Flame McBain is the Newcastle based solo project of Jono Roberts-Thomson. Having played in post-hardcore bands from 2006 to 2011, he took a long hiatus from music until a renewed spark to write and record emerged in early 2024. Growing up on a wholesome diet of punk and hardcore, his debut EP 'Speak' blends speed, groove, and melody into an honest and nostalgic release that will resonate with heavy music fans.

King of Fools

is a fierce and unapologetic metalcore/death metal anthem that exposes the brutal truth behind modern politics. With raw, explicit lyrics and relentless energy, this track dives into the corruption, incompetence, and cruelty of those in power. It paints a grim picture of a world plagued by war, hunger, social injustice, and systemic oppression—where politicians act as clowns, fueling chaos and suffering for their own gain.

This song channels anger and frustration into a powerful call to awareness and rebellion, blending eloquent critique with graphic, visceral language. A must-listen for anyone ready to confront the harsh realities behind the headlines.
