There's a track on the record that's a little bit synth-wave, there's bluesy ballad thing, there's a track that has more prog elements, there's some power metal, so it's all under the hard rock / heavy metal umbrella, but I wanted it to have some variety. "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. "As an artist nowadays, you can basically do whatever you like and there's an audience out there for it," he says.

It's an approach he takes with every album he makes, but if heavy metal is considered a niche market doing an instrumental album is an even smaller corner of that. Gus agrees with the suggestion that one has to make an instrumental album for him or herself if people happen to enjoy it, that's a plus. "It was more of a case of, 'What else is there?' I needed the creative outlet." "I didn't make 'Quantum Leap' with the intention of it being the next one in the cycle of solo albums," Gus admits. Immobilized by the quarantine measures that kept him at home, Gus began compiling musical ideas to keep himself occupied, which led to the full-on effort to write and record an album during the summer of 2021.

"Quantum Leap" came together over the course of the worldwide pandemic that, unfortunately, prevented FIREWIND's self-titled album from 2020 from gaining any real momentum. The official music video for the disc's latest single, "Enigma Of Life", can be seen below. Greek guitar virtuoso Gus G., well known in rock and metal circles for his work as Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist and as leader of his own band FIREWIND, will release a new solo album, "Quantum Leap", on October 8 via AFM Records.
