Greek power metal band FIREWIND have released their new single, “Firegod,” accompanied by an official music video. The track is the second single from their upcoming studio album, Gods, Myths & Titans, scheduled for release on February 19, 2027, through BLKIIBLK, the metal-focused imprint of Frontiers Label Group.
Led by guitarist Gus G., FIREWIND return with a mythology-inspired concept album featuring the return of vocalist Henning Basse. The twelve-track release draws from ancient Greek mythology, combining the band’s established power metal sound with orchestral arrangements and narratives centered on gods, heroes, and legendary figures.
“Firegod” tells the story of Prometheus
The new single takes inspiration from the Greek myth of Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity.
According to the myth, Prometheus was punished by being chained to a rock, where an eagle repeatedly consumed his liver. Because he was immortal, the organ regenerated, subjecting him to an endless cycle of suffering.
Gus G. explained the inspiration behind the song:
“‘Firegod’ is the second single from our upcoming album, and this one’s about Prometheus and the theft of Fire.”
The guitarist also described the track as a return to the band’s established musical approach, incorporating traditional heavy metal riffs, melodic choruses, and prominent guitar solos.
Musically, “Firegod” combines riff-driven arrangements with the melodic elements associated with FIREWIND‘s earlier recordings.
The official music video accompanies the single, providing another preview of the forthcoming album.
Gods, Myths & Titans explores ancient Greek mythology
The upcoming album is built around stories from Greek mythology, drawing inspiration from figures and events associated with ancient Greek legends.
Alongside “Firegod,” the record includes “The Legend Of Achilles,” referencing the Greek warrior whose story plays a central role in Homer’s Iliad.
Other titles, including “Queen Of The Underworld,” “Under Aegean Skies,” and “Titans Fall,” further establish the album’s mythological direction.
The twelve-track release also features a prologue, a prelude, and an epilogue, giving the record a structured narrative framework.
According to the announcement, the band has incorporated orchestral arrangements alongside its traditional guitar-driven compositions, expanding the musical presentation without abandoning its heavy metal foundation.
Henning Basse returns on vocals
Gods, Myths & Titans marks the return of Henning Basse as FIREWIND‘s vocalist.
Basse previously performed with the band and now rejoins guitarist Gus G., bassist Petros Christo, and drummer Johan Nunez for the upcoming release.
The album also represents a new label partnership, becoming FIREWIND‘s first release through BLKIIBLK, Frontiers Label Group’s dedicated metal imprint.
Gus G., whose career includes work with OZZY OSBOURNE, continues to lead the band’s songwriting and guitar arrangements.
