HELL'S GUARDIAN • Epic Melodic Death Metal • New lyric video "My Guide My Hunger"

Driven by hunger

HELL'S GUARDIAN today released a brand new lyric video for their third single, "My Guide My Hunger," from their latest album, "As Above So Below."

Guest vocalists are Adrienne Cowan of Seven Spiers and Marco Pastorino of Temperance.

Thematically, the powerful, striking and catchy song is about desperation and hope very often lying pretty close to each other.

In a richly worth listening, play-cultural high-quality intersection of Amorphis, Edge Of Sanity and In Flames, the band has musically found itself entirely.

The quartet's EPIC MELODIC DEATH METAL, which was arranged as elaborately as lovingly and often upliftingly pompous, also made its own unique, stylistically and thematically unbreakable way. 



In July 2015, the lombard hellguardians released an EP titled "Ex Adversis Resurgo", which was able to receive many positive responses.

MEDIA FEEDBACK:

90 / 100
"… competent Melodic Death metal … Certainly recommend to both Death and Symphonic Metal lovers …"
(The Belgian Metal Shredder)

9 / 10
"... aggression and energy ... coupled with a first-class sense for catchy melodies ... symphonic elements ... are here only in nuances available ... failures can not be found here, instead, one great song joins the next, for example, reminiscent of Amorphis' 'Blood Must Have Blood' ... powerful and balanced production that can easily compete with international competition ... unlimited purchase recommendation ..."
(Hellfire)

4 / 5
"… a very interesting work, which will easily find the favors of lovers of the most epic sounds … helped by a very good production … 'As Above So Below' easily passes the test of the second album."
(All Around Metal)

8,5 / 10
"… the Epic Melodic Death Metal path is maintained with some progressive winking to Amorphis … a good album, varied, no weak songs … quite enjoyable and deserved to be checked."
(Sounds From Apocalypse)

8 / 10
"From Melodic Death with epic nuances due to the dictates of bands such as Amorphis and Children Of Bodom, the stylistic figure of the group is in fact renewed in favor of a greater presence of symphonic arrangements, without for this trespassing in the proper territory of Nightwish, Rhapsody or Therion, but adding this element to an always direct and immediate approach … Cesare Damiolini … holding one of the best growl ever … really a great return."
(IronFolks)

"Recommendation! In addition to the music, the vocals are aptly tuned to match male growls and clear vocals, and that works really well ... what HELLS GUARDIAN does not forget in any case is to write catchy songs that are both rousing and demanding at the same time."
(Amboss)
