Free Music Notes for The Premonition
Free Music Review: Power Metallic Blast Furnace
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw Firewind this Fall open for Sontata Arctica. Only having heard of them but not knowing their songs I litened. From Greece, birth place of Western Civilization. Land of Olympus. Should be a great place to forge metal, the ancients did it there so well. And I was impressed with the vocals and cadences immediately. As it was all new there was no time for disitillation but the wine went in the barrel and so began to age in the cellar.
I kept thinking of Firewind but never bought an album for the months to come. Somehow the aging had to reach a critical point. Then I saw the video for Mercenary Man and almost immediately ordered Premonition. Had I had the $$ i would have orderd all their albums and I soon will, Im certain of it.
The melodies are different from the Scandinavian Metal that I ususally listen to. There is even a Mediterranean feel to some songs like "My Lonliness". The driving movement of the waves, what I really want form metal, its all there. Solos are good but I would like more time allotted to them. Some heavy American style bluesy metal breaks through at times. I am so far incredibly satiated with the travelling wave integration.
This album was actually mixed in Sweden and there is an unmistakeable Nordic current running through, the Grecean alpine slopes of Olympus being much more like the arctic than the Mediterranean coast as well. A fine place for another epic to launch.
Not being a long time listener to Firewind I cant judge this album against the others yet, I can only evaluate the band itself against the backdrop of metal I like, much of it from far lands to the North of Greece. I can say that Olympus and Valhol play each others metal at all banquets. Firewind is like a finely forged sword from the hand of Hephaestus himself.
The Premonition Poster
Limited Edition two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) pressing of the Greek Metal band's 2008 release featuring a bonus DVD entitled Live Premonition which includes four songs recorded live in Thessaloniki, Greece, on January 12th, 2008 as well as interviews with all of the band members. There is an unstoppable force exploding out of Greece that is sure to satisfy all of the needs and desires of any fan of heavy music with its powerful, epic Metal assault, melodic hooks and bombastic guitar work. This phenomenon is better known as Firewind, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G. (ex-Dream Evil, Nightrage, Mystic Prophecy, Arch Enemy), who recently turned heads with his stunning "Betcha Can't Play This" feature in Guitar World, and whose signature ESP guitar , already a best-seller in Japan, where he's revered as a guitar hero.
