\u201cOzona\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is available for download\/streaming on all digital music platforms. The band is also now more than halfway through their current nationwide tour alongside video game-inspired shredders\u00a0Powerglove<\/strong>. The full remaining tour dates are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA few years, while we were on the road, we broke down in the middle of nowhere in a lil\u2019 Texas town called Ozona,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>explains guitarist Gabriel Guardian.\u00a0\u201cWe had no way of getting home, and no money to resolve our problem. We just wished and wished we could get home somehow\u2026. While we waited, we decided to write a song about our experience because we knew that we weren\u2019t the only ones going through times like this. This song is for all the traveling souls just trying to find their way back home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMMORTAL GUARDIAN<\/strong>‘s current tour with Powerglove<\/strong> has the band once again taking the sounds of \u201cPsychosomatic\u201d<\/strong> on the road following two lengthy tours that dazzled metal fans nationwide during the second half of 2021. The album has been lauded by Metal Temple for its \u201cmelody and power, two things displayed in a smashing way throughout this album\u201d and led Metal Rules to call the group \u201cone of the most interesting bands that have emerged in recent years on the international power metal scene.\u201d Video clips for the title track<\/u><\/a>, \u201cCandlelight,\u201d<\/u><\/a> and \u201cPhobia,\u201d<\/u><\/a> the latter of which featured a guest appearance by Angra guitarist Marcelo Barbosa, have captured the ears of heavy metal fans worldwide, while their videos for \u201cClocks,\u201d \u201cLockdown\u201d and \u201cRead Between The Lines\u201d have earned praise from the likes of MetalSucks<\/u><\/a>, Metal Injection<\/u><\/a> and Gear Gods<\/u><\/a>. CD and digital editions of \u201cPsychosomatic\u201d<\/strong> are available for purchase at https:\/\/www.smarturl.com\/immortalguardian<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After making a splash via their 2018 full-length debut \u201cAge of Revolution\u201d \u2013 which featured its own fair share of creative music videos, including the \u201cArmageddon\u201d-meets-telenovela clip for \u201cStardust\u201d<\/u><\/a> \u2013 and through tours with the likes of Marty Friedman and Exmortus, IMMORTAL GUARDIAN<\/strong> gathered in Las Vegas at the beginning of 2020 to record their second album. As the spread of COVID-19 and the subsequent pandemic began to ensue, shutdowns around the world began being enforced, resulting in the band completely scrapping the record that they had been working on and writing and creating a new thematic record about their emotions surrounding current events. The resulting \u201cPsychosomatic\u201d was a truly multi-national record, with guitarist\/keyboardist Gabriel Guardian \u2013 known for his uncanny ability to play the two instruments simultaneously \u2013 remaining in Las Vegas, singer Carlos Zema recording his vocals from his home in Brazil, drummer Justin Piedimonte tracking from Montreal and bassist Joshua Lopez recording from IMMORTAL GUARDIAN<\/strong>‘s native Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly-released music video for \u201cOzona\u201d<\/strong> is but a small taste of the new territory that IMMORTAL GUARDIAN <\/strong>plans to take their sound in 2022. More information on additional new music and touring in 2022 will be revealed in the weeks to come by M-Theory Audio<\/strong> and at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/igmetal\/<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
