Firewind: Apollo Will Not Appear in the States

[guardian26]

That sucks!

 

[Metaldrumz]

So Apollo is not the singer from Forged by fire?

You're joking right? Sarcasm?

Dunno so I'll simply say not a fucking chance. Those vocals on FBF are handled by Chity Somapala who now sings for CIVILIZATION ONE.

He's sung for a few bands most notably Richard Andersson's projects Time Requiem and Majestic.

THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN I COULD POSSIBLY EXPECT!!!


Henning Basse is a MUTHAFUCKA of a singer! They GOOOOOTTA do a cover of Smoke on the Water, the way Metalium did on their first album! Best fuckin' cover I've heard in years!!! Gus could destroy that song!!!

 

[Metaldrumz]

The new "Evil Masquerade" CD as well.

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

Henning is AWESOME \mmmmmm/

Why do lineup changes suprise anyone, and why do they get attributed to some kind of ProgPower curse? These kind of bands have linup changes frequently, but most go unnoticed since they're not currently in anyone's spotlight. Take for example the Evergrey bassist change.

Firewind has been anything but stable having had three singers in four albums. I agree with DrumRman that Apollo is the weakest of the three, and Basse is a welcome change as far as I'm concerned.

Is Stephen Frederick still scheduled to appear with Firewind as a guest vocalist at ProgPower?

 

[Met-Al]

As much as I love Apollo's performance on Allegiance, Henning in one of the few vocalists I've been dying to see live. This is a very welcome change, and one that I'll be enjoying thoroughly as my band opens for them at the Pearl Room in September. This is sweet!


Stay metal. Never rust.

Met-Al

Agreed. Apollo is great on Allegiance, but I've always wanted to hear Henning live, as well. Go listen to the Metalium debut if you haven't heard Henning's vocals. "Striiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkkkeee down the heathen..."

 

[booB]

Henning is frickin' badass. My interest level in Firewind just went up a notch.

 

[SharkBlack]

Sounds oddly familiar... I bet Apollo is gone permanently before the next recording...

 

[Diamond45]

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that Firewind is Gus G.'s band. I think every album has a different lineup on it.

I like Apollo and their more mellow approach on this album (read - its good for radio airplay), but I'll have to check out this "new" singer (who obviously has been around for a while).

Sorry to hear Apollo won't make it, but I think its more than just "problems back home". My gut feeling guess is that there's MUCH more to it than that. (my guess - he and the rest of the band didn't get along) :Smug:

 

[ashaman7122]

I kinda thought Metalium was more well known, but a lot of people don't really seem familiar with Henning's work.

Oughta be a cool performance...looking forward to it!

Rock on!

 

[Wishmaster]

Hey, as long as Tara is there for her song...

[Ascension]

Apollo is better in Time Requiem anyway. Can't comment on the new guy...Metalium doesn't register on my radar.

Those vocals on FBF are handled by Chity Somapala who now sings for CIVILIZATION ONE.

Also, vocalist in the now defunct prog metal band Avalon. Eurasia was one of the better prog metal albums to ever be released.

No, I didn't know. That is why I was asking. I have heard Firewind songs but I am not too familiar with the lineup besides the (IMHO) overrated Gus G.

 

[DreamThief]

"overrated Gus G"

There's two things I didn't ever think I'd see together.

That's the guy from RED CIRCUIT - Trance State CD right???

That album is like crack, whiskey and women all rolled into one for me - can;t stop spinning it

 

[Ascension]

That's the guy from RED CIRCUIT - Trance State CD right???

Yep...that's a good one with Chity too.

Actually, mine too. I still haven't heard or bought Allegiance due to the different lead vocalist. If I recall correctly, Henning can hit the stratosphere, so this should be fun to see and hear!
