Los Angeles thrash tyrants Warbringer have unveiled details for their fifth full-length studio album. Titled ‘Woe To The Vanquished’, the album will be released on March 31st 2017, and will mark the band’s debut on Napalm Records. The album was produced and mixed by Mike Plottnikoff (Fear Factory, In Flames), mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Pantera) with cover art by Andreas Marschall (Sodom, Blind Guardian, Obituary).
Singer John Kevill says about the album: “For the music on this record we re-focused ourselves after a lot of the experiments on ‘Empires Collapse’, and decided we wanted to make a record that is start-to-finish more merciless, ruthless, and cruel, but also maintains some of the more melodic and progressive sense. What we ended up with is a record that has a lot of traits of classic thrash but also a lot of extreme metal, and a rather unique version of that blend. It’s overall faster and meaner than anything else we’ve put out, but also has our biggest and most ambitious song, the 11-minute ‘When the Guns Fell Silent’ to close the record.”
The band has also released an 11-minute making-of video:
