After he got a lot of experience touring with great groups as Arch Enemy, Dream Evil, Nightrage and playing next to musicians such as Michael Ammott, Gus G. decided to put a stop in all of these and lead his personal band to a higher level. He called in Firewind an experienced drummer, Mark Cross, and the very talented, former singer of Time Requiem, Apollo. The result that we have is very good. "Allegiance" is a very good heavy metal album with some hard rock points, which bring to your mind groups like Whitesnake and Scorpions. The sound is exceptional, the songs differ one from another, but don't deviate from the basic idea of the album. There are heavy/power songs, as the homonym and "Dreamchaser", hard rock as "Ready to Strike" and ‘Where Do We Go from Here?". At "Breaking the Silence" Tara, a pop singer from Holland, participates in vocals, making a duet with Apollo (this song is one of the best moments of this album). Gus G. doesn't demonstrate his abilities and let in some cases the keys stars, except the established instrumental ("Before the Storm"). Finally, their new album is more melodic than the previous "Forged by Fire" as, a matter of my opinion, the voice of Apollo suits more than this of Somapala.
