SURPRISE ATTACK! Warbringer announce new song, “Power Unsurpassed”, to be released digitally this Friday, August 17, 2018!
Exclusive 7” LP including new song and B-Side of “Descending Blade (Live in Germany)” will be released Sept. 9, 2018!
Pre-order: http://smarturl.it/PowerUnsurpassed-NPR
or direct from the band's webshop: https://warbringermusic.com/merch-web-store
John Kevill: “We are putting out a single, "Power Unsurpassed," so we have some new material for you all this summer, as we gear up to write and record our 6th record. It's designed as a total neck-breaker, with hammering riffs and a shredding solo. It is about people who want to take orders from no one, and to make their will reality -- at any price.
We'll be playing this along with many others when we return to Europe this August, alongside Sepultura. It has been a good year since we invaded European shores, and as always we look forward to delivering completely savage live thrash metal to all in attendance. We will play a mix of material from Woe to the Vanquished, the previous 4 albums, as well as the new single "Power Unsurpassed," which we expect will completely crush in the pit. There's a mixture of club dates and festival appearances, but as fans know, Warbringer will bring total aggression to any stage, anytime, anywhere. Europe -- You're Next!”

Our next show.
WAKING INTO NIGHTMARES SHOWS
2017 was a great year for Warbringer. Many felt the band released their ultimate work with Woe to the Vanquished and the group proceeded to tour the US and Europe several times on the back of it alongside bands like Dark Tranquillity, Destruction, Death Angel, Havok, Darkest Hour, Suicidal Angels and Exmortus.
2018 will produce its own set of historic moments as explains Warbringer singer John Kevill, “This year we will be writing new material, but that doesn't mean the live war machine will stop rolling... in addition to our Japanese "Thrash Domination" festivals with Testament and Exodus, we are pleased to announce a small run of West coast shows in April of 2018. Since we have been playing Woe to the Vanquished in its entirety this last year, to great response, we decided we liked the full album format live. It is really cool being able to deliver the whole of a record, front to back, in a live setting, and so on these limited April dates we will be doing that with a fan favorite from our back catalogue... Waking into Nightmares.”
Released in 2009, Waking Into Nightmares was produced by Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and engineered by Zack Ohren (Immolation, Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation) and showcased a more mature Warbringer who not only displayed their continued traditional thrash metal assault but peppered it with more dark and heavy death metal influences. The album was recognized for the band branching out into their own unique and continued evolution of thrash, as well as for the addition of the late Nic Ritter on drums who brought a more technical and progressive style of playing, that continues to date with the current rhythmic work of drummer Carlos Cruz.
“We will play the full record live as both a treat for fans as well as a tribute to Nic Ritter, who passed away in 2017. That record pushed the boundaries forward for Warbringer and we look forward to punishing everyone with it live this coming April. See you in the pit.”

WARBRINGER - "REMAIN VIOLENT"
The latest single and video from WARBRINGER. “Remain Violent” -
Frontman John Kevill comments on the video:
“‘Remain Violent’ is a headbanging stomper of a track anchored around a really killer riff. Probably the most immediate and instantly memorable song off Woe to the Vanquished and sure to become a live favorite.The song deals with the increasingly militaristic behavior of the police in recent times, and the chorus line is a play on ‘You have the right to remain silent.’Crank it up and bang your fucking head! Remain Violent!”
Pre-order your copy of Woe to the Vanquished at the Napalm Records Webstore HERE.
Woe to the Vanquished will be available as
- Regular Jewel Case Edition
- 1LP Gatefold Edition (black and other coloured editions)
- Super Deluxe Wooden Box Warchest Edition (CD, exclusive 2 track 7” single, flag, band logo dog tags) only available via the Napalm Records webstores in the US and Europe – strictly limited to 500 copies!
WARBRINGER - "SHELLFIRE"
John Kevill writes: "As we near the release of our fifth record "Woe to the Vanquished" we want to show you guys something that will blow some heads off. We wrote this song with the intention of it being the fastest Warbringer song to date, which it is. The music, composed by Carlos Cruz, is a ripping bombardment of riffs and rapid-fire fills with a crushing detonation of a middle section. The lyrics, inspired by the seemingly endless battles on the Western Front of World War One, are full of anger, bitterness, and sheer horror, as day after day after day, week after week, the guns never, ever stop.
Play it loud and take cover!"

