The extreme progressive/power metal group IMMORTAL GUARDIAN, who supported guitar icon Marty Friedman on a national tour earlier this year, have confirmed their first tour of 2020 – a six-week North American trek alongside the video game-inspired group PowerGlove. A complete list of dates appears below.
The PowerGlove tour will mark the beginning of a new album cycle for IMMORTAL GUARDIAN, whose acclaimed 2018 sophomore full-length (and M-Theory Audio debut) “Age Of Revolution” was hailed by MetalSucks as “seriously epic.” The record included “Stardust,” the epic, special effects-laden music video for which combined the action-packed narrative of “Armageddon” with a telenovela-worthy love story.
Notably, the spring tour will see IMMORTAL GUARDIAN founder Gabriel Guardian doing double duty with both his band and PowerGlove, a group with which he has toured previously. Then again, Gabriel is used to multitasking, as his uncanny ability to play guitar and keyboard simultaneously has been prominently showcased on MTV and websites like Gear Gods.
“I’m so happy to be filling in on guitar/keys with my boys in PowerGlove again. The music is so fun, the fans are wonderful and the shows have a very special energy I don’t get on other metal tours,” states Gabriel Guardian. “And to do all this with my band, Immortal Guardian as direct support, I don’t think it could get any better! Looking forward to a fun tour and back-to-back sets of insane guitar/keyboard shredding every night! You definitely don’t wanna miss this tour…”
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. The group’s sound is a full-frontal assault of anthemic melodies, technical rhythms, furious shred and high-flying vocals by Brazilian vocalist Carlos Zema (ex-Outworld).
