Firewind

The band Firewind was created in 1998 by guitar hero Gus G. with a few friends in the United States. Aware of the guitarist's potential, they decided to bet everything on his talent. That same year, the band recorded a demo called Nocturnal Symphony containing 10 songs, which attracted the label Leviathan Records. But the band remained on standby for a while, as Gus lingered on other bands such as Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy and Nightrage. After the release of the first albums of the various bands, Gus focused on Firewind, accompanied by the original members, Stephen Fredrick on vocals, Kostas Exarhakis on bass, and Brian Harris on drums. The lineup remained unchanged for the release of Between Heaven and Hell on June 24, 2002.
