“For generations, humanity has longed for a truth. The right to unite what has been divided. We long to be free from all our differences, genders, colors, nationalities, religions, beliefs and any other type of separation. This real freedom relies on our minds, in being free from all these fears, repressions, oppressions, and everything else that stops us from being united. In the name of this truth, our voice will echo endlessly – Freedom!”

This is the message and overall concept of extreme power/progressive metal band IMMORTAL GUARDIAN’s third album, ‘Unite and Conquer.’ Anticipated by fans of traditional metal, power, progressive and shred guitar, the album is preceded by a lengthy campaign of 6 digital singles with corresponding professional videos, and a national tour with the video game-inspired PowerGlove.

IMMORTAL GUARDIAN’s previous album, 2021’s ‘Psychosomatic’, the first album of any genre to fixate on the Covid pandemic, was a fan-favorite and critically lauded including Metal Temple citing its “melody and power, two things displayed in a smashing way throughout this album” and led Metal Rules to call the group “one of the most interesting bands that have emerged in recent years on the international power metal scene,” alongside further praise from the likes of MetalSucks, Metal Injection, Gear Gods, etc.

The group – founded by Gabriel Guardian, whose uncanny ability to play guitar and keyboard simultaneously has been showcased on MTV's “Amazingness” and on his unique dual-instrument covers of classics by the likes of Iron Maiden, Pantera and Guns N' Roses that have garnered hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube – began building their following through multiple self-released EPs before signing with M-Theory Audio. The band has also performed live alongside some of the biggest names in metal, including Judas Priest, Dragonforce, Kamelot, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Slayer, Marty Friedman, Metal Church, Soilwork and Steve Vai, and in countries such as Brazil and Russia, and during high-profile performances at ESPN's X Games, South By Southwest, Mad With Power Fest and Fun Fun Fun Fest.
