Firewind press release & new video

[Harvester]

Greek melodic metal sensation FIREWIND are proud to present you their video clip for the song “Breaking The Silence” (feat. Tara Teresa on guest vocals), which marks the band’s 2nd single outtake in Greece off their critically acclaimed album “Allegiance”. The clip was directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Company Sweden (Dimmu Borgir, Within Temptation, etc.) and you can now watch it HERE!

FIREWIND’s Gus G comments on the video as follows: “So here it is! I hope you all dig our brand new video…I can tell you we had a blast doing it! The song itself is a highlight of our latest record, as the duet between Apollo and Tara came out fantastic. Patric Ullaeus’ videos are always a guarantee and it’s an honour for us to work with the best of the best! Patric definitely made sure we had enough fire on this one and really brought things to a new level!”

The brand-new single was released on July 2nd, 2007 and is destined to continue the band’s overwhelming success as the previous single “Falling To Pieces” managed to reach position # 11 in the official Greek single charts and brought some real Metal to the chart-lists for no less than eleven (!!!) weeks! Also, the “Allegiance” album stayed in the official Greek album charts for nine weeks!

Wow, great way to start the day. Thanks, Glenn!
Love the song and the video matches it. I'm glad they did a straight forward rock-out video and didn't try to gussy it up with some misplaced, weird imagery. Can't wait to see them do this song live.

Yeap awesome news indeed. A good friend of mine Jake (singer for Power Metal band DREAMLAND) did the pyrotechnics for the video.

It will definately be an exhausting Metal week for me as I will be going to both the NH, and NYC shows and then getting ready to head on out for PPUSA.

Gonna be awesome! Healing Tool is an awesome song for those who dont have the Japanese version of "Allegiance".

kick ass

Yep, it's very solid bonus track. Breaking The Silence is probably my fave track on the album, glad they chose to do a vid for it.
