Gus G. (Firewind, ex-Ozzy) Posts Video for “Into the Unknown”

Guitarist Gus G., best known for his work with Firewind and as Ozzy’s guitarist for a number of years, just released his new solo album, Quantum Leap, on October 8 via AFM (order here). That arrived with a music video for the album track “Into the Unknown,” which you can watch below.

Speaking on the album as a whole, which he recorded during quarantine, Gus explains:

“As an artist nowadays, you can basically do whatever you like and there’s an audience out there for it. Instrumental music might not be a big seller, but everybody and can listen to anything, and there are no limits to what I can do. There’s a track on the record that’s a little bit synth-wave (“Night Driver”), there’s bluesy ballad thing (“Enigma Of Life”), there’s a track that has more prog elements (“Into The Unknown”), there’s some power metal (“Demon Stomp”, “Judgement Day”), so it’s all under the hard rock / heavy metal umbrella, but I wanted it to have some variety. It doesn’t sound like I wrote 10 different riffs on the low E string and put a bunch of solos over it. And there’s no excuse for anybody to say, ‘I like the music but I hate that type vocals…’ because there are no vocals (laughs).”
