History & Biography
Düsseldorf’s own Elmsfire was born through the guitarists in 1999, but only obtained a record deal in 2011 through Massacre Records. The group’s first live appearance had come in 2002. By then the band had changed five vocalists and several rhythm section members. Sanna and Doro had remained constant. The Untide demo came in 2003, was followed by Horizons of 2005 and Serum of 2008. The independent demo full-length of Thieves Of The Sun from 2010 was the first release through Massacre being re-issued in early 2012. The band had appeared at shows like Siege Of Düsseldorf III and Rhein Rock Open Air. Erdmann exited in 2015. The next release was another demo. It was called Hour Of The Wolf and issued in 2016. Earlier singer Lukas had returned for this one, but did not stay. Erdmann Görg returned too, but did not stay. Jet Records picked up the 2020 record. That was the end of the label. The band reported recording in 2023. The band kept uploading music, including a cover version of Judas Priest's Living Bad Dreams, in 2024 and 2025. Then there was an Amorphis cover version. The 2025 album was called Lychcraft.

The band’s name was inspired by St. Elmos Fire weather phenomenon and picked by Doro.
