FIREWIND: 'Live Premonition' Bonus DVD Details Revealed

March 5, 2008

As the European release date of Greek melodic metal act FIREWIND's highly anticipated new effort "The Premonition" is drawing closer, the content of the limited edition has been revealed: The special version of the album comes with an o-card packaging and a bonus DVD dubbed "Live Premonition", which includes four brand-new songs from the album "The Premonition" recorded live in Thessaloniki, Greece, on January 12, 2008 as well as interviews with all of the band members.

"Live Premonition" bonus DVD track listing:

01. Into The Fire (6:34)
02. Head Up High (3:43)
03. Mercenary Man (3:56)
04. My Loneliness (4:01)

+ Individual interviews with all members of FIREWIND

FIREWIND mastermind Gus G. comments on the bonus DVD: "We worked very hard to be able to present you this bonus DVD, as we really wanted to put together a very special package for our fans this time around. The whole idea started back in late 2007 when we decided to play a show in our hometown Thessaloniki and present the whole new album live — from start to finish before it was even released. Looking back now, I realize that this was a big project to accomplish. But the night of January 12th made up for the whole work and stress. Over 1,200 crazy fans filled the Principal Theater and the vibe was just magical! We caught that on film and now we present you this bonus DVD with four songs from that show, fully edited and mixed PLUS in-depth interviews with each band member! Dig in and feel the burn of FIREWIND!"

Personally speaking, I'm happy for the fact that I'll get to tour with ARCH ENEMY again. It was a blast playing with them in 2005 and Michael Amott and Co. are such great musicians and people. I have a lot of respect for them. We will give the fans a really intense setlist as we will present material from our new album, 'The Premonition', for the first time."