NEW MUSIC VIDEO "SILHOUETTES"

WARBRINGER debut first song and video, "Silhouettes", from their forthcoming new album, Woe to the Vanquished, out March 31st. Pre-order now! WARBRINGER definitely are one of the most aurally devastating bands in the scene today and make a triumphant step forward on their upcoming record, Woe to the Vanquished. On March 31st they deliver their monumental 5th full-length and Napalm Records debut. We can’t wait! Can you? To shorten the waiting time WARBRINGER unleashes the first ripping track from Woe to the Vanquishedtoday! The band are more than proud to release the first song and music video, “Silhouettes", directed by Orie McGinness (Enlighten Creative Studio) and produced by Shan Dan Horen (Shadow Born Group). Check out the exclusive music video premiere HERE! John Kevill gives a deeper insight into the first song “Silhouettes": This song, the album opener, is a blazing and intense number; we wanted the album to open with pure annihilation. I had the lyric in my head and the frantic riff under the verse since the beginning of 2014, and I am very pleased that it exists as a full song now. The idea for the song came from a particularly chilling detail found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; when the atomic bombs went off the shadows of people whose bodies were vaporized still remain burned onto the walls and the ground where they once stood. To me, this is goddamn horrifying. I thought - "What if the souls of those dead remain trapped in the shadows?" I wanted to have the song written from a future where civilization has failed, the Earth is in ruins and the few remaining survivors live a horrible existence. The untold millions of shadows from this future, burnt into stone, look back at us in the present time and judge us for bringing about the apocalypse that, though we saw it coming, we did nothing to avoid. The way I see it, we continue funding weaponry that keeps getting more and more devastating (search "satan-2" if you think this issue is some relic), and leadership seems on a sharp downward trend as well. Not the ingredients for a positive outcome. Remember, it only takes one mistake, once, and everything everyone has ever built, written, painted, all music, all culture, every ounce of human achievement is gone, in a single blinding flash. Like it or not, this is the world we live in today, and entering 2017 the delicate balance tips and sways more and more. So, Happy New Year. Enjoy the time we have left, and fucking thrash. Woe to the Vanquished. We're Ghosts! Woe to the Vanquished has been carefully crafted over period of time, and the album was produced and mixed by Mike Plottnikoff (Fear Factory, In Flames), mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Pantera) with cover art by the esteemed Andreas Marschall (Sodom, Blind Guardian, Obituary). Woe to the Vanquished will be available as - Regular Jewel Case CD Edition - 1LP Gatefold Vinyl Edition - Super Deluxe Wooden Box Warchest Edition (CD, exclusive 2 track 7” single, flag, band logo dog tags) only available via the Napalm Records webstores in the US and Europe – strictly limited to 500 copies!

WARBRINGER Unveil First Album Details Including Title, Album Artwork & Release Date!
WARBRINGER has continued to evolve throughout its four albums into the one of the most aurally devastating bands in the scene today. On March 31st they deliver their monumental 5th record entitled Woe to the Vanquished and make a triumphant step forward on this record--it's an absolute must for ANYONE who’s into metal today.
WARBRINGER singer John Kevill describes the new album musically:
“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.”
Woe to the Vanquished has been carefully crafted over period of time, and the album was produced and mixed by Mike Plottnikoff (Fear Factory, In Flames, Saxon), mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Pantera) with cover art by the esteemed Andreas Marschall (Sodom, Blind Guardian, Obituary).
Kevill explains the stunning album artwork, “It is directly based on a photograph from the end of the First World War--a grim monument, a pyramid of 12,000 German spiked helmets, right in the middle of New York City. What struck me about the image is firstly how morbid it seems to be celebrating 12,000 dead men and calling it victory."
Kevill, who is studying to be a history professor, comments on the title, Woe to the Vanquished and the story behind it: “The title "Woe to the Vanquished" comes from early Roman history--before they were the huge empire they became. In 390 BC, a host of Gauls led by a warlord called Brennus attacked Rome, and captured all the city except the Capitoline Hill. From this hill the defeated Romans made a bargain, they would pay 1,000 pounds of gold for the Gallic army to leave the city with no further bloodshed. The Romans bring the gold before Brennus, who uses his own scales to measure it. On the Gaul's scales, the Roman's thousand pounds of gold measured to be less, which led the Romans to complain that the scale was rigged (it probably was). Responding to this, Brennus speaks "Vae Victis" (Woe to the Vanquished) and throws his sword on the counterweight. Because the Romans lost, they have to pay the rigged sum of gold as well as the weight of the sword, to add insult to injury. The irony here is that vowing this type of humiliation would never happen again, Rome went on to become an ancient war machine conquering and subjugating most of the old world. On the record "Woe to the Vanquished" is spoken in an ironic, mocking tone--the defeated are trampled and time marches on, uncaring, and forgets they ever existed.”
“One of the great things about heavy metal as a genre is you can express tougher subject material than "I met a (boy/girl) and it was (happy/sad)". I looked for the most monolithic evil I could find to write about with this destructive, intense music... and I did not have to look any further than reality. Forget Satan, that's a children's story. Real evil is in the hearts of men.”
The band has released a special extended making-of the album video. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/Uh8A_mXJSVA
Pre-Orders will be available shortly!

