Skyfire was formed in the town of Höör, Sweden in 1995 by Andreas Edlund (guitar), Martin Hanner (bass guitar), Jonas Sjögren (guitar) and Tobias Björk (drums). The four were friends since high school and had similar tastes in music. The band recorded two demos Within Reach and The Final Story. On the second demo, the vocals were performed by vocalist Henrik Wenngren. Skyfire got in touch with band members of Thyrfing who helped them find a record label with Dutch label Hammerheart Records. During two weeks in August 2000, Skyfire recorded their first album Timeless Departure in the Abyss Studio.
In September 2002, the band recorded their second album Mind Revolution, again in the Abyss Studio with new drummer Joakim Jonsson. Mind Revolution was released in 2003 and showed the band's style evolving and branching off into many different genres. The third album Spectral was recorded at Los Angered and Studio Underground and released on May 10, 2004 by Arise Records.
The vocalist Henrik Wenngren has left the band and was replaced by Joakim Karlsson.
On January 7, 2008, Skyfire announced on their official MySpace page that they have signed with Florida-based label Pivotal Rockordings on a three-album deal and the band has now entered the recording studio to begin recording their fourth untitled album. Mixing will be done by Scar Symmetry's Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge Studios.
Skyfire have set Esoteric as the title of their fourth album, which is scheduled for release September 14, 2009 in the United Kingdom via Pivotal Rockordings.[1] The album will be released on September 18, 2009 in the rest of Europe, and in North America on October 13, 2009 due to a scheduling issue[2]. The cover art was created by Pär Olofsson, who also made covers for Brain Drill, Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, Persuader and others.[3]
On May 15, 2009 Skyfire announced a new digital only EP entitled Fractal for a July 2009 release. The EP is a collection of B-sides recorded between 2004's Spectral and Esoteric. Fractal was released July 6 for digital download
