As Immortal Guardian continues to work on their new record, the band is now streaming their latest single "Perfect Person." The single is very much in the vein of the band's usually powerful sound, and brings into question one's faith in others.
"I grew up in a very religious Mexican family," said Gabriel Guardian. "It was a big part of our lives especially every Sunday morning when we went to church. But one day, our pastor had a heart attack while in the middle of a sexual act cheating on his wife and died right there in the church after-hours. It was absolutely bonkers and I remember it really stirred up the moral point-of-views in our tiny Texas town back then.
"We stopped going to church after that and really started questioning why we were there to begin with.
"You see, some Christians had such a bad taste of the church that they left religion all together and felt lied to and deceived, while others said the Christian thing to do would be to forgive him and move on and find another church. It was super interesting to grow up and watch both sides of this play out. This made a very interesting topic to write about and it definitely fueled the spark for 'Perfect Person.'
"At the end of the day, it is about NOT over idolizing and over glorifying religious figures, politicians, celebrities, even musicians, and the like. I wonder if that pastor had just lived his life and died a non-religious man, nobody would have been bothered. But because everyone sought this man’s advice every week, got baptized by him, got married by him, and put his words and lifestyle on a pedestal, it made it that much more devastating. Everyone can pin a local ‘icon’ in their minds as a perfect figure that could do no wrong and preach endless golden words when in fact he is just a mortal man with mortal sin."
