City of Fire is the eponymous debut album by Canadian metal band City of Fire.

Background

[edit]

The album features a cover of The Cult's "Rain" and T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution".

Vocalist Burton C. Bell said:[1]

Byron always wanted to cover "Rain." I love that song, and I love that record, so I wanted to do a really decent version of it and make it our own. So we sat down and we came up with that. "Children of the Revolution" was just like—how did we come up with that? We were sitting there talking. Terry had worked on a couple of songs, and we though that sounded really cool, so we just said, "Hey! Lets do that one!"
