Century Media Records has issued the following update on FIREWIND, the Greek metallers led by young guitar sensation Gus G. (ex-DREAM EVIL, NIGHTRAGE, MYSTIC PROPHECY, ARCH ENEMY):

While the worldwide metal scene is eagerly awaiting the release of Greek melodic metal sensation Firewind's new album The Premonition, the band now presents you a further appetizer that should even increase your appetite for this metal delicacy. Watch the brand-new album trailer below...

As a special competition in cooperation with German Rock Hard magazine, you now have the chance to win one of five copies of Firewind’s Greece-only single 'Mercenary Man'. All copies were signed by Gus G. and the only thing you need to do is guess the three classic metal riffs Gus performs in the video posted here (you have to scroll down a bit). Once you accomplished that, just email the song titles to Rock Hard magazine by clicking here and please state “Firewind-Singles” in the subject line!

The Premonition will be released as standard jewel case CD and limited edition CD incl. O-Card packaging and a bonus DVD entitled Live Premonition which includes four brand-new songs recorded live in Thessaloniki, Greece, on January 12th, 2008 as well as interviews with all of the band members on the following dates:
