Guitar-wizard, Ozzy Osbourne band member and FIREWIND band-leader GUS G. continues to promote his sophomore solo effort “Brand New Revolution” from 2015 by premiering a special new video clip for the album’s instrumental opening track “The Quest” via the website of his new endorsement partners Jackson Guitars, reported Century Media.

The stunning clip was direction by Ivan Colic / iCODE Team and can be viewed here.

GUS G. checked in to comment on the clip as follows: “Today is a very exciting day for me – not only it’s the start of my Solo tour in the US (w/ Angel Vivaldi), but the premier of my new video for “The Quest”. This is a very special track, as it’s the only instrumental from my “Brand New Revolution” solo album, and it’s an over the top, high energy Metal track, with tons of shredding, big melodies and crazy arrangements. Since the album release, people have been telling me how much they’ve been enjoying this song, so I decided to make a video for it!

Working with the iCode Team in Serbia was a great experience and our goal was to make a crazy, cinematic, action packed video inspired by some of my favorite 80s cult classic films like Mad Max, Conan The Barbarian & Highlander. If you’re into any of these movies, I’m sure you’ll dig this video! Plus, is there a guitar player on this Earth that wouldn’t wanna kill bad guys with his guitar superpowers? Enjoy my friends!”

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.”
