WARBRINGER Issue Year End Wrap-Up

hot flashes news warbringer

WARBRINGER became road warriors over the course of the past year. The band spent the entire year on the road, hitting nearly every location you could imagine, in support of their Century Media debut, War Without End. The album received critical praise across the board, held the #1 position at metal radio and their 'Combat Shock' video received a dozen plays on Headbanger’s Ball.

Before heading into the studio to begin work on their next record (more info on that coming soon!), frontman John Kevill took time to issue the following statement:

“So 2008 is wrapping up, and what a year it has been for Warbringer. It’s been surreal as so many dreams have come true. In February we released our first album, War Without End, and we toured in support of it for ten months. We played over 200 shows on 7 different tours through 16 countries; we drove countless miles, we went through 2 vans and a trailer, A rhythm section and a royal shitload of beer and weed. We played our metal everywhere from our home on the west coast all the way to the shores of the Black Sea.

We want to thank everyone who made all this possible for us, here goes the list: Our manager Marco Barbieri, our booking agents John Finberg and Marc at MAD, Century Media Records, Bill Metoyer, all of our families, all the clubs, press, radio stations, video outlets and record stores that helped promote us, EXODUS, SUFFOCATION, GOATWHORE, ARSIS, NAPALM DEATH, FINNTROLL, THE FACELESS, NILE, SWORN ENEMY, ALL SHALL PERISH, OVERKILL, and most of all, all the fans who came out to the shows and raged, hung out with us, gave us a place to stay or food to eat. You guys are completely awesome!

We'll be doing the same kind of relentless touring schedule next year, and already have 100 shows booked in just the first few months alone. Till then we’re in the jam room every day working on new material. Expect a new album next year. See you out on the road in ‘09!”

Warbringer recently posted a new music video online for the track 'At The Crack of Doom' which can be viewed below...
