A Los Angeles band from the early 1970s that mixed rock energy with ancient themes.
For their sound, try "Face the Fire." For the mythic atmosphere that got them noticed and criticized, "Atlantis" still holds up.
Their track "Face the Fire" shows what they did best, hard rock with Samuel Carter's distinctive vocals and guitar work, wrapped around themes from ancient myths. Songs like "Atlantis" and "Darkfall" created a particular atmosphere that drew both fans and criticism from religious groups who saw occult references. They maintained a following despite the controversies and Carter's substance abuse struggles.
Ring of Fire formed in Los Angeles in the early 1970s around vocalist and guitarist Samuel "Blaze" Carter. They recorded songs including "Face the Fire" and "Dreams of Empire" while dealing with internal challenges that affected their stability.
