Brutal heaviness, furiously fast crack, intense groove, extreme dynamics, immense beauty. (…) in a concert with Fire Orchestra, everything can be found, not infrequently all in one and the same song. (…) It is, as always, incredibly impressive. (Rasmus Klockljung, Lira)
Fire! Orchestra CBA (community based activities) is where a core of the orchestra (Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling and 4 to 8 more musicians depending on the situation) works with 7-10 local musicians to form a new, unique version of Fire! Orchestra.