WARBRINGER SIGN TO NAPALM RECORDS!
Napalm Records is proud and honored to announce the signing of US Thrash Metallers WARBRINGER! Started in 2004 by High School fellow metal heads, the members of Los Angeles’ own WARBRINGER have made their way up through the metal scene. After four releases and an endless succession of tours with the likes of Arch Enemy, Exodus, Suicide Silence, Megadeth, Napalm Death, Iced Earth, Kreator to name just a few, this hard working five-piece is ready to take the next step together with Napalm Records.
John Kevill, frontman of WARBRINGER comments on the signing:
"We are excited to announce a new record deal with Napalm Records! We have been writing for the last couple months, the riffs are flowing and the new material is sounding goddamn lethal. We are planning to record at the end of summer and release it early next year, followed by a full worldwide touring campaign. The writing is being led by longtime members drummer Carlos Cruz and guitarist Adam Carroll, as well as myself, and we are being joined by Chase Becker on the lead guitar and Jessie Sanchez dropping the bass-hammer. I've been on a mission to make this record for three years since Empires... was released, and it's great to see it finally coming to fruition. Thank you all the people at Napalm Records for their interest in the band, and thank you to the fans for your continued and undying support, We'll see you out there next year. Keep it heavy my friends! Signing off.“
WARBRINGER have also recorded a video to unveil all hot details regarding the brand new signing and their upcoming album. Check it out HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m354bZo9UQk&feature=youtu.be
Sebastian Muench, A&R Napalm Records states:
“I have been following WARBRINGER´s progress throughout the last 4 fantastic releases and am extremely confident that with the band's first release under the Napalm banner WARBRINGER could step in the footsteps of Thrash Metal Titans like Exodus, Kreator or Testament! We will work our asses off to make the album a success! Welcome to the Napalm family!“

WARBRINGER live at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City!
TOTAL WAR
1/4/16
WARBRINGER N. America tour Jan./Feb. with ENFORCER, EXMORTUS, CAULDRON. Band announces touring lineup.
Warbringer will start their next N. American tour in New York City on Jan. 5, 2016 at The Gramercy Theatre. This co-headliner trek with Sweden’s Enforcer will be almost two months and cover the US and Canada, along with opening acts Exmortus and Cauldron. This is the first domestic tour Warbringer has done since the fall of 2013 when the group opened for Overkill and Kreator in support of their last album, Warbringer IV: Empires Collapse so many fans are eager to see the band live again. This tour is also their only tour planned for 2016 as they continue to write and plan to record their fifth album later in the year. Once known as road dogs playing up to 300 shows a year globally for 5 years straight the group decided to halt the numerous live activities and re-charge their batteries but core members John Kevill (vocals), Adam Carroll (guitar) and Carlos Cruz (drums) remain committed to the band and are excited to get back out there and showcase a new touring lineup of experienced musicians performing a killer set of Warbringer classics for fans on this stellar bill of bands. Joining the band for this tour are guitarist Jadran “Conan” Gonzalez of Exmortus (who will be doing double-duty playing two sets a night) and bassist Jessie Sanchez (Bonded By Blood, Holy Grail, Fear Factory, Others).
"The band sounds fucking killer right now and I can't wait to get out there and assault the stage,” comments singer John Kevill. “It is worth mentioning that I've seen a number of ‘people leaving bands’ news pieces recently. Most often they cite the complete impossibly of making a living playing music, and the difficulty of the touring lifestyle. Well, I can say from experience that all of that is true. It's tough, there's no denying that. But that isn't what I want to talk about here. What I want to talk about is what has kept me going for the 10+ years and 1000+ concerts I have done with this band I started right after finishing high school. I've seen more of the world than I ever thought was possible, met thousands of people from all walks of life, and from them learned much of the world. Among other things, I learned to remain humble and to always remember what an honor and privilege it is to perform songs I made with my friends, to complete strangers who live thousands of miles away who will come out on a work night to see me and my fellow band dudes banging our heads. Too many people lose sight of this. So that is why I am still here, and why I will see you guys on each of the 47 dates of this tour. Be ready. I am."

