Firewind
Days of Defiance
Rating
Style: Melodic/progressive/hard rock
Release date: October 25th 2010
Playing time: 54:00
 

Firewind is back, with a pretty damn good album no less. It's been a couple of years since their last album, 2008's "The Premonition", which had a deep, slightly epic tone to it. And now they're out with "Days of Defiance".

 

This album has a slightly darker sound (according to the band themselves) due to the situation in Greece. But it is also a bit more evolved and mature than previous albums (although "Burning Earth" is my personal favourite).

 

But in general this is an album worth getting, and a must if you are a fan.
