The Greek melodic metallers FIREWIND, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G. (OZZY OSBOURNE), have returned with the scathing new studio album Days Of Defiance. The group will celebrate the album’s release with a limited number of special North American headlining shows. The trek, which kicks off on November 4th and runs through November 7th, features POWERGLOVE and THE ABSENSE in the support slots.

A new tour trailer has been released - click below to view:

Gus G. states: “We are very happy to announce four special album release shows in North America this fall in support of our new record, Days of Defiance. It's been awhile since Firewind played North America, as our last tour was Spring/Summer 2008. This is a very special run for us, as it will be the first time we'll play the new songs live. It also might be awhile until we come back for a full North American run, so we REALLY hope to see many of you come out to these shows. We'll be sure to rock you to the ground and that's a promise!”
