<\/a><\/p>\nThe second solo album of Gus has a lot of good songs and the quality can be compared with\u00a0those on\u00a0his first album ‘I Am the Fire’ (2014). The big star is of course the man himself. His excellent guitar riffs and solos are first league and he shows that immediately in the only instrumental opening track “The Quest”.<\/p>\n
But a good album can’t lean on good guitar-parts and shreds alone. Gus\u00a0does write good songs and you can hear that he\u00a0learns from playing with Ozzy.\u00a0Besides that there is a lot variety in the several tracks. The next step\u00a0for a good album is a good vocalist and with 4 different singers he succeeded. What to\u00a0think of\u00a0Mats Lev\u00e9n on track 9,10 and 12, Jeff Scott Soto on 7 and 11, Elize Ryd on the 5th song and finally Jacob Bunton singing on the rest.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0album is perhaps\u00a0a tad\u00a0heavier than the debut album, but that works for me. Besides the leaning towards (power) metal kind of tracks there are more modern\u00a0tracks like “What Lies Below”, which reminds me a bit of Delain. The song “One More Try”\u00a0is a\u00a0track that seems to be written for a Ozzy album. A\u00a0softer song with vocals in\u00a0typical Ozzy style. A much heavier song follows, with brilliant vocals of Mats and nice heavy riffing of Gus. That Gus hails from Greece and that he is aware of the problems\u00a0going on in his country is shown in\u00a0“Generation G”. A song with lyrics about the\u00a0Greek youth, emigrating from their country.<\/p>\n
Our rating here at the PowerofMetal is on a scale of 0 – 10 devils. I give this album 8 devils, but thats actually a bit too low, but 9 devils would be a bit too much, so you can surplus the 8 devils\u00a0with a half.<\/p>\n