 Southern California thrash-metal five piece, WARBRINGER have built a reputation for themselves over the past five years having recorded four albums and touring the planet with relentless drive and passion.

They have also just announced a full North American tour in early 2016 with Enforcer and a South American Tour in July. Warbringer Frontman John Kevill had this to say about the North American tour, "We are excited to announce the return of Warbringer to the road across North America. It looks to be a completely excellent lineup, with heavy metal warriors Enforcer and Cauldron, and longtime friends/total shredders Exmortus. Looking forward to firing up the engines again and getting back out there on the warpath, hell, it's about time!"

WARBRINGER - Back in action with new line-up; Touring Asia & select California shows!
WARBRINGER built a reputation for themselves. The Southern California thrash metal band were part of every major tour around the globe for five years straight. In that time it was miraculous that they found time to record four albums of unrelenting aggression. And then it all came to a screeching halt.
"I really thought that the Empires Collapse record cycle ended prematurely due to the departure of (guitarist) John Laux and (drummer) Carlos Cruz. I figured it would be the end of the band, and the end of my life's work, as I'd really put everything I had into this band," explains singer John Kevill.
"I remember on the last show we played on that US tour (guitarist) Adam Carroll came to me and told me how we had to keep the torch held high and to realize the full potential of the band no matter what. We carried on the following European tour with fill-in members, as we really hate to cancel a gig and let down our fans, but it really seemed like the end for us. Fortunately, though it took a long time, we have been able to find musicians in our area to help carry on the torch of the destructive, intense music this band stands for. So welcome Vicken Hovsepian on drums, Noah Young on guitar, and Alex Malmquist on bass. Our mission since we started rehearsing together was to be the tightest incarnation of the band yet, and to raise the bar and move forward, never back. So far progress has been great and I can't wait to get out there and unleash this new weapon upon the world."
After months of intense rehearsal the five-piece is ready to show the world the new WARBRINGER. The campaign starts with an Asian Assault because there's nothing better than flying halfway across the world and debuting your new lineup in front of a huge crowd at the Hammersonic Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia alongside established heavyweights like Lamb of God, Mayhem, Vader, Unearth, and The Faceless among others. This show will be followed by additional headlining dates in the region, an area WARBRINGER have attacked feverishly before.
"We are extremely pumped to return to Asia. It will be our third time over there and we're ready to get back into action and bust some skulls! We've played Indonesia and Taiwan before but this run will include our first visit to China so we're excited for that," states Kevill.
WARBRINGER are already putting together plans for US shows throughout the summer in between writing sessions for a next album. The first of these short runs will begin with a pair of shows at the San Diego and Anaheim House of Blues with Meshuggah and then headliners at the famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, Thee Parkside in San Francisco and The Spring Meltdown Festival in Reno, NV.
"We're looking forward to playing our first hometown show in well over a year. We're going to play some songs we have never played live before and seriously bring down the hammer. See you guys there, c'mon and let's wreck the place!"

