Background
Metal Blade Records announced in August 2008 that they had signed The Crimson Armada to a record deal. They additionally shared that the band's debut-LP "Guardians" was tentatively scheduled for a spring release. Recording would be led by Joey Sturgis, who would also handle mixing and mastering. On June 7, 2009, the band shared a "making of" video, providing background on the music video the band was recording for "The Serpent's Tongue." Following the release, lead guitarist Josh Jardim and drummer David Puckett would depart the band in early 2011. ==Music videos==
Music videos
The Crimson Armada released a video for the song "The Serpents Tongue," produced by Thunder Down. The video begins with the band playing inside a home then going to a woman sorting photos. Meanwhile, a member of the 82nd Airborne wanders in Normandy during WWII, he is ambushed by German soldiers and shot. After a few more scenes of the band, the man begins to read a letter, he then dies. At that time the woman then begins to sprout angel wings. She then appears with the soldier in Normandy. She touches him and his eyes open again as she smiles. The video ends with her putting his photo (which used to have the eyes covered) down into a pile with other photos. ==Track listing==
