U.K. progressive metallers The Safety Fire will enter London's The Dairy studio in mid-March to record their sophomore album. The as-yet-untitled follow-up "Grind The Ocean" will be produced again by the band's own Derya "Dez" Nagle (guitar), who previously worked with Frank Turner (Mongol Horde), Rise To Remain and The Haarp Machine.

Comments Dez: "We are extremely excited to be heading back into the studio to record the follow-up to our debut album, 'Grind The Ocean'.

"We have done some amazing tours in the last year and have really grown as a band.

"We are just really hyped about the new material. It has been great to get into this creative headspace.

"I'll try to avoid all the usual band clichés of saying how this album will be 'heavier and more melodic than the first,' but what I will say is this will be the best album of all time. Ever."

The Safety Fire features Sean McWeeney on vocals, Lori Peri on bass, Calvin Smith on drums, and Derya Nagle and Joaquin Ardiles on guitar.

Nagle produced and mixed "Grind the Ocean" as part of his BlackBear Productions operation.
