Florida-based rockers Fame on Fire are back with their latest album, The Death Card, which dropped on September 6th, via Hopeless Records and you can get it HERE. The band—composed of Bryan Kuznitz (vocals), Blake Saul (guitar), Paul Spirou (bass), and Alex Roman (drums)—is known for their powerful mix of hard rock, electronic elements, and deeply emotional themes, and The Death Card delivers on all fronts.
Alongside the album release, Fame on Fire has also dropped a chilling music video for their new single “Chains (The Tower),” which premiered earlier this week on SiriusXM’s Octane. The video’s visuals take viewers into a blood-splattered, post-apocalyptic world where the band members are thrust into dark and precarious situations. It’s gritty, intense, and packed with symbolism—perfect for the song’s theme of battling inner demons.
As the band explains, “‘Chains’ is about being your own worst enemy and waging a daily war with yourself to break through mental hurdles. You control your life’s outcome, but that’s easier said than done. Sometimes you find yourself stuck in difficult situations or dark mindsets. We wanted to bring that struggle to life in the video.”
The visuals are not for the faint of heart, but they perfectly capture the intense emotion behind the track. If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic horror vibes and gritty storytelling, this video is a must-watch.
Fame on Fire’s Meteoric Rise
Fame on Fire’s new album builds on their growing success in the rock scene. Their previous single, “Nightmare (The Devil),” reached No. 1 on Octane’s Big Uns countdown, and it also climbed to No. 12 on the rock radio charts, signaling the band’s strong foothold in the genre. With The Death Card, the band is set to reach even higher peaks. Over the years, they’ve amassed an impressive 650 million streams across their discography, along with over 320 million views on YouTube. Their following continues to grow at a rapid pace, thanks to their powerful, relatable lyrics and genre-blending sound.
The Story Behind The Death Card
The band’s third full-length album, The Death Card, is packed with emotional depth and symbolic references. Each song on the 12-track album corresponds to a tarot card, giving the record a unique conceptual framework. Tarot cards are often used to provide insight and reflection on one’s life, and Fame on Fire uses their music in a similar way—offering listeners a way to process their own frustrations, fears, and emotional struggles.
Musically, the album spans a variety of styles, blending hard rock with piano melodies, electronic elements, and even pop influences. Tracks like “No Tomorrow (The Death Card),” “Spiral (Justice),” and “Chains (The Tower)” demonstrate the band’s ability to mix aggressive riffs with catchy hooks, while songs like “Desire (The Moon)” and “Closure (The World)” showcase their more melodic and introspective side. The result is an album that takes listeners on an emotional journey, touching on themes of self-doubt, mental health struggles, and personal resilience.
Here’s a look at the full tracklist for The Death Card:
- No Tomorrow (The Death Card)
- Nothing Left (The Fool)
