Biography
The demo attracted the attention of Leviathan Records, but activity was put on hold when Gus was hired by Dream Evil and Mystic Prophecy.
After the release of his other bands’ debut albums, Gus’ attention returned to the Firewind project. Only he remained from the original formation - Leviathan owner David T. Chastain brought in vocalist Stephen Fredrick and drummer Brian Harris (both ex-KenZiner), while Gus enlisted the help of bassist Konstantine, a fellow Greek. this line-up recorded the debut album Between Heaven and Hell.
In 2003, new changes were instituted as Norwegian drummer Stian Kristoffersen and Greek bassist Petros Christo joined the band. Harris and Konstantine had been replaced as Gus was looking for a more permanent rhythm section that was prepared to tour. This line-up recorded Burning Earth and went on a tour of Japan with Rob Rock, but without vocalist Stephen Fredrick, who was not prepared to go on the road (despite prior guarantees to the contrary). His replacement on the Burning the Earth Tour, the Sri Lankan singer Chitral ‘Chity’ Somapala, was given the job full-time.

Hey, Apollo fans, I'd like to recommend you new Spiritual Beggars album "Earth Blues". Apollo is singing his ass off in this one. ;) And try some Evil Masquerade, if you haven't already. ;)

So upset about Apollo leaving. He's the reason I got into Firewind. I didn't like the vocals on the older albums. I hope they don't get a horrible new vocalist in. I normally dislike power metal, but Apollo's vocals are top notch. Gutted!

I thought that since the Alliance album the line up would finally be stable. I'm not saying that the new singer won't do a good job, but it sucks when a band changes their lead singer so often.

Apollo has a pretty cool guest spot on Kamelot's Silverthorn, providing some vocals for the limited edition bonus track "Grace".
