Guitar phenom Gus G (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind) has added his signature style and soloing to one of Kamelot's new songs that will appear on the band's upcoming CD.

Kamelot guitarist Youngblood comments: "Gus and I have been talking about working together for a few years now, I first met Gus when Dream Evil played with us on the Japanese Tour in a few years back. Since then Gus' band Firewind has toured with us in Europe and Japan and we have become great friends. I have always thought Gus' style was very special and very unique, its really great to have him on the new album!"

Gus G. adds: "Kamelot is a very unique band with a sound of their own and I've always liked them. To be invited to play on their new album is an honor and jamming on their track was a lot of fun. During the time our bands toured Japan and all over Europe together, Thomas and I became good friends. I have great memories from being on the road with the guys and I'm glad I contributed to their new album."

Kamelot is coming off of a hugely successful European Tour and will be playing several major Festivals this Summer before kicking off their North American Tour. More news about the new Kamelot CD coming soon, including more special guests, video news and more.

Guitarist Gus G. decided to leave the band, the following statement from him is posted on Nightrage webiste:

"Hello friends!

Hope this message finds you all well. After long discussions with Marios we both decided that it"s best for me to stop playing with Nightrage.

The reason behind this decision is that I simply don"t have enough time these days to write, rehearse and tour with the band, whenever they decide to do so.

I"ve felt bad that I couldn"t tour 100% with Nightrage and only played selected shows. Nightrage IS an active band and needs its members to be there 100%.

The new line-up is killer and everyone gets along. I don"t wanna be the weak link. On the other hand, I need to give my own band (Firewind) full attention as well.

So from now on, we go separate ways. However, we decided to do one last show together @ Inferno festival in Oslo, Norway on April 13th. So, I"d be very happy

to see as many of you as possible that day, as I"ll descent into chaos one last time with my Nightrage brothers!

Marios, Henric, Fotis and Jimmie: I had a blast playing and making music with you, love ya!

Special thanx to all the crazy metalheads that supported and keep supporting NR!

Stay Metal,

Gus G."
