[PRESS RELEASE]
FIREWIND recently made waves across the US once again with their stellar new disc 'Days of Defiance' and the ensuing headline tour that rocked the states alongside Powerglove and The Absence. Now, as GUS G treks across North America playing with the icon OZZY OSBOURNE, he will take a break from his busy schedule and host tonight's edition of Headbangers Ball on MTV2.

Tune in to hear the story of how GUS G got his start in metal all the way to playing arenas alongside metal's most infamous madman. You'll also see videos from FIREWIND as well as GUS G's biggest influences such as Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy and more! To view a clip of what you will see tonight, visit MTV's official website.

Headbangers Ball airs tonight (technically, Tuesday morning) at 3AM Eastern on MTV2.

Greek power metal juggernauts FIREWIND will be releasing their 6th studio album "Days Of Defiance" on October 23rd via Century Media Records.

The band posted a 52 second teaser for their upcoming single for the song "World On Fire" that oozes with Gus G.'s killer riffing, and only makes me wonder what the hell would he be capable of bringing to the table for an Ozzy record. I don't know if Ozzy will be doing another record after this one (Scream), or will he just quit touring, and continue releasing studio albums, with the Ozz-man nothing is ever sure. Plus, while scientists are trying to find out how Ozzy managed to live to see 60, after all the drug abuse he's been through, we can focus on the upcoming Firewind album.

"Days Of Defiance" will be released internationally on October 25th and October 26th in the U.S.
