Guitarist Gus G., known for his work as Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist and as leader of his own band Firewind, proudly announces the March 18, 2014, release of his debut solo album I Am the Fire in North America. The album will be released internationally on Century Media Records, and will come out March 17 in Europe.
The first song from the album can be heard and watched in the video player above. It’s the album’s opening track, “My Will Be Done (featuring Mats Levén),” which was produced by Patric Ullaeus /revolver.se (Within Temptation, In Flames, Lacuna Coil).
About the track and the album, Gus G. said:
I hope you all enjoy the first taste of things to come. ‘My Will Be Done’ is a cool rock track with a modern edge to it… Looking back, I can’t believe all the great musicians that got on board for this album. Everybody brought in their unmistakable style and talent and they really lifted the songs! Check it out and enjoy the music!
Gus handles all guitar, bass, and keyboards on I Am the Fire, and is joined by a roster of friends and guests that help bring his vision to fruition: drummers Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Devo) and Daniel Erlandsson (Arch Enemy), bassists David Ellefson (Megadeth), Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, David Lee Roth) and Marty O’Brien (Tommy Lee, We Are The Fallen), and vocalists Mats Levén (Clandesmass, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen/Therion), Blake Allison (Devour The Day), Michael Starr (Steel Panther), Alexia Rodriguez (Eyes Set To Kill), Tom S. Englund (Evergrey), Jacob Bunton (Adler), and Jeff Scott Soto (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, ex-Journey).
The album’s first commercial single — title track “I Am The Fire (featuring Devour the Day)” — will be released digitally on February 25th in North America.
