The Greek melodic metal phenomenon FIREWIND, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G., have returned with the scathing new studio album Days of Defiance, which is easily their defining musical moment. The group will celebrate the album’s release with a limited number of special North American headlining shows. The trek, which kicks off on Nov. 4th and runs through Nov. 7th, features Powerglove and The Absence in the support slots. Either see below or visit www.myspace.com/firewind to view all of the dates – these shows are not to be missed.
Gus G. states: “We are very happy to announce four special album release shows in North America this fall in support of our new record, Days of Defiance. It’s been a while since FIREWIND played North America, as our last tour was Spring/Summer 2008.
This is a very special run for us, as it will be the first time we’ll play the new songs live. It also might be a while until we come back for a full North American run, so we REALLY hope to see many of you come out to these shows. We’ll be sure to rock you to the ground and that’s a promise!”
The much anticipated Days of Defiance is set for an October 25th release worldwide. Days of Defiance is a truly ambitious and dynamic opus featuring some of the most brilliant guitar playing the genre has seen in many years.
