FIREWIND Explains Treviso Concert Cancellation

November 24, 2008

Greek melodic metallers FIREWIND were forced to cancel their November 23 concert in Treviso, Italy after vocalist Apollo Papathanasio was taken ill. "It's no secret that he has been suffering from a throat infection during this European tour and lots of fans witnessed him performing sick in quite a few shows," the band says. "After the show in Rome he felt very ill and for the sake of continuing this tour succesfully, we spoke to our Italian promoter (Live) and agreed to cancel the show. We're sorry about this and we promise to make it up to you on our next visit to Italy. The rest of the shows will continue as orginally planned!"

FIREWIND's first-ever live effort, "Live Premonition", was released all across Europe this month and is available as DVD, 2CD and deluxe DVD+2CD set offering a stunning 22-song set filmed and recorded earlier this year in the band's hometown of Thessaloniki.

The 2CD version of "Live Premonition" consists of the audio portion of the main show on two separate CDs, available for the price of one CD. The DVD also features many extras such as behind-the-scenes footage, special acoustic live performances, promo clips and much more.

Fan-filmed video footage of FIREWIND's November 6, 2008 concert in Tilburg, Holland can be viewed below (clip uploaded by "geminy761").
