Seminal FIREWIND album 'Burning Earth' now reissued on CD with 4 bonustracks!

Published October 9 2024 at 11:08

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.

Now Metal Department can offer a long overdue reissue of their out-of-print 2nd album 'Burning Earth', originally issued in 2003.

Firewind already attracted a lot of attention with their debut album 'Between Heaven And Hell', but things really took off for them with the release of the 2nd album.

Former Kenziner frontman Stephen Fredrick is responsible for the excellent, powerful vocals, and Pagan's Mind skin tanner Stian Kristoffersen is to be found on the drums.

The new CD version includes 4 bonustracks of which 3 have never been available before, and 1 has only been released as a bonustrack in Japan.
