Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the “Crazy World” lineup and the Hammond sound that spawned it. However, his “God of Hellfire” quickly burned out and, in 1970, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak show “Kingdom Come“, followed by a varied solo career. Those first four albums by the band, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Kingdom Come, are electrifying, and have become cult classics for fans of the genre.

Best known for his flamboyant stage performances and his powerful, wide-ranging operatic voice. He has had a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his exceptional vocal ability and his wild stage persona and concepts. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock and progressive rock and an influence on heavy metal music.

He has collaborated with Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Klaus Schultze and Alice Cooper and had a cameo in the cult film “The Committee” and also in “Tommy”. His countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project, The Stranglers and The Prodigy.

His best-known single “Fire” reached number 1 in the UK and Canadian singles charts, and number 2 in the US Billboard Hot 100. The album “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” was a top ten hit on both sides of the Atlantic. After “Fire”, Brown was often referred to in the press as “The God of Hellfire”, in reference to the song’s opening line.

Arthur shows no signs of stopping or slowing down and continues to record and release inspiring music, including his most recent release “Long, Long Road” (2022) and the launch of his new multimedia show “A Human Perspective”.
