some kind of hiphop metal version of Iris and even some kind of ballad minded vocals. The song is way more bombastic as ever before. The sound is very rich too with lots of twists.

"WILDFIRE" tells a gripping tale of a love teetering on the edge of collapse. The lyrics are filled with raw emotion, as the singer grapples with the notion of impending doom, fading sense of self and a desire to leave behind a troubled history. The song encapsulates a complex, emotionally charged narrative of love, desperation, and the struggle to find meaning in chaos. It reflects on the global uncertainty, fragility of human kind and destructive forces at play.

Vocalist Iris Goessens says, “I've always been drawn to the cinematic allure of music, and that's what served as the initial spark for this song. It began as an orchestral composition, but over time, it metamorphosed into a captivating metal fusion that perfectly encapsulates the song's inherent drama. In an effort to intensify the emotional journey, I invited my friend Danny da Costa as a guest artist, and he delivered a mesmerising guitar solo, adding a unique dimension that deviates from our typical metalcore sound in Three Times Royal. Writing, recording, and producing this song in our own space gave us an incredible sense of creative freedom and time to do whatever the heck we wanted. Throughout this creative process, I discovered my passion for producing.

For the final mix/master, we had the pleasure of working with my talented friend Chris DTN Music, who absolutely crushed it!”
