Following their anniversary live release “Still Raging”, iconic Hard Rock / Power Metal titans FIREWIND have announced a brand new studio album, “Stand United”, for a release on March 01 via AFM Records.

“Stand United” will be available as CD, LP Vinyl, digital formats and highly collectable bundles including an autographed card, a FIREWIND cat patch plus a ticket for the band’s upcoming European tour with MASTERPLAN. For every ticket bundle purchase, fans will also get the chance to win a Meet & Greet. In support of their upcoming album release, today FIREWIND have shared a new single taken off “Stand United”, the album opening track “Salvation Day”. A music video can be viewed below.



For more than twenty years, FIREWIND have enthralled heavy music fans with their exciting blend of Hard Rock and Power Metal. Razor-sharp riffs by guitar legend Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, DREAM EVIL), big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal skills of charismatic singer Herbie Langhans (AVANTASIA), who joined the band in 2019.

Their new offering, “Stand United”, features nine brand new songs produced with Dennis Ward (MAGNUM, UNISONIC), as well as a cover of the ’80s Pop Rock classic “Talking In Your Sleep”, originally recorded by THE ROMANTICS but giving it a Metal twist in the style of FIREWIND.

Their forthcoming, tenth studio album also bears testament to the band’s sheer enthusiasm and lyrical topics that could not be more relevant. “I wouldn’t exactly call “Stand United” a classic concept album, but the album title indicates what we’re about thematically,” explains Gus G, who has also contributed with more lyric ideas on this one than any album before. “This world seems to be getting more and more out of balance, what with environmental disasters, the pandemic, the wars currently raging all over the globe. In such times, it’s more important than ever for mankind to stand close together instead of fighting each other. That’s what “Stand United” is about!”

"New Found Power“ – the title of their new single (and music video) perfectly describes the current spirit of Greek power metal masters FIREWIND. The band’s latest incarnation, since 2019, of course led by former Ozzy Osbourne axeman Gus G. is fronted by singer Herbie Langhans (Avantasia), a powerhouse vocalist par excellence. Langhans‘ addition to the group’s ranks gave a new kind of energy to FIREWIND and after the release of the band’s latest (self-titled) album in May 2020, now the new single „New Found Power“ continues the FIREWIND legacy with a heavy, uplifting power metal track of highest quality. "New Found Power"  also appears on the AFM Records label compilation "25 Years Metal Addiction", which includes 30 rare or previously unreleased tracks and comes as 2CD Digipak (out now).



„We recently met in our rehearsal room in Thessaloniki, Greece, to film what we all missed so much: playing together. That’s why the „New Found Power“ music video comes without fancy effects or anything: it’s just the four of us playing this cool new song and embracing it“, Gus G. comments.
„We really hope to see all our fans on the upcoming 20th anniversary tour. It’s been way too long and we can’t wait to celebrate 20 years of Firewind with a wild ride through our history“.
