Gus G announces solo album, signs deal with Century Media
Greek God and shred master Gus G (Ozzy/Firewind) announced the release of his solo album yesterday which is due out in spring 2014. This comes as great news to fans. Ironically, earlier this week I sent him a tweet asking him about the progress of the album to which he responded “announcement coming VERY soon!” I had no idea he meant this soon. The album is titled “I Am the Fire” and was described as “a beast” by Gus himself. It was recorded between the U.S and his home country of Greece, and mixed by Jay Ruston who has worked with bands such as Steel Panther and Anthrax. There has been no say on when or what single will be released, but 3 songs “Redemption”, “End of the Line” and “Blame it on me” were named as tracks. "Loyalty is a very important thing in the music business, and for me it just felt natural to trust my first solo effort to the hands of the record company that has been loyal, supportive, and has helped build my career for more than 11 years now
