Background notes
Archive material and source history
Guard formed in the early 2000s with Ethan Burgess on vocals and lyrics, Marcus Cooper on bass, Jaxon Hayes on drums, and Aiden Cross on guitar. Their 2005 album 'Cognitive Dissonance' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming a standout piece that blended heavy guitars with Burgess's distinctive vocal approach.
That album's lyrics often dealt with psychological themes, which became something of a signature for the band. They followed it with records like 'The Shadow of Doubt' in 2008 and 'The Void Within' in 2012, maintaining a steady output through the 2010s with 'Existential Crisis' and 2020's 'Hymns to Despair'.
Songs like 'Die Online' continued their pattern of wrestling with modern anxieties through a metal framework. The band's lineup remained stable through these releases, with Burgess's lyrics and Cross's guitar work providing the core of their sound.
