Firefight is the debut album by Canadian melodic death metal band Blackguard. The album contains melodic death metal themes but also contains power metal themes. Much like when Children of Bodom started out, Blackguard seems to be caught between two worlds; as the band is too heavy for a lot of power metal fans, while also having too much of a power metal influence for the heavier fans.
