The album will be released internationally on Century Media Records and will come out March 17 in Europe.

Looking back, I can't believe all the great musicians that got on board for this album. Everybody brought in their unmistakable style and talent, and they really lifted the songs! Check it out and enjoy the music!"
Gus handles all guitar, bass and keyboards on I Am the Fire and is joined by David Ellefson, Billy Sheehan, Steel Panther's Michael Starr and more.
According to a press release, the album showcases a balanced mix of active rock, classic hard rock, traditional metal and guitar-driven instrumentals, "taking listeners on a diverse journey and opening doors to Gus G's soulful playing.
