Following the release of their much-acclaimed studio output Stand United (released in March 2024 via AFM Records HERE!), lauded by both fans and music press alike, hard rock and power metal titans FIREWIND have just kicked off their European tour alongside SONATA ARCTICA, SERIOUS BLACK and TUNGSTEN! In December, they will be also joining forces again with label mates MASTERPLAN.
Now, perfect in time for the tour start (find all upcoming dates below!), the band surrounded by iconic guitarist Gus G is premiering a brand new music video for the song “Talking in Your Sleep”, a cover version of the 80s pop rock classic originally recorded by The Romantics. 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!”

Since more than twenty years, FIREWIND enthrall 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!”
