// October.31.2021 // FIREWIND unleash "New Found Power“ single/music video!
"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“.

// January.24.2021 // FIREWIND Release music video for "Devour"
Power metallers Firewind released their latest studio album “Firewind” in May 2020 . While the band was forced to stay at home, due to the pandemic, they kept their creative spirit high and are now happy to present a new lyric video for the powerful and intense song “Devour” which also incorporates band performance scenes of all members.
Gus G. comments: “”Devour” was the first song I co-wrote with our new singer, Herbie Langhans. After hearing his vocal melodies, it was pretty obvious to me that he was the right man for the job, as this sounded 100% Firewind and features all the elements that the band is known for – melody, heavy attitude, catchy hooks, shredding solos, it’s all there. Lyrically the song is about the endless pursuit of mankind for social status, wealth and getting caught up in the rat race.”
