Following their much-acclaimed anniversary live release,\u00a0Still Raging<\/em>\u00a0(September 2023,\u00a0AFM Records<\/a><\/strong>), iconic hard rock power metal titans\u00a0FIREWIND<\/strong>\u00a0have announced a brand new studio album, titled\u00a0Stand United<\/em><\/strong>, for a release on\u00a0March 1, 2024<\/strong>\u00a0via AFM!\u00a0Stand United<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will be available as CD, LP Vinyl, digital formats and highly collectable bundles including an autographed card, a\u00a0FIREWIND<\/strong>\u00a0cat patch plus a ticket for the band’s upcoming European tour with\u00a0MASTERPLAN<\/strong>\u00a0(see all dates listed below!). For every ticket bundle purchase, fans will also get the chance to win a Meet&Greet. The album pre-sale has just started\u00a0HERE!<\/a><\/strong>

In support of their upcoming album release, today,\u00a0FIREWIND<\/strong>\u00a0have shared a new single taken off\u00a0Stand United<\/strong><\/em>, the album opening track\u00a0“Salvation Day”<\/strong>! A music video is now premiering at: FIREWIND – Salvation Day (2023) \/\/ Official Music Video \/\/ AFM Records – YouTube<\/a><\/a><\/a>

Since more than twenty years,\u00a0FIREWIND<\/strong>\u00a0enthrall heavy music fans with their exciting blend of hard rock and power metal. Razor-sharp riffs by guitar legend\u00a0Gus G<\/strong>\u00a0(Ozzy Osbourne, Arch Enemy, Dream Evil), big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal skills of charismatic singer\u00a0Herbie Langhans<\/strong>\u00a0(Avantasia, Radiant, Seventh Avenue, amongst others), who joined the band in 2019.

Their new offering,\u00a0Stand United<\/strong><\/em>, features nine brand new songs produced with Dennis Ward (Magnum, Unisonic), as well as a cover of the 80s pop rock classic \u2018Talking in Your Sleep\u2019, originally recorded by The Romantics but giving it a metal twist in the style of\u00a0FIREWIND.<\/strong>\u00a0Their forthcoming, tenth studio album also bears testament to the band’s sheer enthusiasm and lyrical topics that could not be more relevant. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t exactly call \u2018Stand United\u2019 a classic concept album, but the album title indicates what we\u2019re about thematically,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>explains\u00a0Gus G<\/strong>, who has also contributed with more lyric ideas on this one than any album before.\u00a0\u201cThis 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\u2019s more important than ever for mankind to stand close together instead of fighting each other. That\u2019s what \u2018Stand United\u2019 is about!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This basic idea is also reflected in the cover artwork courtesy of Costin Chioreanu (Grave, Mayhem, among others). Says Gus: \u201cI always loved the artwork of our debut album, which was based on a real hand painting. With \u2018Stand United\u2019 being our tenth album, I wanted an equally authentic template and that\u2019s how I came across Costin. The collage of faces on the cover represent war, greed, betrayal, but also love and unity, which are some of the album\u2019s lyrical themes. I\u2019m just as proud of the artwork as I am of the songs on our new album!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
