<p><b>Firewind</b> is a Greek <a href="Power_metal" title="Power metal">power metal</a> band formed in <a href="Thessaloniki" title="Thessaloniki">Thessaloniki</a> in 1998. The group is currently signed to <a href="AFM_Records" title="AFM Records">AFM records</a> and was originally a small project created by guitarist <a href="Gus_G." class="mw-redirect" title="Gus G.">Gus G.</a> to showcase his <a href="Demo_(music)" title="Demo (music)">demo</a>, <i><a href="Nocturnal_Symphony" title="Nocturnal Symphony">Nocturnal Symphony</a></i>, in 1998. Firewind later became a full band over three years later when they recorded their debut album, <i><a href="Between_Heaven_and_Hell_(album)" title="Between Heaven and Hell (album)">Between Heaven and Hell</a></i>. To date, the band has released ten studio albums and has been met with international success.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_history">Early history</h3></div>
<p>The band began in 1998 when the young Greek <a href="Gus_G." class="mw-redirect" title="Gus G.">Gus G.</a> decided to record a demo on a 4-track recorder with some close musician friends in the United States as Gus "briefly attended <a href="Berklee_College_of_Music" title="Berklee College of Music">Berklee College of Music</a> in Boston".<sup id="cite_ref-guitarhoo_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-guitarhoo-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The project was entitled Firewind, and was used as a showcase for Gus' guitar skills in an attempt to earn a professional recording deal.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Gus G. was quoted as saying, "Firewind, the second <a href="Electric_Sun" title="Electric Sun">Electric Sun</a> album, that's where I got the band name from."<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://soundcloud.com/user-90858124/ryan-91818-gus-g">R.Y.A.N. - Season 2, Episode 4: Gus G.</a> The demo attracted the attention of Leviathan Records, but activity was put on hold when Gus was hired by <a href="Nightrage" title="Nightrage">Nightrage</a>, <a href="Dream_Evil" title="Dream Evil">Dream Evil</a>, and <a href="Mystic_Prophecy" title="Mystic Prophecy">Mystic Prophecy</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Between_Heaven_and_Hell"><i>Between Heaven and Hell</i></h3></div>
<p>After the release of his other bands' debut albums, Gus' attention returned to the Firewind project. Only he remained from the original formation - Leviathan owner <a href="David_T._Chastain" class="mw-redirect" title="David T. Chastain">David T. Chastain</a> brought in vocalist <a href="Stephen_Fredrick" class="mw-redirect" title="Stephen Fredrick">Stephen Fredrick</a> and drummer Brian Harris (both formerly of Kenziner), while Gus enlisted the help of bassist <a href="Kostas_Exarhakis" class="mw-redirect" title="Kostas Exarhakis">Konstantine</a>. This line-up recorded the debut album <i><a href="Between_Heaven_and_Hell_(album)" title="Between Heaven and Hell (album)">Between Heaven and Hell</a></i>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Burning_Earth"><i>Burning Earth</i></h3></div>
<p>In 2003, new changes were instituted as drummer Stian Kristoffersen and bassist <a href="Petros_Christo" title="Petros Christo">Petros Christo</a> joined the band. Harris and Konstantine had been replaced as Gus was looking for a more permanent <a href="Rhythm_section" title="Rhythm section">rhythm section</a> that was prepared to tour. This lineup recorded <i><a href="Burning_Earth" title="Burning Earth">Burning Earth</a></i> and went on a tour of Japan with <a href="Rob_Rock" title="Rob Rock">Rob Rock</a>, but without vocalist Fredrick, who was not prepared to go on the road (despite prior guarantees to the contrary). At their October 2007 show at <a href="ProgPower_USA" title="ProgPower USA">ProgPower USA</a>, the band briefly reunited with Fredrick for a few songs off their first two albums.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Forged_by_Fire"><i>Forged by Fire</i></h3></div>
<p>Fredrick's replacement on the Burning the Earth Tour, singer <a href="Chitral_Somapala" title="Chitral Somapala">Chitral "Chity" Somapala</a>, was given the job full-time. Fellow touring member <a href="Bob_Katsionis" title="Bob Katsionis">Bob Katsionis</a> was also hired permanently to play keyboards. Firewind got a worldwide deal with <a href="Century_Media" class="mw-redirect" title="Century Media">Century Media</a> by the end of that year.
</p><p>A few months after <i><a href="Forged_By_Fire" class="mw-redirect" title="Forged By Fire">Forged By Fire</a></i> was released, Chitral left due to personal and musical differences with the rest of the band. When his replacement, <a href="Apollo_Papathanasio" title="Apollo Papathanasio">Apollo Papathanasio</a> (of <a href="Time_Requiem" title="Time Requiem">Time Requiem</a>), was found, it was also announced that Kristoffersen would be leaving, to be replaced by <a href="United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">British</a> drummer <a href="Mark_Cross_(musician)" title="Mark Cross (musician)">Mark Cross</a>. The reason for the split was that Gus wanted to have a set of Greek-based musicians willing to make Firewind their number one priority (probably to end the virtual <a href="Revolving_door" title="Revolving door">revolving door</a> of members) and Stian's main band was the Norwegian outfit <a href="Pagan's_Mind" title="Pagan's Mind">Pagan's Mind</a>. Gus also left his roles in Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy and <a href="Nightrage" title="Nightrage">Nightrage</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Allegiance_and_The_Premonition"><i>Allegiance</i> and <i>The Premonition</i></h3></div>
