Firewind Return With ‘Days Of Defiance’

Published

on

The Greek metal phenomenon FIREWIND, led by the young guitar sensation Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne), has returned with the scathing new effort Days of Defiance, which is easily their defining moment. The much anticipated disc is set for a fall release and it’s a truly ambitious and dynamic opus featuring some of the most brilliant guitar playing the genre has seen in many years. Be sure to stay tuned to www.myspace.com/firewind in the coming weeks for the new album’s cover art, track listing and samples of new songs.
 
FIREWIND are also currently featured on Metal Hammer UK’s May edition (Issue 205) Judas Priest Tribute CD presenting a blistering version of the classic “Breaking The Law” track to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the British Steel album. For more information, please visit www.metalhammer.co.uk.
 
Gus G. further states: “I know it’s been a few silent months, but this time we decided to be pretty quiet about the recording process of our new album. Anyways, before we go into revealing more info, we recently did a very fun project which was to be a part of Metal Hammer UK’s Judas Priest Tribute CD.

“We actually recorded everything for that cover song in our home studios and then passed over the files to Fredrik Nordström/Studio Fredman in Sweden for the mix. This also marks our first recording with our new drummer, Michael Ehre, and the end result is killer (in our humble opinion), as we got to cover one of metal’s most classic songs “Breaking The Law.”
“As for our new album, it’s scheduled for a release sometime this fall and the name of it is Days of Defiance. We’ll check back soon to reveal more info, song names, etc. We can’t wait for you to all hear this and we promise it will be worth the wait.”

‘The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live’ Concert Event to Make Streaming Debut Next Month

Published

on

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only Live

AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.

The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.

Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24. 

Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”

Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.

The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.

Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.

The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
