Behind The Tracks: Blades Of Steel - Hands Of Fire (Single) (2026)

Yara Haag (Vocalist): This song was actually the first instrumental composition we created as a band. It was a huge challenge, and I think because it was our first, we really wanted it to be perfect. We previously released it as ‘Iron Hands,’ and it’s one of the fan-favorite tracks on the album. Now that we’re celebrating one year since the official physical release, we decided to mark the occasion by releasing a revamped version of this song, with different lyrics, a new interpretation, and, most importantly, a fresh production approach. We wanted something that reflects what we’ve done so far, while already bringing in influences we’ll explore on our next album. This song is about battle. And battle doesn’t necessarily mean war; it can be any adversity you face in life. Sometimes we go through moments where we need to be strong, and that’s what this song is about: being strong and never bowing your head. Even when life hurts you, you have to keep moving forward.
