Gus G. - Steel Burner (CD) Digipack

GUS G., guitarist of FIREWIND fame, with his first solo effort in five years is back. "Nothing Can Break Me" sees the German metal queen DORO (v) and  "Dancing With Death" surprises with Matt Barlow (ex-ICED EARTH) on vocals. Additional guests are Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW) und Dino Jelusick (u.a. ex ANIMAL DRIVE, ELUSICK). Of course, we rather talk a pure metal album here, but one with not only brilliant guitars as one can excpect but also respectable and decent songwriting in general. The production, too, is truely a good one. "Steel Burner" is hot. (MS)
