  Rough Edge: Skyfire CD Reviews
Skyfire's brand of melodic death metal on "Spectral" borrows heavily from the keyboard-laden sound that Soilwork has become known for (and perhaps a little bit of the style popularized by Children Of Bodom).
Since the album features growling vocals throughout, "Spectral" should appeal to all melodic death metal fans that have been disappointed by the ever-increasing use of clean vocals on recent albums by the genre's heavyweights.
Skyfire: Henrik Wenngren on vocals, Andreas Edlund on guitars and keyboards, Martin Hanner on guitars and keyboards, Jonas Sjorgren on bass, and Joakim Jonsson on drums and guitars.

I'm not sure what type of jet Skyfire is and I've never seen a tow truck that looked anything like Tow-line, but I can tell you this about both of their vehicle modes - they do a piss-poor job of hiding their robot modes.
Skyfire has a good paintjob (very Decepticon), but the jet looks kind of dwarfed like how the G1 minibots looked like dwarfed versions of the vehicles they were based on.
Skyfire resembles a G2 Cyberjet and the only problem I have with the figure in this mode is that the head can only move to the left or right and can barely do that.

 Blistering.com Review: Skyfire - Spectral
In relation to Skyfire, melody reins supreme, along with a windfall of keyboards and flashy guitar runs.
Skyfire's take on the melodic death metal style is admirable in technicality, but has a long way to go in terms of songwriting if they want to hang with the big boys.
A healthy portion of the fat needs to be trimmed off the blubbery physique of Skyfire before we can mention them in the same breath as the mighty Children Of Bodom and Norther.

I like Skyfire, so I was more than a little surprised that upon shopping for the import version of prior album Mind Revolution, I found out this, their third album, had been released on Spanish label Arise Records.
Skyfire, along with Norther, have headed the Children Of Bodom sound-a-like contest with unashamed plagiarism, both pawning the same style of peppy, synth heavy, catchy, “poppish” fl metal.
Despite a new label though, Skyfire appear to be running in place, because as much as I enjoy the band, their technical proficiency, chosen style and energy, it just doesn’t add up to a memorable album indicative of their ability.

 Skyfire - Timeless Departure - review @ Tartareandesire.com
Skyfire have departed on a journey through eternity with this debut album.
If you only go by the vocals this is a death metal album but Skyfire have so much more to offer since they have incorporated more non-traditional elements in their music.
Skyfire do have a lot in common with Children Of Bodom but 1) they don´t have the same bombastic sound, 2) their growling doesn´t have the same depth and 3) the keyboards are not just used to enhance the guitars but also to create more complex classically inspired melodies.

A small gig report of Skyfires debut gig at the KULT festival in Västerås/Sweden August 24th 2002.
The gig was at a two day festival in Västerås in Sweden called KULT and the Skyfire show should start at 18:00 (6 pm I think).
The guys (of Skyfire) had been nervous of a breakdown in the technical gear but otherwise they seemed pretty calm before the show.

 Transcending the Mundane: Interview with Skyfire
Sweden's Skyfire have released three albums (Timeless Departure, Mind Revolution, and Spectral) which capture the band getting progressively better.
With two talented keyboardists in the band, Skyfire play a mixture of fl and death metal which is very melodic and progressive as well.
Skyfire is one of those bands which may be too extreme for the progressive metal crowds, yet too melodic for the extreme crowds- do you think your sound is too eclectic for its own good?

Maargoed deze soort van zang hoort er nu eenmaal bij, en Skyfire weet de stem aardig in te bedden in de begeleiding.
Er wordt wel eens een vergelijking gemaakt met Childer of Bodom, maar het geluid van Skyfire is toch heel eigen.
Skyfire speelt dus warmere muziek dan de doorsnee metalband.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SKYFIRE - Spectral
SKYFIRE’s apprenticeship is officially over, they have a sound they can call their own regardless of comparisons coming from other reviewers worldwide, take “Effusion Of Strength”, “Shivering Shade”, “A Dead Man’s Race” or “Tranquillity’s Maze”, each of them has skilled songwriting, dream like keyboard textures and hyperactive riffs/melodies.
Another thing that sets SKYFIRE apart from other bands is that they don’t drown their songs with thousands of solo runs, there are some solos of course but the band is more concerned with shorter melodies.
If you’re going to call SKYFIRE a clone, now is not the time, “Spectral” is something special, I wouldn’t call it a genre defining album, but it deserves much, much more than a stamp that says “Made in Bodom”.
