\nTexas-based \u201csuper metal\u201d quartet IMMORTAL GUARDIAN \u2013 whose founding member, Gabriel Guardian, has earned extensive notoriety for his ability to shred on guitar and keyboard simultaneously \u2013 has signed with M-Theory Audio.<\/p>\n
Hailing from the same state as guitar greats Dimebag Darrell and Stevie Ray Vaughan, IMMORTAL GUARDIAN proudly fly the flag of musical innovation and virtuosity for the Lone Star State. Over the past few years, the group has released two acclaimed EPs, \u201cRevolution Part I\u201d (produced by Roy Z of Halford\/Bruce Dickinson fame) and \u201cSuper Metal: Edition Z,\u201d that showcased a full-frontal metal assault of anthemic melodies, technical rhythms, furious shred and high-flying vocals by Brazilian singer Carlos Zema (Outworld).<\/p>\n
In support of their EPs, the group has made jaws drop on stages in not only their home state \u2013 where they’ve performed alongside some of the biggest names in metal, including Judas Priest, Dragonforce, Kamelot, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Slayer, Metal Church, Soilwork and Steve Vai \u2013 but also abroad in countries such as Brazil and Russia, and during high-profile performances at ESPN’s X Games, South By Southwest and the Fun Fun Fun Fest. Live footage shot during the band’s SXSW showcase last month can be viewed at this location<\/a>.<\/p>\n In addition, Gabriel Guardian has developed an extensive following on YouTube, where his unique dual-instrument covers of classics by the likes of Iron Maiden, Pantera and Guns N’ Roses have garnered hundreds of thousands of views. His virtuosity was also recently showcased on the MTV program \u201cAmazingness\u201d (watch a clip here<\/a>). This summer, Gabriel will tour North America extensively as a guest member of video game metal icons PowerGlove. The tour includes a stop at Austin’s Come and Take It Live in August, where IMMORTAL GUARDIAN will also perform.<\/p>\n \u201cAt NAMM a couple years back, I met Gabriel and his manager Brett through the Exmortus and Havok guys. I was immediately caught off-guard by someone who could shred on two instruments at once and have eyed IMMORTAL GUARDIAN ever since,\u201d explains label founder Marco Barbieri. \u201cWith M-Theory Audio in place and the band finalizing a new record the time is now and I\u2019m pleased to make the announcement and work with such gifted musicians and join their creative team to spread the word.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very happy to announce IMMORTAL GUARDIAN’s signing with M-Theory Audio and the start of our next epic chapter,\u201d Gabriel says. \u201cMarco Barbieri and his team have been accumulating a serious roster, and with a track record like his, we are definitely honored to be joining the family. Looking forward to all the good times ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n More information on the new IMMORTAL GUARDIAN album will be revealed in the coming months.<\/p>\n
