Firewind 의 보컬이 교체됬네요.

4집부터 firewind의 전성기를 함께한 보컬 Apollo Papathanasio가 탈퇴했네요.

 

페이스북 소식에 의하면 아폴로는 예전 몇년동안 파이어윈드의 늘어만가는 스케줄을 감당하기 힘들었다고 하네요.

 

다행스럽게도 서로 불화때문에 헤어진건 아닌것 같네요.

 

새 보컬은 Kelly Sundown Carpenter로 바로 정해졌습니다.

 

왠지 보컬 음색을 보면 다음 앨범이 few against many 보다 더 헤비해질것같은 안좋은 느낌이 드네요;;

 

APOLLO PAPATHANASIO QUITS; REPLACEMENT VOCALIST ANNOUNCED FOR UPCOMING TOURING! (read press release below):

FIREWIND have announced Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Adagio, Beyond Twilight, etc.) as new vocalist for their upcoming North American touring activities, after longterm vocalist Apollo Papathanasio parted ways with the band.

FIREWIND comments:
... “Today we are in the unfortunate position to announce that Apollo has decided to step down permanently from the vocal duties in FIREWIND. For the past few years it was evident that Apollo could not keep up with FIREWIND’s ever growing and demanding touring & promotional schedule. Several times we've had to recruit replacements in order to continue touring the world and keep playing for our fans. We're lucky enough to have worked with some of the best Metal singers out there!

Although we're sad to announce Apollo's departure and we sure will miss him, at the same time we feel that the show must go on! FIREWIND is a band that has gone thru lots of ups and downs the past 10 years, but is still going strong!

With that said, we're happy to announce that Kelly Sundown Carpenter (Adagio, Beyond Twilight, Darkology) will be singing for us on the upcoming N. American tour with Turisas! This guy's a phenomenal singer and we can't wait to get out there and Rock! We're looking forward to our return in America. See you all soon!”
