Few Against Many

Few Against Many is a work on which FIREWIND, centered on sharp guitar riffs, flowing solos and strong vocals, presented tight power metal. Even in fast songs the ensemble is organized, and the outlines of the riffs and vocal melody clearly remain. It is a record that became the last work on which Apollo Papathanasio was a member. On “Wall of Sound,” “Few Against Many” and “Glorious,” guitar-led flamboyance and the weight pushed out by the whole band are balanced. “Edge Of A Dream,” featuring the cello-metal band Apocalyptica, is also included. Songs like “Losing My Mind” and “Destiny” breathe the band’s full playing too. One can enjoy technique and the songs’ drive at once. It is a full record packed with characteristically FIREWIND appeal.
