War Without End-Warbringer
“Thrash or be thrashed!!!” says Warbringer.Let’s not beat around the bush,you better thrash or else….well,you read what this band has to say,you’ll be thrashed!!!
First they made an appearance on “Thrashing like a maniac-16 ripping cuts of new school thrash”(”One hell of a soundtrack to grow your hair too!!!”-Kerrang),then an EP that shouted out loud “We are a thrash metal band,we rule!!!”,now they’re touring the U.S with Exodus,Goatwhore and Arsis.Is there anything else a rising thrash metal band can do?Yes,they can release an album titled “War without end”!!!
Warbringer is a California based thrash metal band,formed in 2004.Two years after its formation the released a giant of an EP:”One by one the wicked fall”.Since then Warbringer has been recieving quite a lot of attention within the underground music scene.I mean,if a Sri Lankan metal blogger gets to hear about them and actually blogs about their “to be released soon” album,they’ve got to be big.
They describe their music as “Combat Thrash”,and heck,is it not?The name,the videos,the lyrics and what appears to be the cover art of their debut album(reminds me of some Marduk album covers and Iron Maiden’s “A matter of life and death” cover art),they all shout out; “War!!!”.The following lines are taken from Warbringer hit “Total War”,if that’s not war,I don’t know war.
“Thousands of soldiers march to their fate
Lambs to the slaughter, certain death awaits
Trapped on a field littered with bones
Nations of fallen lying below….”
Well,rumour has it that,”War without end” will be just as promising as Warbringer’s 2006 EP.The Ep was one hell of an EP,I’ll tell you that.They’re doing exactly what “The Big Four” taught us as Thrash,but what makes them Warbringer is they do it without being another Metallica/Slayer cover band.The somewhat “Dragonforcey” drum intro to Total War and the occasional combo guitar battles have added a pinch of power metal to Warbringer’s music.They have their unique aspects,they know their music,and if there ever was anything called “The New Wave of American Thrash Metal”,that’s Warbringer!!!
Warbringer’s debut album “War without end” will be released in the U.S on the 5th February and 20 days later in Europe.You lucky Americans!!!
