Hailing from Düsseldorf, Germany, Elmsfire has been delivering blistering heavy metal since 1999. With a sound that bridges epic melodies and crushing riffs, the band channels the raw energy of traditional heavy metal while carving out their own fiercely melodic path.

Named after the mysterious St. Elmo's Fire—a glowing omen for sailors—the band’s music is as intense and electrifying as their namesake. Their signature blend of harmonized guitars, thunderous drums, and powerful vocals delivers anthems that hit hard and stay with you.

Over the years, Elmsfire has evolved without compromise, sharing stages with genre giants and building a loyal following across Europe. Their albums, including Thieves of the Sun and Hour of the Wolf, showcase their ability to craft immersive metal tales, blending myth, fury, and precision.

Elmsfire is more than a band—it’s a relentless force of German heavy metal. For fans of Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, and Iced Earth, this is your next obsession.

Their latest release, Lychcraft, is a dark, riff-driven album. that delves into themes of mysticism, mortality, and ancient rites—pushing Elmsfire’s signature sound into even more powerful and atmospheric territory.
