│║        June 24th 2013 was a very important day for the         ║ │
│║        Greek melodic power metal band Firewind as their        ║ │
│║        earthshaking live album Apotheosis was released         ║ │
│║        via Century Media Records. It contains 17 songs         ║ │
│║        (19 on the digital format) taken from their 7           ║ │
│║        studio albums to celebrate their 10th                   ║ │
│║        anniversary. Apotheosis was recorded on their           ║ │
│║        æFew Against ManyÆ European tour including 4            ║ │
│║        high profile concerts in their home country.            ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Apotheosis must be a bitter sweet release for           ║ │
│║        Firewind fans as vocalist Apollo Papathanasio           ║ │
│║        left the band at the end of 2012 and his current        ║ │
│║        replacement is Kelly Sundown Carpenter so this          ║ │
│║        will be his final release with them. Firewind           ║ │
│║        are getting a bit more recognition due to their         ║ │
│║        lead guitarist Gus G playing guitar for Ozzy            ║ │
│║        Osbourne as well but the rest of Firewind are no        ║ │
│║        slouches either and Apotheosis gives them their         ║ │
│║        platform to shine, especially the keyboard runs         ║ │
│║        of Bob Katsionis and his interplays with Gus G          ║ │
│║        are breathtaking!                                       ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Apotheosis has a running time of 70 minutes and         ║ │
│║        Gus GÆs guitar histrionics are the first thing          ║ │
│║        we hear as his fretboard acrobatics introduce           ║ │
│║        album opener Head Up High which hurtles along           ║ │
│║        like Hungry For Heaven by Dio until it reaches a        ║ │
│║        huge chorus. Crowd interraction is a very               ║ │
│║        important part of the Firewind experience and           ║ │
│║        Apotheosis has a very raw feel with the crowd           ║ │
│║        high in the mix. 17 songs may seem an overly            ║ │
│║        long listen but the 70 minutes rushes by and            ║ │
│║        will have you pressing the play key straight            ║ │
│║        away! Other standout tracks are Wall Of Sound,a         ║ │
│║        mid paced rocker with stabbing guitar riffs,lush        ║ │
│║        keyboards backed by some solid drumming from Jo         ║ │
│║        Nunez.s                                                 ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Few Against Many,which is the title track of            ║ │
│║        their current studio album is a chugging drum           ║ │
│║        driven headbanger which leads into a brief piano        ║ │
│║        solo intro to Heading For The Dawn,a                    ║ │
│║        guitar/keyboard drenched number. Losing My Mind         ║ │
│║        is a 6 minute long epic,striding power ballad           ║ │
│║        which is followed by World On Fire,its riff             ║ │
│║        alone makes it my highlight of the album! Gus G         ║ │
│║        gets his solo spot next which leads into SKG,a 5        ║ │
│║        minute instrumental which Firewind thrash out,          ║ │
│║        firing on all cylinders.                                ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Edge Of A Dream is the lightest song on the             ║ │
│║        album but still packs a punch as a piano backed         ║ │
│║        vocal is joined by some laid back guitar work           ║ │
│║        from Gus G with the crowd singing the song word         ║ │
│║        for word. Crowd interaction once again comes to         ║ │
│║        the fore on Mercenary Man as they sing along to         ║ │
│║        the Thin Lizzy style intro music. The final             ║ │
│║        track Falling To Pieces closes the album in             ║ │
│║        style with some keyboard heavy classic pomp             ║ │
│║        rock.                                                   ║ │
