February 20th, 2026 -Prague goth rockers, CATHEDRAL IN FLAMES have unveiled their new single & sylish video for the track, “Push The Fire”.
“Push The Fire” is a metaphorical story about picking up women. On the surface, it’s vampire kitsch; underneath, it’s classic seduction wrapped in promises of eternal love, right up to and beyond the grave. The seduction doesn’t really work out, though, so both of our heroes get angrier and angrier, and they end up more and more blood-soaked.
The initial inspiration came during long spring walks around the South Bohemian fish ponds when, above the melting ice there was nothing to see but raw, damp fog and flocks of crows. Musically, “Push The Fire” is a return to the roots: a straightforward, fast goth rock’n’roll song with a chorus that hits you straight in the face. The bridge is a conspiratorial wink toward the band, The Mission and their album, Severina.
“Push The Fire” is a fast, rhythmically-pulsing track driven by Gatsby’s bass and Barney’s tribal drumming and features a soaring chorus adorned with Ambra’s vocal acrobatics and Phil’s trademark growl. The sound was produced and mixed by Brett Carruthers of the Canadian band, The Birthday Massacre.
Coming from mysterious Prague with an unrecorded past that goes back to the times before the fall of the Iron Curtain and early 90s. The dark legend appears from nowhere and is here to please all the fans of classic gothic rock. And what is more, it will do so in the 21st-century vibe. CATHEDRAL IN FLAMES‘ first EP. Children Of The Blackest Hole, was released in December 2019.
The two key members, Phil Lee Fall, a vocalist and a lyricist, and Gatsby, a composer and bass, keyboard and guitar player, are accompanied by the angelic voice of Ambra von Bernstein and the wild guitarist, Billac deVille.
CATHEDRAL IN FLAMES released their first regular full-length album, Hang Me High And Bury Me Deep in 2021. Since than, the band spit out several singles and the album, Count To Nine, full of modern gothic rock with roaring guitars, pumping bass, tribal drums and both guttural and angelic vocals.
As a first taste of their new line-up – now consisting of veterans Phil Lee Fall, Gatsby, Ambra Von Bernstein, Billac DeVille, and newly-joined drummer, Barney Estrada – Prague goth rockers, CATHEDRAL IN FLAMES release the single & video for “Push The Fire”.
“Push The Fire” is available on all major digital outlets worldwide.
