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 G. will be attending the 2014 NAMM convention, which runs January 23rd - 26th, in Anaheim, CA. In addition to signing sessions at ESP Guitars (January 24th, 2 PM) and Blackstar Amps (January 25th, 1 PM), Gus will also appear as guest at the RANDY RHOADS Remembered tribute concert at The Observatory in Santa Ana, January 25th.

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 Leven (CANDLEMASS, 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).

I Am The Fire was mixed by Jay Ruston (ANTHRAX, STONE SOUR) and was recorded between Los Angeles and Gus' home country of Greece through the latter half of 2013. A few of the album's tracks include 'Eyes Wide Open', 'Redemption', 'End Of The Line' and 'Blame It On Me'. The album showcases a well-balanced mix of active rock, classic hard rock, traditional metal and guitar-driven instrumentals, taking listeners on a diverse journey and opening doors to GUS G.'s soulful playing.

The album's first commercial single - title track 'I Am The Fire' - will be released digitally February 25th in North America.
