Power metal -yhtye Firewind julkaisi uuden albumin ”Stand United” 1.3.2024.
Yhtye julkaisi levyltä myös uuden videon.
”We’re extremely happy to finally release our 10th studio album! To celebrate, we present you another video, this time for the title track.” Gus G kommentoi. ”We collaborated with Grupa13 from Poland for the video of “Stand United” and we hope you’ll love this as much as we do. The video story is inspired by many sci-if movies that we know for long time, yet feels more relevant today than ever – humans vs machines. Will AI take over? Humanity must stand united.
Pick up the new album and come see us on tour!”

Yhtye julkaisi levyltä aiemmin singlen ja lyriikkavideon ”Chains”:
Yhtye julkaisi aiemmin levyltä singlen ja videon ”Fallen Angel”.
Gus G: ”Fallen Angel” is a song about the eternal battle between good and evil, a song about the temptations of life. There’s been so many interpretations of all this.
Working again with director Rainer ”ZIPP” Franze, we gave a biblical touch on the visuals and there’s even some choreography going on, for your viewing pleasure. Musically, I feel there’s a good balance of modern and classic Metal elements which is where Firewind should be in 2024.”
Yhtye julkaisi aiemmin levyltä ensimmäisen singlen ”Salvation Day”.
“I wouldn’t exactly call ‘Stand United’ a classic concept album, but the album title indicates what we’re about thematically,” kertoo Gus G. “This world seems to be getting more and more out of balance, what with environmental disasters, the pandemic, the wars currently raging all over the globe. In such times, it’s more important than ever for mankind to stand close together instead of fighting each other. That’s what ‘Stand United’ is about!”
Levyn kansitaiteen on toteuttanut Costin Chioreanu (Grave, Mayhem, among others). “I always loved the artwork of our debut album, which was based on a real hand painting. With ‘Stand United’ being our tenth album, I wanted an equally authentic template and that’s how I came across Costin. The collage of faces on the cover represent war, greed, betrayal, but also love and unity, which are some of the album’s lyrical themes. I’m just as proud of the artwork as I am of the songs on our new album!”
