Graham Reynolds’ new album ‘The Portcullis’ is out today on Fire Records and as part of the Weird Walk Record Cult

'The Portcullis' draws on dungeon-synth textures, medieval ambience, and the imaginative pull of folklore. Rather than recreating the past, it opens a threshold into a world slightly outside time. At its centre is a simple question - what lies behind the portcullis? – taking the listener on a focused journey through shifting eras, symbols, and atmospheres. It plays like a lost fantasy soundtrack, inviting the listener into an adventure that feels both ancient and newly invented.

Fire celebrates 40 years of fierce independence !
