According to a brief update from FIREWIND / OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Gus G., Firewind's upcoming show in Athens, Greece with the SCORPIONS at the Peace & Friendship Stadium has been rescheduled for October 27th.

The promotional video clip for 'World On Fire' can be seen below.

Gus G., currently on tour in Europe with Ozzy Osbourne, comments on the video as follows: “The video for ‘World on Fire’ was shot entirely on green screen and I think this time Patric Ullaeus has outdone himself! The concept is based on the album cover artwork and it's something we're doing for the first time on a video of ours. There's a barbaric vibe to it, lots of fire, metal warriors and even a Valkyrie. We're very pleased with the final result and we believe this is our best video yet. Check it out and let the Firewind rage on!”

The clip was shot by acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus, who has worked with Firewind's visuals on the previous two albums.
