To celebrate the “MMXXIII” release in glorious style, today, BONFIRE are presenting a new music video for the “Fireworks” classic “Ready 4 Reaction”! Says founding member and main composer, Hans Ziller: “….one may think time stands still. 1987 was just yesterday. But no, that brutal guitar sound, the colossal production, that can’t be from yesterday. It isn’t. It’s Ready 4 Reaction 2023. It’s so contemporary and fresh that it’s a real joy.
The video is raw, straightforward and goes all the way up to 12. Now that’s how Bonfire is unrestricted fun!

Since more than 35 years, BONFIRE are the embodiment of “Hard’n’Heavy made in Germany“, and belong to one of the most iconic hard rock bands to date; their latest, 2020-offering “Fistful Of Fire” garnered high positions in the German album charts. Their first three releases, “Don’t Touch The Light” (1986), “Fireworks” (1987) and “Point Blank” (1989), which have shaped a whole era, still hold a special position in BONFIRE’s career. As Hans Ziller came up with an ambitious idea: How would the songs from those now slightly dated releases sound if they were re-recorded in contemporary studio conditions? This concept was particularly exciting because the band’s current line-up is one of the strongest of their entire career.
