Quebec City, Canada-based power metallers, SuddenFlames released their sophomore studio album Under the Sign of the Alliance on June 6th, via Canadian label Maple Metal Records.
Under the Sign of the Alliance was produced by Patrice Dalpé and SuddenFlames at SF Studio in Quebec City, and was mastered by Pierre Rémillard (Anvil, Kataklysm, Voivod) at Wild Studio, north of Montreal.

In recent years, SuddenFlames have shared the stage with such acts as Dragonforce, Stratovarius, Kamelot, Primal Fear, Raven, and ed Paul Di’Anno (ex-Iron Maiden) on a 7-city Canadian Tour.
