Gus G. will be releasing his highly anticipated new album, Fearless, on April 20th via AFM Records. Today the guitar virtuoso has teamed up with Loudwire to premiere the first video off the upcoming record, and you can enjoy the rifftastic ‘Letting Go’ clip below!
On Fearless, Gus joins forces with vocalist/bassist Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69, UNISONIC) and drummer Will Hunt (EVANESCENCE).
“Dennis and I have collaborated very closely for a number years; he produced the current FIREWIND album, ‘Immortals’, among other things,” Gus described his relationship with the multitalented Ward. “We’re on the same musical wavelength and simply continued our cooperation after the FIREWIND production. I sent him demos of and ideas for my new songs and once we had enough material and started to think about vocalists, Dennis suggested recording the album as a trio.A lot of people don’t realize that Dennis is not only a brilliant songwriter, bassist and producer, but also an excellent singer. I immediately liked his suggestion because this would be very different from everything else I’ve done before.”
Gus said this on Will Hunt: “Will was at the very top of my wish list. Fate smiled on me because we played at the Frankfurt music fair 2017 during my tour with Steve Stevens, and Will stayed at the same hotel. So I approached him, we talked for a while and he agreed. Last August he came to the studio and recorded the drum parts for the whole album within two and a half days. A real pro with a great groove and an awesome punch.”
