FIREWIND Celebrates Record Release Day With New Video For Album Title Track “Stand United”

While hard rock power metal titans FIREWIND have just kicked off an extensive European tour with MASTERPLAN (find all dates listed below!), today, they are finally releasing their new, critically-acclaimed studio album “Stand United”! Out now on AFM Records, and available as CD, LP Vinyl, digital formats and highly collectable bundles including an autographed card, a FIREWIND cat patch plus a ticket for the band’s current European tour with MASTERPLAN (for every ticket bundle purchase, fans will also get the chance to win a Meet&Greet ), make sure to order “Stand United” here: https://firewind.bfan.link/stand-united 

“We’re extremely happy to finally release our 10th studio album! To celebrate, we present you another video, this time for the title track.” Gus G comments. “We collaborated with Grupa13 from Poland for the video of “Stand United” and we hope you’ll love this as much as we do. 

The video story is inspired by many sci-if movies that we know for long time, yet feels more relevant today than ever – humans vs machines. Will AI take over? Humanity must stand united. 

Pick up the new album and come see us on tour!”

 Watch the stunning, new FIREWIND video clip for “Stand United”, now premiering at:

Since more than twenty years, FIREWIND enthrall heavy music fans with their exciting blend of hard rock and power metal. Razor-sharp riffs by Gus G, big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal skills of charismatic singer Herbie Langhans (Avantasia, Radiant, Seventh Avenue, amongst others).

Stand United features 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 much-acclaimed, new studio offering also bears testament to the band’s sheer enthusiasm and lyrical topics that could not be more relevant. “I wouldn’t exactly call ‘Stand United’ a classic concept album, but the album title indicates what we’re about thematically,” Gus G, who has also contributed with more lyric ideas on this one than any album before, recently said. “This world seems to be getting more and more out of balance, what with environmental disasters, the pandemic, the wars currently raging all over the globe. In such times, it’s more important than ever for mankind to stand close together instead of fighting each other. That’s what ‘Stand United’ is about!”

  1. Salvation Day
  2. Stand United
  3. Destiny is Calling
  4. The Power Lies Within
  5. Come Undone
  6. Fallen Angel
  7. Chains
