FIREWIND: New York City Footage Available

November 12, 2010

Fan-filmed video footage of FIREWIND's November 6, 2010 concert at the Gramercy Theater in New York City can be viewed at this location. A couple of the clips are available below.

FIREWIND bass player Petros Christo was forced to sit out of the band's recently completed North American dates due to a family emergency. Filling in for him at the shows was FIREWIND/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G.'s ex-axe partner in NIGHTRAGE, Marios Iliiopoulos. Marios will also be playing with FIREWIND on the upcoming European and Japanese dates before Petros returns to the band in 2011.

FIREWIND's new album, "Days Of Defiance", sold around 700 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 53 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

The European limited-edition mediabook CD version of "Days Of Defiance" doesn't only come with special packaging, alternate cover artwork and expanded booklet features, it also contains three special bonus tracks, a Gus G. / ESP guitar pick as well as a quality FIREWIND sticker.

"Days Of Defiance" was released in North America on October 26 (one day earlier internationally) via Century Media Records. The CD's striking cover artwork was designed by the band's longtime partner in all design matters, Gustavo Sazes.

"Days Of Defiance" is described in a press release as "a truly ambitious and dynamic opus featuring some of the most brilliant guitar playing the genre has seen in many years."

The "World On Fire" single was made available for purchase on digital platforms starting on August 17. The video for the track was once again directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, SONIC SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among many others. Ullaeus oversaw all of FIREWIND's visuals on the band's last two albums.
