Between Heaven and Hell (Album)

Overview
Between Heaven and Hell is Firewind's first album released on July 30, 2002 in Europe, USA, Japan, and South America, by Massacre Records, Leviathan Records, EMI and Rock Brigade respectively. The European, American and Japanese cover art (bottom) is different. The European cover art (top) is known to be by Kristian Wåhlin. (We have no picture of the American cover art whatsoever, we would like to see it here)

The album was re-released on October 10, 2007 with two bonus tracks; "Fire", and "Destination Forever" as tracks 14 and 15. Track 13 included "End of an Era", which was originally only available as the bonus track in the Japanese release.

Between Heaven and Hell has also been made available on iTunes with all the tracks included in the 2007 CM re-release.

Equipment
==== The equipment used to record "Between Heaven and Hell" has been recorded in some detail by Gus in 2009 on the Firewind Forums: ====

" Instead of hearing rumours, maybe I can tell you how it was recorded (smile.gif)                                                Basically because there was no budget at all, I recorded all guitars in my room on my Boss 8 track recorder. The amp I used was a Fender rockpro (I think it was called like that) combo, which is one of their high gain amps. That distortion was pretty good.

At the time I lived on the 5th floor, so you can imagine how everyone that lived below me, felt! I was playing loud nonstop for a couple of weeks, recording my guitar parts!! (headbob.gif)

Finally, that guitar tone definitely has a unique and "different" character but its definitely not the best. if u wanna hear some really KILLER guitar tone, check out "The Premonition" (beerbang.gif)
