IMMORTAL GUARDIAN Unveils Music Video For Pandemic-Inspired Track ‘Clocks’
IMMORTAL GUARDIAN – hailed by MetalSucks as “seriously epic” – has unveiled a music video for “Clocks,” the third single from their forthcoming concept album “Psychosomatic.” The clip, which features footage from the last time the extreme progressive/power metal quartet was together before the pandemic broke out, can be viewed HERE. The song itself is now available for streaming and purchase on digital music platforms such as Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify. CD and limited-edition purple vinyl pre-orders for “Psychosomatic” – which will be released by M-Theory Audio on Feb. 12 – are available now HERE.
“No matter how hard we try to control our futures, history constantly repeats itself,” guitarist/keyboardist Gabriel Guardian says of the new single. “'Clocks' is a song about trying to break out of cycles that seem to inevitably repeat themselves.”
The video for “Clocks” features footage from the band's early production work on “Psychosomatic,” as well as clips of their experiences at last year’s NAMM convention, which was the last time the band was together prior to the pandemic. Due to subsequent lockdowns – the subject of a song and video the band released last month – “Psychosomatic” ended up being a truly multi-national record, with Gabriel remaining in Las Vegas, vocalist Carlos Zema recording his vocals from his home in Brazil, new drummer Justin Piedimonte contributing from his hometown of Montreal, Canada, and new bassist Joshua Lopez remaining in IMMORTAL GUARDIAN's native Texas.
The song and video for “Clocks” also features a dizzying dual guitar/keyboard solo from Gabriel Guardian. His uncanny ability to play guitar and keyboard simultaneously has been showcased on MTV's “Amazingness,” and 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 on YouTube. The song also captures the soaring vocal performance of Zema and the power brought to the table by new members Piedimonte and Lopez.
