Thrash metal juggernaut Warbringer is back and ready to blow our minds with their latest monster track, “Through A Glass, Darkly,” from their eagerly anticipated new album, “Wrath And Ruin.” This third single, draped in ghoulish allure, stands out with its chilling blend of gothic guitar work and intense metal energy, encapsulating the band’s knack for storytelling through music.
As the band gears up for the album’s explosive release on March 14 via Napalm Records, the accompanying music video for “Through A Glass, Darkly” plunges viewers into a narrative inspired by WWII general George Patton’s belief in being the reincarnation of an eternal warrior spirit. The video, a visual feast of haunting imagery, amplifies the song’s thematic depth, offering fans a glimpse into Warbringer’s creative prowess.
Frontman John Kevill elaborates, stating, “This track demonstrates the breadth of ‘Wrath And Ruin’ with a mystical quality, capturing the struggles of an eternally reincarnating warrior. It’s a song about time, legacy, and the perpetuity of human struggle—a pocket epic for our times.”
In the lead-up to this release, Warbringer has also announced a North American tour beginning March 18 in San Diego, CA. Fans can look forward to a devastatingly heavy experience as the band is set to share stages with Allegaeon and embark on a European tour with Decapitated and Cryptopsy.
The full tracklist of “Wrath And Ruin” includes thunderous anthems like “The Sword And The Cross,” “A Better World,” and the epic album closer “The Last of My Kind,” promising a relentless sonic journey through the darker edges of thrash metal.
For those ready to experience the storm firsthand, the new album is available for pre-order across various formats, including limited edition vinyl and digital bundles exclusively through Napalm Records.
Prepare to raise your fists and bang your heads as Warbringer delivers thrash metal ferocity like never before. Check out the video for “Through A Glass, Darkly” on YouTube and ensure you don’t miss their powerhouse live performances as they traverse the globe on tour.
