THE BEAST

Following the success of their blistering single "Aperio," this latest track showcases the band’s signature fusion of ethereal beauty and crushing brutality. "The Black Guardian" tells the story of an enigmatic anti-hero—rising from destruction to hunt down and annihilate the wicked. Fueled by soaring vocals, thrash-driven riffs, relentless double-bass, groovy interludes, and a blistering guitar solo, this is a must-hear anthem for any metal playlist.
