The track, Reforge the Steel, is notably associated with J.R.R. Tolkien’s "The Lord of the Rings.", drawing a direct parallel between the "reforging" theme and the legendary sword Andúril (the Flame of the West), which was reforged from the shards of Narsil.
In this week's studio session, Toby and Isaac run through what gear they are using during the session, and the band runs through the track Reforge The Steel (from the album Reforge The Steel) at Unit One Studios.
The band is already preparing for two shows later this year, the first supporting NWOBHM legends Desolation Angels at the Cart & Horses, London (birthplace of Iron Maiden) on July 19th, and the second a festival slot in North Essex in August which is yet to be formally announced. For both shows, Kaine will be playing a full-on NWOTHM set with songs taken from all of their albums, Falling Through Freedom (2012), The Waystone (2014), A Crisis of Faith (2018), Reforge The Steel (2019) as well as 2022’s After Extinction.
The band has listened to the request for these tracks to return to the set, and now that the band's “Extinction” era promoting the After Extinction album and EPs has concluded, it was felt this was the perfect time to bring these songs back to the live performances. Kaine has also reverted to using its original logo for the time being.
