THE SAFETY FIRE posts new track, "Red Hatchet," online; reveals album artwork

Last week saw the announcement of London-based progressive metallers THE SAFETY FIRE's forthcoming sophomore album, Mouth of Swords, and the band is now excited to reveal the first track to be taken from said album.

We are all so incredibly proud of this album and feel 'Red Hatchet' is a great introduction to 'Mouth Of Swords'. Get hyped, stay ajeysie."
