Nocturnal Symphony was the demo album that Gus G. recorded with his friends as a showcase for his talents to attract a record deal under the pseudonym of Firewind. However Firewind wasn't formed as a band until after Gus had toured and recorded with Dream Evil, Nightrage and Mystic Prophecy almost four years later. The album has 2 unofficial covers which have proved to be the most recognisable, seeing as there are only 500 copies of the album and the original and official album cover.
