Finally It's Here!: I Am The Fire Gus G. Album Review

Image
This album review is long overdue. Finally the highly anticipated solo album by Greek virtuoso Gus G. has arrived. Even though it’s a fresh sound from anything he’s done before, it is far from disappointing and proves that Gus is a talented and diverse musician which is rare to come by in today’s highly manufactured music industry. Even though it is different from Firewind, it does share one similarity: not one bad song is on the album. It’s perfection from start to finish and has something for everybody. “Redemption” ft.

If you are a fan of the 80’s, this album will definitely remind you of the good days, although it’s no rock n roll cliché. This album is packed full of melodies, and Bob Katsionis is king. His virtuosic guitar and keyboard skills are front and center, giving the listener an eargasm without overpowering the rest of the band. Chandler’s vocal performance is astounding. He paints the lyrical picture perfectly by singing with such emotion that makes you feel like you are a part of the song. The tracks on the album are diverse and don’t blend in together the way some albums do after the first couple minutes, and there isn’t a dull moment anywhere. It opens with “Deathrock!” which is definitely a headbanger , next is the catchy but bad ass lo...
