Name: Same Old Fire by Absinthe Green
Duration: 4 min 25 s
Description: “Same Old Fire” is about the struggle between longing and loss, the way old wounds and fears can haunt us. It captures the ache of losing something once so bright, yet still feeling its flames burning cold. It’s a raw, personal reflection on love, dreams, and the things we let slip away.

I’m thrilled to present our take on the iconic Spice Girls hit 'Viva Forever.' This song holds a special place in my heart, and reimagining it through the lens of rock and metal was both a challenge and a passion project. We've infused it with heavy riffs, dynamic vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes to give it a powerful, high-energy feel while staying true to the emotion at its core. Covering this nostalgic track has been an exciting journey, and I hope it resonates with both rock lovers and those who grew up with the music of the '90s and '00s.

Same Old Fire

Absinthe Green is the brainchild of songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Eirini “Absinthe Green”. Absinthe made a name for herself playing the bass for different acts of the metal scene through the years. She has participated in international projects, such as handling the bass duties for the German band Enemy of the Sun, and Greek dark metal act RandomWalk among others. Furthermore, she has shared the stage with renowned artists in numerous shows and festivals throughout Europe. 

    Absinthe started writing music for this project back in Germany, in 2016. Having a diverse musical background, her songwriting blends a variety of music genres and influences together, into the unique sound of Absinthe Green. 

    After a while, the moment has arrived for her to realise her personal vision in the form of a full band. This coincided with the artist’s move back to Greece in the end of 2019, where Absinthe was joined by former RandomWalk bandmate Harry Mason on drums and later on by Villy Pirris on bass and herself on vocals and guitar. 
The band’s first release is the song “Dead Before My Eyes”, a high-powered enthralling rock anthem, coming from the kick-off full album, “Of Love and Pain”.
