FIREWIND has released his new studio album, «Stand United“, through AFM. To celebrate, the band has released a video for the album’s title track. Look “Stand United” next:
For more than twenty years, FIREWIND has captivated heavy music fans with its exciting mix of hard rock and power metal. Razor-sharp riffs from guitar legend Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, Arch Enemy, Dream Evil), big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal abilities of the charismatic singer Herbie Langhans (Avantasia, Radiant, Seventh Avenueamong others), who joined the band in 2019.
Your new offer, «Stand United«, includes 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 tenth studio album also attests to the band’s sheer enthusiasm and lyrical themes that couldn’t be more relevant.
“I wouldn’t exactly call ‘Stand United‘A classic concept album, but the title of the album indicates what we’re about thematically,’ he explains. Gus G., who has also contributed more lyrical ideas to this one than any previous album. «This world seems to be increasingly unbalanced, with environmental disasters, pandemics and wars ravaging the planet. In these times, it is more important than ever for humanity to stick together instead of fighting each other. That’s what it’s aboutStand United‘».
This basic idea is also reflected in the cover art, courtesy of Costin Chioreanu (Serious, Mayhem, among others). He says Gus:
«I always loved the artwork of our debut album, which was based on a real hand painting. Given the ‘Stand United‘It’s our tenth album, I wanted an equally authentic template and that’s how I found it costin. The collage of faces on the cover represents war, greed, betrayal, but also love and unity, which are some of the album’s lyrical themes. “I’m as proud of the artwork as I am of the songs on our new album.”
