Greek melodic Metallers FIREWIND, lead by guitar wizard and Ozzy Osbourne band-member Gus G., are soon to unleash their newest studio album “Few Against Many” on May 21st, 2012 via Century Media Records in Europe.
Backed up by some great media feedback (See attached the cover features for UK’s Powerplay Mag. and Greece’s Metal Hammer Mag.), FIREWIND are now debuting the song “Losing My Mind” exclusively via the website of Germany’s Rock hard Magazine. Check it out here: http://www.rockhard.de/megazine/praesentationen/firewind-losing-my-mind.html
FIREWIND’s Gus G. has checked in to comment about the song as follows: “Usually bands will brag about how they recorded their "fastest song ever"! Well, we're proud to say that this is our slowest song ever and probably our heaviest one. With that said, "Losing My Mind" has lots of different musical parts, tempo changes, thrashy grooves, cool leads, etc. Anyways, check out the song and I hope you bang your head while listening to it!”
Just recently, FIREWIND launched the official video-clip for the new album’s opening track “Wall Of Sound” via the Century Media Records YouTube channel. Check out the dynamic clip, which was shot during the band’s latest shows in their homeland Greece by Colin Marshall, here: http://tinyurl.com/72a3vyw
FIREWIND’s newest album, “Few Against many”, was mixed by Jason Suecof & Eyal Levi at Audiohammer Studios (Trivium, All That Remains, Death Angel, etc.) and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (Mastodon, Hatebreed, Symphony X, etc.). The iconic album’s artwork was once again created by FIREWIND’s longtime partner in all design matters, Gustavo Sazes / www.abstrata.net (Arch Enemy, Angra, Dream Evil, etc.), who has been working with the band since the release of the album “The Premonition”.
The “Few Against Many” album release is preceded by a digital release of the album’s 1st single, “Wall Of Sound”, which is out NOW. As one of several digital retail platform options, you can get it via Itunes by clicking here: http://itunes.apple.com/album/wall-of-sound-single/id515523878
