\nGreek melodic metal act FIREWIND, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G. has returned with the scathing new studio album effort Days of Defiance, which is easily their defining musical moment. The much anticipated disc is set for an October 25th release in Europe, as well as an October 26th release in North America. Days of Defiance is a truly ambitious and dynamic opus featuring some of the most brilliant guitar playing the genre has seen in many years.
\n
\nThe striking cover artwork was designed by the band\u2019s longtime partner in all design matters, Gustavo Sazes \/ www.abstrata.net <\/a>.
\n
\nA special iTunes edition for Days of Defiance will feature the exclusive new track, \u201cRiding On The Wind.\u201d<\/p>\n
FIREWIND\u2019s guitarist and songwriter Gus G., currently on tour with Ozzy Osbourne in Europe, checks in with the following comment about the album and its artwork: \u201cI\u2019m very excited and cannot wait for our fans to listen to our new album! We feel we\u2019ve captured great performances and took our songwriting to the next level on this one. There\u2019s tons of cool guitar on there and I believe Bob has finally managed to reach warp-speed with his keyboard solos! Even more seriously, I highly recommend that you listen to this album at a very loud volume.

\n\u201cAs for the artwork, it was once again done by our visual wizard and webmaster extraordinaire, Gustavo Sazes. This time we asked Gustavo to come up with a great landscape scenery, with a more traditional approach and even get the \u201cpencil\u201d style of artwork on there, but also combine it with more modern stuff. So, he gave us that\u2026with a slight futuristic, sci-fi element and I think the end result is stunning!\u201d
