FIREWIND North America Tour Begins This Week

Firewind released their latest album, “Stand United,” on March 1, 2024. The North American tour begins April 11, 2024 in Clifton, NJ.

Gus G. and Herbie Langhans have composed and recorded a total of nine new songs together with their producer 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. The nine songs also bear testament to Firewind’s sheer enthusiasm and feature a number of interesting themes. “I wouldn’t exactly call ‘Stand United’ a classic concept album, but the album title indicates what we’re about thematically,” explains Gus G. who has also contributed with more lyric ideas on this one than any album before. “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!”

This basic idea is also reflected in the cover artwork courtesy of Costin Chioreanu (Grave, Mayhem, among others). Gus: “I always loved the artwork of our debut album, which was based on a real hand painting. With ‘Stand United’ being our tenth album, I wanted an equally authentic template and that’s 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’s lyrical themes. I’m just as proud of the artwork as I am of the songs on our new album!” An opinion that Firewind fans are guaranteed to share!
