Ils changent de chanteur et de batteur, en recrutant Apollo Papathanasio (chanteur de Time Requiem et Meduza) et Mark Cross
FIREWIND, the Greek power metal act led by guitarist Gus G. (DREAM EVIL, ARCH ENEMY), have announced the addition of singer Apollo Papathanasio (ex-MAJESTIC, TIME REQUIEM) to the group's ranks. "He is a world-class act and I'm very happy that the timing's right now and we're joining forces under the FIREWIND flag!" Gus said in a statement.
Apollo commented: "Since I met Gus in Gothenburg four years ago, we became good friends and back then we always talked about working together in the future. Now here we are together, taking the FIREWIND music to a new level. I love Gus' guitar style and it's a pleasure to listen to their music. The guys in FIREWIND are real magicians and I'm happy that you’re letting me be a part of this machinery."
In other news, the band have issued the following statement regarding their drummer situation:
"For purely logistical reasons, we've decided to get a drummer that lives in Greece. We'd like to thank Stian Kristoffersen for his amazing drumming and the great times we had together the past three years. So, out goes Stian and in comes the monster drummer Mark Cross (ex-HELLOWEEN, METALIUM)!! Although Mark is 50% German and 50% British, he’s been living in Greece for many years. This obviously makes rehearsals and preparations happen much easier."
Commented Mark: "Life's a spinning wheel and here I am aside to one of the few remaining great young guitar heros…. The Gus G. Firewindo metal fuckin' machine! Looking forward to their next album, a tour and FIREWIND heading your way!"
FIREWIND are currently in pre-production mode with eight new songs completed. The new album is expected to be recorded in early 2006 and FIREWIND plan to make their live debut with the new lineup at ProgPower UK festival on March 25, 2006.
FIREWIND's third album, "Forged by Fire", received its long-overdue U.S. release in July via Magick Records (a division of Cleopatra Records).
Gus G. recently toured with ARCH ENEMY on Ozzfest 2005 as the group's touring guitarist after Christoper Amott bowed out of that band in order to "fully concentrate on his studies at home in Sweden," according to ARCH ENEMY axeman Michael Amott.

Ils font chier à changer de chanteur à chaque album, et le batteur qu'ils avaient était excellent, Mark Cross sans être mauvais c'est la catégorie au-dessous à mon avis...
Dommage, c'est quand même un groupe sympa...

Si t'aimes son jeu tu devrais être servi avec Firewind où il se lache vraiment
C'est du power metal (mélodique) mid tempo et bien riffu à gros son, couplé à des influences old school très "guitare" genre Dio, Scorpions, Loudness, Malmsteen, etc. En clair, ça solote pas mal
Du moins sur les albums précédents...

On peut écouter le nouvel album en entier, à l'adresse ci-dessous, avec un bon son pour du streaming qui plus est!
http://ecard.centurymedia.com/firewind/firewind2.html
ça a l'air de qualité encore une fois, même si je trouve le nouveau chanteur un bon cran en-dessous des précédents...
Sinon ils font la couv' des mags grecs, et leur single est même rentré dans les charts grecs...

L'album est sympa, mais pas transcendant quand même. Je m'en suis lassé assez vite, en fait; une petite déception pour moi.

"Allegiance" faisait partie de mon Top 5 2006.
Oh, ils n'ont rien inventé, ça c'est clair, mais c'est très bien exécuté et les compos sont accrocheuses (notamment "Breaker").

Firewind - The Premonition
Nouvel album des grecs prévu pour le 24 mars:
Et la pochette:FIREWIND – reveal album title & artwork for their new album; touring Europe with Kamelot in April/May 2008!
Greek melodic metal sensation FIREWIND will release its successor to 2006’s highly acclaimed “Allegiance” album on March 24th, 2008. Guitarist Gus G. checks in with details on the programmatically entitled “The Premonition”:
“The Premonition” is a strong title and our drummer Mark came up with the idea. A premonition means feeling something is about to happen. We’ve worked hard the past two years and we just have a premonition that 2008 is going to be a very fun and exciting year for us as we plan to visit again many places and countries and hope to play for our fans as well as make new ones!
Of course, you can interpret the album title in any way you want. Some people might read our lyrics and see that at times they’re about the course of mankind and the so-called “end of days”. So maybe this could be taken also as a warning or omen, because it’s definitely something that has been on our minds lately.
I feel that the new FIREWIND album is yet another step up in our career – musically speaking. Once again we aimed for a highly variable effort as I really don’t like those albums where you’ve listened to the first song and it’s like you heard them all! This doesn’t happen on a FIREWIND album and certainly not on the new one!

Firewind c'est bien !!!!!!!!!
Juste dommage qu'ils aient pas gardé Chity Somapala (CIVILIZATION ONE) , de loin leur meilleur chanteur à mon goût.
Déjà vus en première partie d'Angra, super, vivement le 11 avril, je trouve qu'ils mériteraient la tête d'affiche mais bon....
Un premier morceau "Mercenary man" en écoute sur leur myspace depuis hier :