WARBRINGER launch first song off new album IV: Empires Collapse via Decibel
Following up on a successful appearance at Iron Maiden's "The Battle Of San Bernardino" event last weekend and in the light of the upcoming release of their fourth studio album, IV: Empires Collapse, on October 29 via Century Media Records, Los Angeles based WARBRINGER are now debuting the first song from the album, "Hunter- Seeker."
Check out "Hunter-Seeker" debut on Decibel Magazine's website: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/exclusive-warbringer-hunter-seeker-lyric-video/
WARBRINGER had this to say about the the track: "Hunter-Seeker was the last song completed for the album, yet we feel is one of the strongest tracks to be presented to our fans as the first single. The music was composed and arranged by Carlos Cruz, and the lyrics were a collaboration between John Kevill and Cruz. Kevill had the title in mind before the lyrics were written, though the idea was to write about the instilled sense of fear and paranoia within humans with the recent leak in the mainstream media of the NSA's operations of our surveillance. Since 2007, Operation PRISM has been in effect; without consent of the people, and those in compliance have been all major internet providers and social media networks who have allowed the NSA to collect everything a user does on the world-wide web. When structured into lyrics, the subject gelled well with the songs dynamic of relentless, yet bleak music."
IV: Empires Collapse was recorded with producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence), mixed by Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Heart, Avenged Sevenfold) and mastered by Alan Douches / West West Side Music (Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Converge). The album's cover artwork was designed by Adrienne Rozzi.

WARBRINGER – Unveil new album artwork; Updated street date and further details announced!
Los Angeles’ WARBRINGER are back with their 4th studio album effort, programmatically entitled, “IV: Empires Collapse”and have now confirmed a new/corrected street date for the release on October 29th, 2013 in North America via Century Medias Records.
“IV: Empires Collapse”, the studio recording debut for former Mantic Ritual members Jeff Potts (Guitar) and Ben Mottsman (Bass) rounding off WARBRINGER’s five-piece line-up, was recorded with producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence), mixed by Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Heart, Avenged Sevenfold) and mastered by Alan Douches / West West Side Music (Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Converge). The album’s cover artwork, which can be seen above, was designed by Adrienne Rozzi.
The band checked in to comment about the artwork as follows: "The artwork for "Empires Collapse" came about from wanting to take a much more focused and simplistic approach. Previous WARBRINGER album covers are extremely detailed, busy works, so it was a conscious decision to have art that was the antithesis of what we had done before. John Laux came up with the concept, so we had our friend Adrienne Rozzi make up a sketch, which led to us having her follow through with the final piece. It's incredibly different from what most fans would expect for a WARBRINGER album cover, but we wanted the art to visually reflect the music. The piece reminds me of a Tarot Card illustration and sets a very cryptic, somber vibe which associates well with the music that ties into the album's title."
The album’s tracklisting reads as follows:
WARBRINGER - “IV: Empires Collapse”
1. Horizon
2. The Turning Of The Gears
3. One Dimension
4. Hunter-Seeker
5. Black Sun, Black Moon
6. Scars Remain
7. Dying Light
8. Iron City
9. Leviathan
10. Off With Their Heads!
11. Towers Of The Serpent
Upon release of “IV: Empires Collapse”, WARBRINGER will be touring North America with Kreator and Overkill between October 27th and November 29th, 2013. Additionally, WARBRINGER have just been confirmed to appear at Iron Maiden’s “The Battle Of San Bernardino” event on September 13th, which also features appearances by Megadeth, Anthrax, Testament, Sabaton and Overkill, making it a night to remember for fans of Heavy / Thrash Metal.
The band further commented on this opportunity as follows: “It's an honor to be able to perform alongside one of Heavy Metal's most influential bands and we want to thank everyone who has given us their support in order to achieve this opportunity. It will be a monumental concert for us and all attending. Up the Irons!"

WARBRINGER set to release new album IV: Empires Collapse on October 15, 2013; In studio updates and Tour Dates with Kreator & Overkill
L.A.'s own WARBRINGER, have been locked away in The Omen Room studio with producer Steve Evetts (Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura, Symphony X) for the past few months and are about to complete their next masterpiece, IV: Empires Collapse. The next level results of the new album are due to each band member pushing their own abilities and working together on the complex arrangements as well as the simple hooks.
IV: Empires Collapse is a collective work between the five band members and the producers. "Musically, all five of us brought something for the rest of the group to work off of and we were all a part of chiseling away at the ideas" says drummer Carlos Cruz of the recording process. "Having five band members with eclectic tastes in music from Crust Punk to Progressive music and everything in between brought about new musical directions for the material."
The band has been documenting the recording process via social networking and capturing everything on film.

