Gus further describes his excitement over his NAMM appearance and the album’s US release:
“ESP launched my new signature models and the response from the guitar-heads and fans was great! On Saturday, I did a signing session with one of my heroes, Michael Wilton (QUEENSRŸCHE), and Will Adler (LAMB OF GOD), which was a lot of fun as were the crazy parties that went on every night at the hotel bar!I am very excited to announce that our new album, Allegiance, is now available in the US. The response from the press is really amazing! Our music finally has good US distribution and promotion. All you have to do is go to your local record store, get a copy and pledge your Allegiance.
There’s plenty of tour dates coming in 2007, and they definitely involve a U.S. tour as well. Stay tuned for more info, and thanks for the support.”
