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 - a label that I truly feel as a family. Thank you Robert Kampf, Leif Jensen, Antje Lange, Don Robertson, Steve Joh, Jens Prueter, Nasrin Vahdani, Paul Gargano and the rest of the Century family! I truly feel blessed to be a part of CM history and look forward to exploring new territories with this new album!” said Gus on the signing. This is no doubt to be a killer record and a favorite to guitar lovers and Gus fans alike.

For those not familiar with his work Gus has been in bands such as Dream Evil, Mystic Prophecy and Nightrage and is now currently the guitarist of Ozzy’s solo band and his own band Firewind. Firewind just finished a small tour in Australia and has upcoming shows in Sofia, Bulgaria and Nicosia, Cyprus. For more information see also:

HMH Presents: An Interview With Blackmass Of Rotting Flesh

Image
Rotting Flesh is an underground atmospheric black/death metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece. The band formed in the early 90’s and have released multiple demos and two full length albums. I just recently found about this band via twitter, and decided to give them a listen and was far from disappointed. I have the honor of interviewing Blackmass, so without further ado, here’s Rotting Flesh in their own words: Hello how’s it going? Greetings! Very well indeed. So tell me how you guys got started. The band was formed back in 1992. Being an enthusiastic black and death metal fan myself, I wanted to do something of my own and decided to form Rotting Flesh. How did you come up with the band’s name? When the band was formed, we all gathered and had a discussion about how this endeavor of ours would be called. We came up with “Rotting Flesh”. Nothing special to add here, sorry to disappoint you! What was recording your first demo like? Th

Finally Back

It's been forever since I've updated, and this blog had pretty much died. But fear not, I have returned and decided to revive my passion. I've had some crazy times in my personal life, pretty drastic and tragic events which kept me away from here, but now things are some what stable and I am back in full force.  Moving forward... As well as album reviews, I plan on adding new content such as more interviews, concert reviews, a "band of the week" feature as well as your typical gossip and information about upcoming releases and of course, my random lists. I hope to gain a following and hopefully turn some people on to new (and old) bands, and fulfill my main goal of keeping metal alive. until next time! \m/
