biography

Yet another power metal ensemble showcasing the widely acknowledged and always in-demand talents of Greek guitar hero Gus G. (whose real name is Kostas Karamitroudis, and whose other credits include Dream Evil and Mystic Prophecy, among countless guest spots), Firewind blurs the lines between serious band and casual side project with its fluid multinational membership and surprisingly busy musical output. The latter has been represented by dependably yearly releases such as Between Heaven and Hell (2002), Burning Earth (2003), and Forged by Fire (2004); while the former has seen musicians like American vocalist Stephen Fredrick (also involved with Finland's Kenziner), Greek keyboardist Bob Katsionis (Septic Flesh), and American drummer Mark Cross (Helloween, Nightfall, Winters Bane, etc.) come and go. Because of all this, it's impossible to affirm whether the "band" has been laid to rest or remains a going concern. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

  - Been a fan since the first album and although some of the songs are kinda 'Euro' metal the guitar talents of Gus G. are undeniable. Nice chops and killer fills and good old power chords!!

  - Firewind is a throw back to the great metal bands of the 80's what i would call the best metal band to emerge in the last 18-20 years and thats saying alot considering there 1st album just came out 6 years ago but the sound is unmistakeable metal with the obvious iron maiden helloween and malmsteen influences that can be heard in every song just makes me smile everytime i listen to them i cant get enough of this band
