FIREWIND mainman/guitarist Gus G. has issued the following statement:
"It seems that 2007 has been quite an adventurous year for our singer Apollo. He's currently having some problems back home and needs to take the next few months off. As our touring schedule is quite heavy, we will continue with a replacement and give him the time he needs to get back smoothly.
"The German vocalist Henning Basse (METALIUM) will step in from now on and complete all the 2007 tour dates with us. Henning has helped us already in the past on some shows on our last European tour with ANGRA. He really kicks ass on stage and is a great singer and performer, as well as a great guy. We're grateful to have him on board once again and you'll be surprised by how hard this guy rocks!
"All our upcoming shows will go on as scheduled and announced no FIREWIND shows will be cancelled!"
FIREWIND's new single, "Breaking the Silence" (featuring Tara Teresa), entered the national single chart in Greece at position No. 19 and moved up to No. 16 in its second week. The video for the single's title cut, directed by Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL), can be viewed below.
FIREWIND will soon embark on the third and final leg of its "World Allegiance" tour which will include a short U.K. run, their first-ever North American tour and a few shows in Japan with KAMELOT.
