FIREWIND, Greece’s leading metal band spearheaded by guitar-wizard and Ozzy Osbourne band member Gus G., has just released a new live album entitled “Apotheosis – Live 2012”, celebrating the 10^th anniversary of the band in style. The album can be purchased as limited edition Digipak CD from CM Distro HERE and as Digital Download HERE.

The live songs featured on this album were recorded at special anniversary shows in Greece as well as all over Europe during the band’s “Few Against Many” tour in 2012 and comes with a playing time of 69 minutes, featuring a great overview of the band’s 7-albums spanning career so far as well as quite a different track-listing than 2008’s “Live Premonition” release. “Apotheosis – Live 2012” also marks the final FIREWIND release with longterm singer Apollo Papathanasio, who left the band by the end of last year. He has ever since been be replaced by Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Adagio, Beyond Twilight) as session front man for all 2013 live-activities. The cover artwork for “Apotheosis – Live 2012” was designed by FIREWIND’s longtime partner in all design matters including the band’s latest studio album release “Few Against Many” (2012), Gustavo Sazes / abstrata.net (Arch Enemy, Angra, Dream Evil, etc.) based on live photography by Hans-W. Rock.
