Shrapnel release new music video for ‘Guardian’

SHRAPNEL have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Guardian, is taken from the UK thrash metal band’s upcoming new album, In Gravity, which is scheduled to be released in May this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “EXTREMITY / ANGER / SOUL SEARCHING – this was the formula for the most aggressive song SHRPNAEL have ever delivered. Born from tragedy, Guardian seeks to understand how we cope with the hardest circumstances life throws at us. A centrepiece of the new album In Gravity, Guardian evokes a sense of anxiety and determination with gritty, pounding verses giving in to a massive and explosive chorus vocal hook. This is a modern metal song for those affected by tragedy.

The last few years have been really tough for all members of SHRAPNEL with divorce, loss of loved ones and complete life upheaval. The whole album has become based around the idea of coping strategies, self reflection and dealing with anger, frustration and sorrow. Guardian is one of the most direct examples of this and hopefully it speaks to people with as much gravitas as it has had on us through the writing and recording process.”

In Gravity is set for release on May 31st via Candlelight Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
