GUS G.'s FIREWIND Announces New Singer HENNING BASSE

FIREWIND, the band led by Greek guitar virtuoso Gus G., well known in rock and metal circles for his work as Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist, has announced the addition of singer Henning Basse (METALIUM, SONS OF SEASONS) to the group's ranks. Basse previously toured with FIREWIND on various continents in 2007 and was most recently the singer in Gus's solo touring band.

 

Basse will front FIREWIND for the band's upcoming performances on the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise and next year's Graspop Metal Meeting festival in Belgium.

Says FIREWIND in a statement: "Since last year, [Henning] started playing some shows with Gus G.'s solo band and he delivered amazing performances, stunning the crowds all over Europe! Henning is an amazing frontman and a personality that totally fits with what FIREWIND is all about."

 

FIREWIND celebrated its 10th anniversary by releasing a live album in June 2013 via Century Media Records in Europe. Titled "Apotheosis - Live 2012", the CD contained 17 songs recorded at special anniversary shows in Greece as well as all over Europe during the band's "Few Against Many" tour in 2012. It marked FIREWIND's final release with singer Apollo Papathanasio, who decided to leave the group at the end of 2012.

 

FIREWIND toured in 2013 in support of "Apotheosis - Live 2012", with Kelly Sundown Carpenter (ADAGIO, BEYOND TWILIGHT) handling lead vocals on the trek.

 

FIREWIND's latest album, "Few Against Many", entered the official chart in Greece at No. 42 and in Germany at No. 90. Released in Europe on May 21, 2012 via Century Media Records and in North America on May 22 through DisManic, Inc. via eOne Distribution, the CD was mixed by Jason Suecof and Eyal Levi at Audiohammer Studios (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, DEATH ANGEL) in Sanford, Florida.

I love a couple of old Firewind songs + his instrumental shredding, but my favorite songs from Kostas "Gus" are from Dream Evil days. I don't remember, though, how much was involved in their composition, except for the killer leads, obviously.

Agreed, neither of those bands have anything as killer as the debut Dream Evil album!

Yeah Dream Evil is better than both mentioned bands....Maybe I need to relisten to metallium as it has been many years, I seem to remember being irritated by the vocals which is why I'm concerned about any future material from Firewind...hopefully I'm wrong...
