Internationally acclaimed guitarist, composer, and FIREWIND mastermind Gus G. releases his fifth solo album ‚Steel Burner‘ today, April 24, 2026. Marking his first solo offering in five years, the record delivers a blistering fusion of modern instrumental metal and carefully curated vocal collaborations with some of heavy music’s most legendary voices.
To herald the album’s arrival, Gus G. has dropped a powerhouse new single and accompanying video for „Dancing With Death,“ featuring the unmistakable, commanding vocals of former ICED EARTH and current ASHES OF ARES frontman Matt Barlow. An epic metal track with a contemporary edge, „Dancing With Death“ explores the dark, gripping theme of addiction.

The track is also available for streaming from all major platforms now.
Gus himself comments:
„My new solo album has finally arrived and now it’s yours! To celebrate this big day, I wanted to drop yet another new video, this one from my collaboration with the one & only Matt Barlow of Iced Earth & Ashes of Ares fame.
Matt’s vocal style is unique and will definitely remind you of those 90s Iced Earth vibes. But make no mistake – this is a power metal track with today’s energy, aggression and passion, forged in the here and now, and one that hopefully will stand the test of time. Enjoy!“
