Immortal Guardian - 'Perfect Person' (music video)
One day when the sun didn’t rise
A painful truth was realized
We traced our lives around his words
On our needs we were praying
True colors showed one day
All morals were abandoned
In a human world there is no perfect person
At least our heroes did their best
The satisfaction from a perfect life ain’t worth it
A fallen icon’s laid to rest
For how long did we sing those songs?
Before we realized he was wrong
You can burn our books and take our guns
But evil will always be there
You’ll never see it if your eyes are never open
The story ends how it begins
A rainy sunday morning
A mortal man with mortal sin found demons woken
In a human world there is no perfect person
At least our heroes did their best
The satisfaction from a perfect life ain’t worth it
A fallen icon’s laid to rest
In a human world there is no perfect person
At least our heroes did their best
The satisfaction from a perfect life ain’t worth it
A fallen icon’s laid to rest
Laid to rest
Laid to rest

Οι Immortal Guardian δημιουργήθηκαν στο Τέξας (ΗΠΑ) πριν από δεκατέσσερα χρόνια. Αρέσκονται στο -Ευρωπαϊκού κυρίως τύπου- power metal και αναφέρουν ως επιρροές συγκροτήματα όπως οι:
Iron Maiden, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Helloween, Kamelot, Judas Priest, Rhapsody, Dragonforce, Avantasia, Angra, Tribe of Gypsies, Hibria, Edguy, Sonata Arctica, Children of Bodom, Into Eternity.
Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο demos, τρία EPs, δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("Age of Revolution" 2018, "Psychosomatic" 2021) και μπόλικα singles. Το 2022 επικοινωνούν την μουσική τους μέσω singles. Τέσσερα έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μέχρι τώρα ("Ozona", "Echoes", "Southern Rain" και "Perfect Person") τα οποία προετοιμάζουν το έδαφος για τον τρίτο δίσκο της μπάντας υπό τον τίτλο "Unite and Conquer". Εστιάζουμε στο τέταρτο (και πλέον πρόσφατο)...
Gabriel Guardian: «I grew up in a very religious Mexican family. It was a big part of our lives, especially every Sunday morning when we went to church. But one day, our pastor had a heart attack while in the middle of a sexual act cheating on his wife and died right there in the church after-hours.
It was absolutely bonkers and I remember it really stirred up the moral point-of-views in our tiny Texas town. We stopped going to church after that and really started questioning why we were there to begin with.
You see, some Christians had such a bad taste of the church that they left religion altogether and felt lied to and deceived, while others said the Christian thing to do would be to forgive him and move on and find another church.
It was super interesting to grow up and watch both sides of this play out. This made a very interesting topic to write about and it definitely fueled the spark for ‘Perfect Person.’ At the end of the day, it is about NOT over idolizing and over glorifying religious figures, politicians, celebrities, even musicians, and the like.
I wonder if that pastor had just lived his life and died a non-religious man, nobody would have been bothered, but because everyone sought this man’s advice every week, got baptized by him, got married by him, and put his words and lifestyle on a pedestal, it made it that much more devastating.
Everyone can pin a local ‘icon’ in their minds as a perfect figure that could do no wrong and preach endless golden words when in fact, he is just a mortal man with mortal sin.»

Δελτίο τύπου: As Power/Progressive Metal band Immortal Guardian continue building their next opus, the group issues “Perfect Person” as the fourth sample of their new work.
Recording independently and remotely the quartet is assembling the follow-up to 2021’s successful ‘Psychosomatic’ track-by-track and sharing the material as it completes, along with visually captivating music videos, that again the self-contained group produce themselves.
Heavy topics are not unfamiliar to Immortal Guardian whose previous album focused on the Covid pandemic, likely the first full album to be thematically linked to the disease and its effect on the globe and its people. In the past year, Immortal Guardian have revealed three brand new songs - “Ozona,” “Echoes” and “Southern Rain” forming a basis for their next conceptual piece.
The band will continue to share new material as the creative process proceeds building up to a follow-up full-length traditional album planned for 2023. More info will be released by Immortal Guardian and M-Theory Audio in the weeks and months to follow, including new tour dates.