WARBRINGER - Entering studios today!
Los Angeles thrashers WARBRINGER have entered the studio today to begin recording the follow-up to their critically acclaimed third album, “Worlds Torn Asunder”. The band will once again be working with producer Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura, Symphony X, etc.) on this currently untitled new full-length at his studio, The Omen Room, in Garden Grove, California. Set to record for a month’s time, WARBRINGER has already written 11 songs that explore the band’s diversity and musicianship while also remaining true to their signature fast and heavy thrash attack.
Drummer Carlos Cruz comments about entering the studio:
"Moving forward with our 4th full-length album has been a tremendous feat for the band and we are proud of the album we've written. The growth of the band with two new members (guitarist Jeff Potts and bassist Ben Mottsman) has produced a very eclectic sounding album that covers a lot of musical ground within the Heavy Metal genre. It's been a true collaboration and all five members have been able to write and contribute something new to the collective WARBRINGER sound. We hope all our fans will keep an open-mind towards our musical growth, but we promise no one will be disappointed.
Deciding to work with Steve Evetts again was the best decision for the group because of our prior experience with him. His personality, attention to detail and ability to sonically capture what the band represents will make for an amazing 4th album experience. Two years is a long time to improve upon your craft, so we're excited to see what has become of Steve as a producer, and for him to see what has become of WARBRINGER since our last album. Looking forward to recording in the Summer So-Cal heat!"
This upcoming album is tentatively scheduled for an October release via Century Media Records. WARBRINGER will be touring North America with Kreator and Overkill this fall in support of this release, in addition to playing some one-off shows around the world.

In regards to these upcoming dates, frontman John Kevill comments:
“We have been busy writing songs for our new album, so it's been awhile since we've played any shows, but we're going to take a break and do something a little different. Since it's been 5 years since the first album, ‘War Without End,’ was released -- we are gonna play 4 shows celebrating it over Memorial Day Weekend and play the whole album at two of those shows, which includes a lot of songs we haven't played in 4 or so years. We're gonna absolutely rip through these tunes as fast and as hard as possible. See you guys out there! More Warbringer news coming soon, keep your eyes peeled.
Signing off,”

DARK TRANQUILLITY - European Tour cancelled
Sweden’s DARK TRANQUILLITY have just announced the cancellation of their upcoming European tour. The band comments: “It is with great frustration that we have to announce the cancellation of our participation in the planned European tour “Metal Attack Over Europe”.
The reasons are several. The main tour promoter has failed in making the necessary practical and logistical arrangements needed for the tour to happen. Due to the lack of reliable information and substandard promotion, ticket sales have been surprisingly low. We can't just embark on a one-month, five-band trek risking to be met by closed venues or not being 100% sure that the necessary arrangements for the shows even to happen are in place. The fact that Warbringer had to cancel didn’t help the situation.
We understand that many people will be disappointed, and so are we. Rest assured that our booking agent has been doing his outmost to save the tour and try to sort things out, but the sad reality is that we're left with no choice but to cancel. We are truly sorry about this situation.”

Warbringer guitarist Adam Carroll departs the band
As Warbringer begin their next North American tour supporting Iced Earth and Symphony X this week it has been revealed that the band has been joined by a new guitarist. Longtime member Adam Carroll has decided to leave the band and last weekend’s shows supporting Death Angel were his last.
"To all fans and friends, I, Adam Carroll, have officially quit Warbringer. I have financial issues at home that have to be addressed sooner than later. I hope you all can understand and respect my decision. It's been some of the best years of my life and I appreciate all the support you the fans have given us and continue to give. I will forever be part of the Warbringer family. Many thanks and until I see the rest of you again, keep the metal alive. Cheers!"
The band enlisted friend and talented, young guitarist Andrew Bennett for the purpose of filling in live for this tour with the hope that he may become a permanent member of the group as he continues his audition process where it matters most – on the stage and in the van.
Comments Andrew Bennett, "Last month I received a message from the guys, which basically stated that Adam was requesting to step out. As a result, they were searching for a possible replacement, who could learn the material in time for the upcoming Iced Earth and Symphony X tour. Being excited as I was at the idea of playing with them, I jumped at the opportunity and started learning some tracks. Around the beginning of this month I went down and jammed with the guys and the rest is history. I am eternally grateful to my friends in Warbringer for giving me the opportunity to play with them and I am very excited about what the future may hold. But, one thing that I would like to make clear is that I don't view myself as Adam's replacement, as much as I view myself as filling the position instead of him. Adam's work with the band and time with them is not something that can be erased and I would just like to make it clear that I respect him greatly. He has left big shoes to fill and I have a lot of work ahead of me if I am going to honor his legacy with the band. I'm looking forward to interacting with, and playing for the fans on the road! It's time to shred!"

