Firewind released their eighth studio album, Immortals, on January 20th via the band’s longtime label partner Century Media Records in Europe and in North America via AFM Records.

Immortals marks the first time Firewind used an outside co-producer, working with Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream 69), who not only engineered, mixed and mastered the album, but also co-wrote it together with Gus G.

Next to the standard jewel case CD and Digital Download formats, Immortals is also available as LP on 180gr vinyl with a poster as well as the entire album on CD as bonus. Additionally, there is a limited edition Mediabook CD with expanded booklet, a bonus track and 3 stickers.
