'A WORLD ON FIRE' CD

The Five Hundred's Sophomore album 'A WORLD ON FIRE' on CD. Released 30th July 2021.

As the world closed its frontiers, boarded up their cities, and locked themselves inside, The Five Hundred closed themselves off from the rest of society for 6 months to write their follow up to the hugely successful and critically acclaimed debut, Bleed Red.
The album focuses on a morbid theme of environmental devastation, rising sea levels, climate disaster, and the ensuing loss of entire ecosystems, cities and millions of human lives. A subject that is particularly close to their hearts, guitarist & lyricist Mark Byrne passionately talks about the band’s inspiration behind the album…
“The environmental catastrophe that is headed our way will cause more deaths than COVID-19 and the solution will be far more complicated than a simple vaccine. We are all lost our shit during this pandemic, but what’s coming next is so fucked up, we won’t know what hit us. We are simply not ready for this. We normally revel in ambiguity, and believe in leaving room for interpretation. Spoon feeding our listeners has never really been our style, but for this record we felt the need to be blunt and direct.”
