FIREWIND, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G. (ex-Dream Evil,
Nightrage, Mystic Prophecy, Arch Enemy), has returned with The
Premonition, which is easily their defining moment. The much anticipated
offering is now available and a captivating new video for the stunning
track, “Mercenary Man,” was recently shot by acclaimed director Patric
Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, In Flames). Watch Hard Times to check it out.
The Premonition is a dynamic, metallic assault that was once again
recorded and mixed at the famed Studio Fredman in Sweden with renowned
producer Fredrik Nordstrom (Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir). This album is a
must for any fan of heavy, melodic music and it’s an effort that is sure
to help FIREWIND gain worldwide dominance.
