Gus comments: “During the recording sessions of the “Stand United” album we all wanted to record a cover song as it had been a while since we’d done that. We all love the classic gem “Talking in Your Sleep” by the Romantics and agreed unanimously to go for it. We gave it the Firewind treatment of course and it sounds bit heavier now! To celebrate the current European tour we just kicked off, we decided to drop a new video for this track featuring road footage from the first leg of our world tour, taken from our US and Japanese shows earlier this year. We hope you enjoy and hopefully you’ll catch us on tour, on what will be the last dates in support of this album cycle!”

More from Firewind:
Since more than twenty years, Firewind have enthralled heavy music fans with their exciting blend of hard rock and power metal. Razor-sharp riffs by Gus G, big hooks and solos meet the incredible vocal skills of charismatic singer Herbie Langhans (Avantasia, Radiant, Seventh Avenue, amongst others). Their latest album Stand United features nine songs produced with Dennis Ward (Magnum, Unisonic), as well as the cover of “Talking in Your Sleep.” The critically acclaimed studio offering also bears testament to the band’s sheer enthusiasm and lyrical topics that could not be more relevant. “This world seems to be getting more and more out of balance, what with environmental disasters, the pandemic, the wars currently raging all over the globe,” Gus said earlier. “In such times, it’s more important than ever for mankind to stand close together instead of fighting each other. That’s what Stand United is about!”
Firewind is:
Gus G. – Guitars
