Crossfire Thrash Metal / Co. Dublin
Official Biography…
CROSSFIRE were originally formed by schoolmates and guitarists Kevin O’Connor-Conroy and Adam Treacy. Joined soon after by bassist Conor Jordan and drummer Dale Limpin, the four men quickly began gigging around Dublin. Dale Limpin would be soon replaced by Dan O’Connor, but the band continued to gig. Following personal and professional conflict within the band, Adam Tracey would leave the band in the summer of 2014. He was soon replaced by good friend and longtime AXIAL SYMMETRY guitarist Matt O’Brien.
The band are known mostly for their classic old-school thrash metal sound and attitude blended with intense screamed vocals, progressive solo and bridge sections as well and lyrics ranging from light-hearted takes on drinking and partying to more profound imagery of war, horror and violence.
