The Fiery Maze was conceived by Dorothy Porter and Tim Finn in 1995 as a ‘rock concert album’. The talents of these two extraordinary artists combine to produce raw, intimate songs about love, sex and obsession. Porter’s previously unpublished lyrics deal with the disillusions of love, as well as the blinding moments of blazing connection. Porter is known for the visceral power of her language; for crafting characters, scenarios and poems that crackle with sexual energy. The journey into ‘love’s hopeless fiery maze’ is no exception.
