Greek heavy metal band FIREWIND has made a significant impact on the global metal scene for the last 25 years with their powerful blend of melodic metal, soaring vocals, and intricate guitar work.
Formed in 1998 by guitarist Gus G, who is also known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind initially began as a project but quickly evolved into a full-fledged band. Their music combines elements of power metal, neoclassical metal, and hard rock, characterized by fast-paced rhythms, elaborate solos, and anthemic choruses.
The band's debut album, 'Between Heaven and Hell' (2002), set the tone for their style, showcasing Gus G's virtuosity and the band's penchant for creating memorable, energetic tracks.
Over the years, Firewind has undergone several line-up changes, but they have consistently produced high-quality albums that resonate with fans of melodic metal worldwide.
Notable releases such as 'Allegiance' (2006) and 'The Premonition' (2008) further solidified their reputation, with hits like "Falling to Pieces" and "Mercenary Man."
Firewind's combination of technical prowess and melodic sensibility has earned them a dedicated following, making them one of Greece's most successful heavy metal exports. Their music continues to inspire and energize metal fans across the globe.
