This announcement comes fresh off several teasers the band have been posting over the past week. Most recently, a teaser depicting a black silhouetted figure running through what looks to be a city cloaked in purple, yellow, and black was released. With the victimized shadowy figure running ahead, a dinosaur is trailing behind around the corner of the building looming over the silhouetted figure, preparing for what looks to be a chase. When analyzed by Shazam, the song name “Defender” was revealed, along with the now-confirmed album name.

One thing is for certain, "Defender" is a combination of pure lyrical heaviness and technical instrumental prowess at its finest. If this is any confirmation about how amazing this record is going to be, we are all in for an excitingly beastly, yet melodically satisfying delight for our ears.

Here is the track list for Guardians:

1. The Narrative

2. Bones

3. Paramount

4. Defender

5. Lighthouse

6. Dismembered Memory

7. Ties That Bind

8. Bloodletter

9. Extinct By Instinct

10. Empty Heaven

11. Three Fountains

"Defender" is now now available on all streaming and digital download platforms. Check out the video below!
