Days of Defiance

Days of Defiance is a work on which FIREWIND unified racing power metal, impressive lead guitar and strong choruses. There is much technical play, but it is devoted to the role of pushing up the songs’ momentum and melody, so the listening feel is very straight. It is an energetic record from the period on which Apollo Papathanasio was a member. On “The Ark of Lies,” “World On Fire” and “Chariot,” both speed and hooks are balanced at a high level. Songs like “Embrace the Sun” and “When All Is Said and Done” breathe the band’s full playing too. Made by Gus G. in parallel with Ozzy Osbourne’s band, this work shows his vigorous creative drive. It is a tight melodic-metal work for those who seek both speed and hooks.
