FIREWIND

Greek melodic metal sensation FIREWIND surrounding guitar talent/main man Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, ex-Arch Enemy, ex-Dream Evil) have had a fantastic year 2008, which will culminate in an extensive European headlining tour and the release of the band’s first ever DVD / live album entitled “Live Premonition”. The main show of this DVD was recorded during the live premiere of FIREWIND’s most recent effort “The Premonition” on January 12, 2008 at the Principal Theater in the band’s hometown Thessaloniki. The countless fans at the show proved to be a highly supportive, enthusiastic crowd which once again underlined the legendary reputation of Greece’ passionate metal community. Also many international guests were present and simply overwhelmed by the intense atmosphere and FIREWIND’s stunning new material as the band performed the entire “The Premonition” album live for the first time while adding loads of older classics mounting in an impressive 100 minutes long set. The touring campaign for “The Premonition” kicked off with a successful European tour as support of Kamelot in April/May 2008, followed by the “Tyranny and Bloodshred” US tour alongside Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, Divine Heresy in May/June. The summer months consisted of triumphant festival gigs (Download, Graspop, Bang Your Head…) whereas in autumn/winter FIREWIND invite you all to witness them on their own headlining tour through UK/Ireland (September) and Europe (November/December) – there is no doubt: the FIREWIND is as hot as hell and ready to set you all afire! In 2009, FIREWIND are already confirmed to play Rock Hard Festival at Gelsenkirchen (Germany) and if you look back on all the exciting events that followed in the wake of “The Premonition”, you can bet your last buck that the quintet is destined to continue its success story next year. Until then, this professionally filmed and sound-wise brilliant DVD offers you an excellent opportunity to experience the rise of this sensational act, features vast bonus features (Promo videos, a special acoustic set, a road movie and a bonus show filmed in Canada) and is probably the best way to raise your anticipation for more live gigs by FIREWIND, enjoy!
