Century Media Records has announced that FIREWIND was honored with a Swedish gold award for their latest single, “Wall Of Sound” at a show in Thessaloniki on July 18^th.

FIREWIND’s Gus G. checked in to comment as follows: “What an epic show it was in Thessaloniki! It was our first open air headline show and the crowd was just awesome! The “Few Against Many” world tour couldn’t have started better. We even got our first gold award for the single “Wall Of Sound” in Sweden, which came out with Sweden Rock Magazine! We’re ready to rock the rest of the world now, keep checking back for tourdates that are being added around the world!”

“Wall Of Sound” was exclusively released in Sweden as physical single via Sweden Rock Magazine and each copy of the magazine contained the single’s Digipak CD, including the album tracks “Wall Of Sound” and “Few Against Many” as well as a previously unreleased demo version of “Wall Of Sound”.
