GABRIEL GUARDIAN Showcases IRON MAIDEN-Themed Halloween Costume In New Shred Video For “The Trooper”
October 31, 2016, 8 years ago
Gabriel Guardian of the progressive metal band Immortal Guardian and the live electronic duo Fyer has released a new video showcasing his Iron Maiden-themed Halloween costume alongside his signature simultaneous guitar/keyboard shredding skills.
The virtuosic 24-year old, who is already sponsored by Fender and Jackson Guitars as well as Alesis keyboards and EMG Pickups, shows off his ambidextrous abilities in this video inspired by the metal gods and their infamous track, "The Trooper".
In the video, Guardian can be seen harmonizing guitar solos and riffs simultaneously, almost as if his right brain was Dave Murray and his left brain was Adrian Smith. He also brings Bruce Dickinson’s vocal melodies to life through his expressive guitar playing during the verse while still throwing in the occasional tasteful face-melting run. A special cameo is made by Guardian's older brother Waldo, cast as the Grim Reaper in the attempt to recreate the famous artwork for the single, who has a famous Iron Maiden related video of his own that has actually been shared by Iron Maiden. See that video below.
Gabriel has recently returned home from Immortal Guardian’s first Russian Tour in mid-October and is currently in the studio finishing up new records for both Immortal Guardian and Fyer with releases set for late 2016 and early 2017.
