I've been caught up in all things festive over the last few days (alright, some things festive), but now it's time to continue my journey through power metal in 2002.
Greek band Firewind (well, they were formed in the USA, but now seem to be based in Greece) play something of a more 'traditional', Iron Maiden-style of metal, albeit with the speed of power metal, and this is a decent debut. Strong playing and singing lift some reasonable songs into the impressive, highlights including "I Will Fight Alone" and a cover of Scorpions' "Pictured Life", resulting in a very worthy listen.
