About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Melodic post-rockers the Holy Fire followed up their independent 2004 debut EP with another EP, this time for the Southern California indie imprint The Militia Group. Produced by Flaming Lip Michael Ivins, In the Name of the World is tightly wound, emotive, and succinct in its commercial aspirations without sacrificing any of the Detroit collective's signature volatility. Ivins, a bass player by trade, has fortified the songs' foundations in a way that allows each track to succeed on both a musical and muscular level, allowing standout cuts like "Bombs in the Distance" and "Raised on Planes" the room to pound away at the skull before engaging the brain. Vocalist/guitarist Sean Hoen channels everyone from Jeremy Enigk to Robin Zander, giving a lyric like "Kiss me right here with your mouth/All sick from smoke and beer" a necessary dose of desperation and transcendence, the latter of which the Holy Fire seemed destined to achieve.

August 20, 2007: Gritty, raw Detroit rock that lives up to repeated listens, like the other review says. Dual guitars and angular melodies.... I can't stop listening!

February 25, 2006: this little ep calls to mind a lot of great influences. i love the intensity -- especially on "we're not here to learn" -- i can listen to that on repeat over and over. the vocals are solid and the drumming is intense throughout. if there's a weak spot, it's that there could be a little more bass in the mix. still, great set of songs.
