FIREWIND To Be Joined By Original Singer At PROGPOWER USA

April 12, 2007

Guitarist Gus G. of the Greek metallers FIREWIND has issued the following update:

"Those who have followed FIREWIND's career since the early days know that our first singer was Stephen Fredrick. I actually never met him during recording or writing sessions and we never did any live shows with him. Yet our first two albums are very special and Stephen's performances on 'Between Heaven & Hell' and 'Burning Earth' now have a legendary reputation. Stephen also happens to live in Atlanta. That's where our last stop on our U.S. tour will be at the famous (and now sold-out!) ProgPower USA festival.

"We thought we"d put something special together for ProgPower and I can confirm to you here and now that Stephen will join us on stage on October 6th for the first time ever to perform some FIREWIND tunes from the first two albums!! We're all very excited about this as this is a once-in-a-lifetime reunion with our former singer."

As previously reported. FIREWIND has begun work on a video for the song "Breaking the Silence" featuring a guest appearance by female singer Tara Teresa. The clip is being helmed by acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus (LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR),who previously worked with the group on their video for the track "Falling to Pieces".

FIREWIND singer Apollo Papathanasio was recently forced to sit out a part of the band's World Allegiance Tour due to a family emergency. His temporary replacement for the the last seven dates of the band's European tour with ANGRA and POWERQUEST was Henning Basse of METALIUM.
