Freshly back from performing at 'Bang Your Head!!!' and 'Masters Of Rock' festivals in support of their current album release “Few Against Many”, melodic metallers FIREWIND played an intense hometown show in Thessaloniki on July 18th, at which they were honored with a Swedish gold award for their latest single, "Wall Of Sound".
FIREWIND’s Gus G. checked in to comment as follows:
“What an epic show it was in Thessaloniki! It was our first open air headline show and the crowd was just awesome! The "Few Against Many" world tour couldn't have started better. We even got our first gold award for the single "Wall Of Sound" in Sweden, which came out with Sweden Rock Magazine! We're ready to rock the rest of the world now, keep checking back for tour dates that are being added around the world!”
"Wall Of Sound" was exclusively released in Sweden as physical single via Sweden Rock Magazine and each copy of the magazine contained the single’s Digipak CD, including the album tracks "Wall Of Sound" and "Few Against Many" as well as a previously unreleased demo version of "Wall Of Sound". Meanwhile, Blackstar Amplification is now unveiling a brand-new signature amp for FIREWIND’s guitar-virtuoso and Ozzy Osbourne band member Gus G., the Blackfire 200. Based on Blackstar's award winning Series One 200 amp design, this 200W, limited edition amplifier has been voiced in partnership with Gus G. More info HERE.
Additionally, Gus G. has now announced that he will be doing clinics for Blackstar Amplification and ESP Guitars on four select US dates in August. The clinics are free to attend, but we recommend that you arrive early; there are a lot of people who want to get this intimate exchange with Gus, where he’ll be playing tracks from the new FIREWIND album, answering your questions, and signing autographs.
The dates are as follows:
August
07 - Sam Ash (Carle Place, NY)
08 - Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center (Wheaton, MD)
09 - Sam Ash (King of Prussia, PA)

Gus comments:
“I'm really looking forward to going back in the US and do these special clinics, play a bunch of new FIREWIND material from "Few Against Many", show off and talk about my new signature amp and of course meet all the great people that support me! See u soon!”
