Century Media Records is honored to announce the worldwide signing of a multi-album deal with Greek melodic power metal band FIREWIND.
FIREWIND's label debut and third album in their career will be entitled "Forged By Fire" and is set for a January 24th, 2005 release date in Europe. The band's acclaimed previous two albums, "Between Heaven And Hell" (2002) and "Burning Earth" (2003), were recorded for guitarist David T. Chastain's Leviathan Records label and released in Europe via Massacre Records as well as EMI in Japan.
When asked about signing to Century Media Records guitarist and band leader Gus G. commented, "FIREWIND was always happy to work with David Chastain and Leviathan, but both the label and band felt that we needed to jump to a bigger level as we feel this 3rd album is our most important one. I personally have been very satisfied working with Century Media in the past with Dream Evil and Nightrage: We have great co-operation and chemistry and they have always believed in my music since day one."
To record "Forged By Fire" the band utilized three different studios (one each in Greece, Germany and Norway) and finally mixed the album at famous Studio Fredman in Sweden (used also by bands like In Flames, Opeth, Hammerfall, The Haunted, etc.) with Gus G.'s former Dream Evil bandmate Fredrik Nordstrom as well as Patrik J. Sten. New to the FIREWIND line-up is the outstanding, Sri Lanka native vocalist Chity Somapala (ex-Avalon, also in Faro and Moonlight Agony), who replaced Stephen Fredrick (ex-Kenziner). Gus G., FIREWIND's founder and guitarist, was until recently the guitarist for labelmates Dream Evil but decided to leave the Swedish band to concentrate his energies on FIREWIND. Rounding out the current band's line-up are bassist Petros Christo (ex-Breaking Silence), drummer Stian Kristoffersen (Pagan's Mind, Jorn Lande) and keyboard-virtuoso Bob Katsionis (ex-Septic Flesh), who joined the band for their January 2004 headlining Japanese tour with Rob Rock (Impelliteri) as support.
The full track-listing for FIREWIND's "Forged By Fire" is as follows: 1. Kill To Live (3:41) 2. Beware The Beast (4:22) 3. Tyranny (3:30) 4. The Forgotten Memory (3:42) [featuring James Murphy] 5. Hate World Hero (5:50) 6. Escape From Tomorrow (3:57) 7. Feast Of The Savages (4:25) [instrumental, feat. Marty Friedman] 8. Burn In Hell (4:37) 9. Perished In Flames (4:51) 10. Land Of Eternity (5:54) + Tyranny (video clip enhancement) + Making Of/Live Footage (video enhancement)
FIREWIND have recently finished off shooting a video clip for the track "Tyranny", which will be featured as special bonus enhancement on the European version of "Forged By Fire" together with an entertaining 13-minutes long "making of/Japan tour" footage section.
