Fire from the Gods
Fire from the Gods (often abbreviated as FFTG) is an American rap metal band formed in Austin, Texas in 2007. The band is currently signed to Better Noise and consists of lead guitarist Drew Walker, bassist Bonner Baker, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Jameson Teat, drummer Richard Wicander and lead vocalist Myke Terry.
FFTG has released three full-length albums to date: Narrative (2016, Rise), American Sun (2019, Eleven Seven), Soul Revolution (2022, Better Noise).
Fire from the Gods was formed in Austin, Texas in 2007 by guitarists Drew Walker and Tony Esparza, bassist Bonner Baker, keyboardist Jebediah Roper, drummer Chad Huff, and vocalist Michael Vincent, who came together following a local battle of the bands. Their original vocalist was Michael Vincent, who still has the recordings of their EP "Sweet Lasting Revenge" on his personal YouTube account, which also appears to have previously been the official band page. Their musical genre and influences were described as "blending hip-hop, metal and hardcore".
In 2011, Judson Curtis replaced Chad Huff on drums in time for the Sweet Lasting Revenge EP and Michael Vincent would be replaced on vocals by Eric July for Politically Incorrect EP (2013). At the end of 2013, Jameson Teat and Richard Wicander replaced Tony Esparza and Judson Curtis on rhythm guitar and drums respectively. Chris Mardis was originally hired as a fill-in vocalist after departure of Eric July at this same time, but then stayed onboard when the band officially added A.J. Channer in 2014.
On October 12, 2015, Fire from the Gods released "Pretenders", their first single under Rise Records. The single version of the song included both Channer and Mardis on vocals. Following the departure of Mardis in 2016 as FFTG were recording Narrative, Channer became the sole vocalist.
Narrative, the band's debut full-length album, was produced by David Bendeth and released on August 26, 2016, via Rise. The album contained the hit singles "Excuse Me" and "End Transmission", and tackled controversial subjects such as racism and abuse of power.
In 2017 the album was re-released as Narrative Retold with the addition of two new songs, "The Voiceless" and "The Taste", both of which were produced by Korn's Jonathan Davis. Following the release of Narrative Retold, the band went on tour with Born of Osiris, Volumes, Within the Ruins, Oceans Ate Alaska, and later with P.O.D., Alien Ant Farm and Powerflo.
In 2018, Fire from the Gods supported such acts as Sevendust, Of Mice & Men, Memphis May Fire and In Flames on selected dates of their respective US headlining tours.
