Melodic Metallers FIREWIND have successfully wrapped up the calendar year 2012 with 4 packed club-shows in their native Greece (Two nights in Thessaloniki and 2 nights in Athens), commencing the celebration of the band's 10th Anniversary of existence. Additionally, and right before the end of the year festivities, FIREWIND also entered studios in order to mix recordings from their "Few Against Many" live-campaign last year for an upcoming live-album, scheduled to be released before the summer of 2013. Look out for more details soon...
Expanding FIREWIND's live agenda for 2013, the band is next headed out on a North American tour with Turisas and Stolen Babies and has most recently also confirmed appearances at this year's editions of Summer Breeze festival (Germany), PPM Fest (Belgium) and Rock In Den Ruinen festival (Germany).

The iconic album's artwork was once again created by FIREWIND's longtime partner in all design matters, Gustavo Sazes / www.abstrata.net (Arch Enemy, Angra, Dream Evil, etc.). While the album's standard version is available in the CD format as well as LP and also as Digital Download, "Few Against Many" is also released as limited edition Digipak CD with two bonus tracks.
