GUS G: Premieres New Song ‘The Quest’

Guitar virtuoso GUS G has premiered new song ‘The Quest’ on guitarworld.com. The song is from the Ozzy Osbourne/Firewind guitarist’s new solo album, “Brand New Revolution”, which will be released on July 24th. It’s the followup to his 2014 solo debut, “I Am the Fire”. Check out ‘The Quest’ at this location.

“‘The Quest’ is the only instrumental of the album and it’s a heavy, high-energy, technical track,” Gus says. “You hear lots of sides of my playing, not only the technical leads and heavy riffing, but melodies and even acoustic. Lots of stuff jam-packed into this song, but somehow it all comes together nicely.”

“The rest of the album features collaborations with some awesome singers/songwriters such as Jeff Scott Soto (‘Gone to Stay,’ ‘Generation G’), Mats Levén (‘Come Hell or High Water,’ ‘If It Ends Today,’ ‘The Demon Inside’), Jacob Bunton (‘Brand New Revolution,’ ‘Burn,’ ‘We Are One,’ ‘Behind Those Eyes,’ ‘One More Try’) and Elize Ryd of Amaranthe (‘What Lies Below’).

“Let’s face it, getting to be on the cover of Guitar World is every guitar player’s dream,” Gus adds. “I’m fortunate enough to grace GW cover for the second time; the first time with Ozzy in 2010) together with one of the best metal guitarists of our time, Chris Broderick. It’s such a big honor. We had a great time doing the photo shoot with Chris and also hanging and jamming. He’s a monstrous player and I’m glad to see him forging his own path with his new band, Act of Defiance.”
