AFM Records Inks Deal With Firewind, Details Of New Album Revealed

Greek based power metal act Firewind signed on with AFM Records for the release of the new album "Immortals," which will be released on January 20th, 2017 via AFM Records in North America and Century Media Records in Europe. The album is the first to feature vocalist Henning Basse (MaYaN).

Gus G. checked in to comment about “Immortals” and its artwork (which can be seen below) as follows: “Today we're very happy to reveal the cover artwork for our 8th studio album. It's titled "Immortals" and it's the first concept album Firewind has ever made. Since we're from Greece, we thought it would be a cool idea to make a concept of Greek history and heritage. So, on this album we focused on the legendary battles of Thermopylae and Salamis during the 2nd Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC. The artwork was once again created by our longtime collaborator, Gustavo Sazes and we feel it reflects the vibe we tried to capture on this album - Epic, Powerful, Glorious, Everlasting.”

“Immortals” marks the first time Firewind used an outside co-producer, working with Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream 69), who not only engineered, mixed and mastered the album, but also co-wrote it together with Gus G. The album’s track listing reads as follows:
