Canadian Death/Thrashers Raider have just unveiled their debut full-length album to the world today, following up on the 2018 demo Urge To Kill with the release of Guardian of the Fire.

Here’s what the band has to say about the new record: “We brought back a lot of familiar elements but added so much more. Guardian of the Fire is more diverse, more aggressive, and is frankly just going to hit way harder. We’re stoked to see what our fans and future fans think of these new tunes! The band has definitely grown a lot in terms of songwriting the last few years and this new album will illustrate that. Better songwriting, better lyrics, and the songs just generally flow better. It’s also safe to say that this new album has a lot more death metal influence than Urge to Kill did. This album is about conquering everything that stands between you and the truth. It’s about not settling for the predetermined life that would have you playing puppet in someone else’s show. Guardian of The Fire is an affirmation that we should forge our own way in this world – in spite of the overwhelming odds against us”.
