Crossing genres of power metal, AOR and thrash elements, this album shows a deep creative input from a wide range of metal talent.

"Guardians Of Time" is a statement of intent from some of the most respected names in metal. It's not about nostalgia; it's about innovation and the future of metal as a creative force. Produced by Stu Marshall, who has worked closely with each vocalist to ensure that their contribution is both individual and integral to the whole, the album represents a new model of collaboration in heavy music.
