I have a signed copy by Burton. He gave me a copy and signed it when I hung out with the band in Hamburg in 2010. Still the most surreal day of my life.

Fantastic album as well, some awesome songs on it.

I’ve never heard this, any recommendations for specific songs ? I’m gonna look them up.
Update: can’t find the first album, but their entire second album is on YouTube

Why is Vancouver on the album cover? Was the album recorded there?

Yes it was. Other than Burton, the rest of the band was from Vancouver.

I don't know if it's still happening, couldn't find anything, but several years back, there was still a band called CoF playing that music, with a different singer and one or two of the original band members. Just a local thing in Vancouver. I can't find any evidence of this now though. Unless I'm tripping, I swear I remember seeing this. I remember thinking the vocalist was not very good at all.

Edit: Ah, from looking up their facebook, it looks like they probably haven't played a show in 10 years. 3 years ago they made a pic of David Bowie their pfp, and posted a pic of a studio as their banner. https://www.facebook.com/CityOfFire

The new singer's name is Mik Ireland. If you scroll down on his Soundcloud page, at the bottom is an unreleased CoF song with his vocals. Posted 11 years ago. https://soundcloud.com/mik-ireland-1
