US Metal Heavy Weights IMMORTAL GUARDIAN Sign to Massacre Records for European Album Release of “Unite And Conquer”

IMMORTAL GUARDIAN has inked a label deal with Massacre Records, who will proudly release the band’s forthcoming, new album “Unite And Conquer”, on December 1, 2023! Available as Jewel Case CD, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the album will be exclusively released in Europe via the Geman record label.

Gabriel Guardian states: “Immortal Guardian is thrilled to unite forces with our first European record label: Massacre Records! We look forward to bringing our Super Metal sound to European metalheads with a legendary label. We can’t wait to see what the future holds!”

With their third full-length album, “Unite And Conquer”, IMMORTAL GUARDIAN took new direction with their writing process and overall sound on the album. While trying new things, they also kept a taste of their classic sound in the process. This opus showcases a revolutionary sound, fusing heavier and more melodic elements into their “Super Metal” tapestry. IMMORTAL GUARDIAN‘s signature “Super Metal” sound is an exploration of the metal spectrum, seamlessly blending elements of progressive, power, tech-death, and symphonic shred.

Give ear, as today, the band has unleashed their first album single, the CD bonus track “Rise Of The Phoenix”! A music video, only available in Europe, is now streaming at:

“This is a heartwarming tribute to Gabriel’s mother, conveying her challenging upbringing and the resilience she embodies,” the band reveals. “These lyrics paint a vivid picture of a childhood marked by hardship and sacrifice, with a sense of isolation and struggle. Despite the adversities she faces, the lyrics carry a message of hope and transformation, likening her to a phoenix rising from the ashes. The chorus powerfully encapsulates her strength and determination to overcome, emphasizing her ability to soar higher and stronger, even in the face of adversity. Overall, these words beautifully capture the theme of resilience and triumph in the face of adversity, dedicated to his mother’s inspiring journey.

This track is a massive build up and when you think it has gotten to the maximum, it will still surprise you. Remarkable vocal melodies with a very heavy sound, orchestrations and very low riffs fulfill a huge massive and harmonic colossus. This song is very riff-heavy as well as features one of the most beautiful guitar and keyboard themes on the album. We could not see a better song to close “Unite And Conquer”.”

During the making of this album, all band members were going through some crazy experiences in their lives, that reflects in the music, according to Gabriel Guardian: “Like we did during our ‘Psychosomatic’ album, we were writing these songs in real-time as we lived through these major events in the world and in our personal lives”, he states.

“Unite And Conquer” lyrically traverses a multifaceted emotional journey from introspection and self-discovery that passionately calls for unity and change. Vocalist Carlos Zema adds: “The poetic verses entwine seamlessly with the captivating melodies, delivering a musical narrative that resonates with the listener on a profound level, leaving an indelible mark on the heart and soul. With a simple message: This is the time to ‘Unite and Conquer’.”

Slated for a release, exclusively in Europe via Massacre Records, on December 1, 2023, the pre-sale of “Unite And Conquer” is now available at THIS LOCATION!

“Unite And Conquer” was mixed and mastered by Joshua Lopez at Widowmaker Studios, and features guest appearances by Vicky Psarakis (The Agonist) and Primal Fear’s Ralf Scheepers. The album artwork was created by Masiha Fattahi.