WARBRINGER ready to kick off North American tour with ICED EARTH, SYMPHONY X
After recently touring Europe with ARCH ENEMY and successfully completing their first-ever headlining US run in the fall of 2011, the thrash road-warriors WARBRINGER are ready for yet another North American tour—this time, with co-headliners ICED EARTH and SYMPHONY X! In regards to this upcoming trek, the band comments: "It's a new year and we're looking forward to getting back out there and touring the US and Canada, especially getting back to some of the markets we didn't hit on the headline tour. These will be big shows and a long tour and we're excited to share the stage with ICED EARTH and SYMPHONY X, and performing for some of their fans who may have not seen WARBRINGER yet."

The international press is highly praising the band’s relentless new album release, “Worlds Torn Asunder”, too. Some sample-quotes:

“Warbringer has once again shown why they are the best thing going today in the thrash scene, and one of the best metal bands in general.” – Metal Review (US)
“Worlds Torn Asunder is a truly stunning thrash masterpiece, and further proof that Warbringer are in a thrashing class of their own.” – Blistering.com (US)
“WARBRINGER have done absolutely everything right on the excellent “Worlds Torn Asunder” and prove again that they’re the leaders of the new thrash movement” - ROCK HARD (Germany)
“Thrashers, mark this as a must-buy on your shopping list...“ - METAL HAMMER (Germany)
“This is what Exodus used to sound like… only better" - Toby Cook, METAL HAMMER (UK)
“Worlds torn asunder” is not a copy of anything that has been done before. It’s a thing of its own and it’s totally, totally wonderful." - SWEDEN ROCK (Sweden)
Next to the standard album as jewel case CD and Digital Download, “Worlds Torn Asunder” is also available as limited edition LP version with 180g. vinyl and as a strictly limited edition European Digipak CD edition including a woven WARBRINGER patch as well as two special audio bonus tracks (Cover versions of Bathory – “Sacrifice” and Unleashed – “Execute Them All”).
"Worlds Torn Asunder" was produced and mixed by the renowned Steve Evetts (Suicide Silence, The Dillinger Escape Plan), and features amazing artwork by none less than Dan Seagrave, who designed WARBRINGER's previous album cover as well as artwork for such legendary acts as Entombed, Malevolent Creation, Suffocation and Morbid Angel.

WARBRINGER gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making-of their new music video, “Shattered Like Glass”!
For those that have been waiting patiently for new WARBRINGER content before the September 27th release of their upcoming album, “Worlds Torn Asunder”, the band is now giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making-of their upcoming music video, “Shattered Like Glass”! Rather than churn out the “standard” live-in-an-abandoned-warehouse music video, WARBRINGER decided to give “Shattered Like Glass” a horror movie treatment with help from Director Dave Vorhes (www.bigfootage.net) and actor Don Danielson (http://imdb.to/pbbfcn). To get your first preview of the music video, click the link below to see the making-of “Shattered Like Glass”, filmed and edited by WARBRINGER’s own John Laux (guitar)!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPf2Uato5l4
In regards to this behind-the-scenes video clip, John Laux comments, “We are very excited about the latest and greatest official WARBRINGER promo video clip! We had a great experience working with director Dave Vorhes and his team. They used a number of DIY style tricks to create a very unique and professional environment for the ‘Shattered Like Glass’ video. We had a blast using smoke and mirrors to escape the trappings of another metal warehouse video. The aim is to have a very dark, horror movie kind of feel in this video. We're looking forward to seeing the finished edited clip, which will be out before our new album is released Sept. 27th.”
The music video for “Shattered Like Glass” will be posted online in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! More new material from WARBRINGER will be available soon! In the meantime, please check out the band’s official YouTube for Warblogs, guitar lessons, and more:
