Greek power metal band Firewind are thrilled to announce the release of their new studio album, “Gods, Myths & Titans”, out on February 19th, 2027, and the first for the new label BLKIIBLK.
Led by guitar virtuoso Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, King Diamond, etc), Firewind have evolved into a powerhouse band with a devoted international fanbase and a string of acclaimed albums.
To mark the announcement, Firewind unleash the first single, “The Legend of Achilles”, available now along with a lyric video.
Gus G. stated: “We’ve wanted to make a concept album about Greek mythology for a long time, and finally we got around to it. It’s been two years in the making, and our goal was to create the most epic album in the history of the band. Adding cinematic and orchestral elements to our classic metal sound gave a whole new layer, enhancing the style of Firewind”.
“Each track is a gate to a different myth. We went all in with the visual side as well and worked with Felipe Machado who created unique artworks for every song. These are tales of power, glory, tragedy, and defiance”, he added. “Today we give you the first single and it’s about Achilles – one of the mightiest warrior legends to ever walk the earth. Turn up the volume and enter the realm of ‘Gods, Myths, & Titans’”.
The band just finished a busy summer schedule with appearances in many European festivals and will next embark on a tour across US and Canada this month, supporting Ensiferum, and also returning to ProgPower festival. All the tour dates and details are below.

With “Gods, Myths & Titans”, Firewind return with one of the strongest and most inspired albums of their career. The record also marks the return of Henning Basse behind the microphone, bringing a powerful and distinctive vocal presence that perfectly complements the band’s unmistakable sound.
The album also marks a significant new chapter for Firewind and Frontiers Label Group, as the band’s first album released through BLKIIBLK, Frontiers Label Group’s dedicated metal brand.
Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, the record unfolds as a cohesive concept-driven journey through gods, heroes and legends, giving the album an additional sense of identity and epic scope.
Exceptionally strong songwriting, memorable melodies and carefully crafted orchestral arrangements add a new dimension to Firewind’s trademark heavy metal attack, enriching the music without ever compromising its power and intensity.
Tracks such as “Firegod” and “The Legend of Achilles” are destined to become huge sing-along anthems for the band’s fans, with the kind of memorable choruses made for being shouted back from the crowd. And, as always, Gus G. delivers a phenomenal guitar performance, combining breathtaking technique with melody, emotion and his unmistakable signature style.
“Gods, Myths & Titans” is more than another great Firewind album: it stands as a major highlight in the band’s discography and one of the most exciting heavy metal releases of 2027. For Firewind and Gus G., this is a career-defining chapter.
