Century Media Records reports:

The purveyors of the new wave of American thrash metal, WARBRINGER, have had their tireless work ethic validated this week as the legendary MEGADETH have chosen the band to open for them for some select major North American shows this fall.

This huge announcement comes in the midst of the band’s highly successful run alongside OBITUARY, KRISIUN and GOATWHORE, which wraps up on October 4th.

John Kevill (vocals) further states: “Hey everyone, in Vancouver right now on the Obituary tour and getting kinda close to the halfway point. Love it up here in the northwest, and love the epic crossing of the channel we always make on the ferryboat from Victoria. We are still heading to all the eastward places and then back around, and after that we have some headlining California shows, and then the tour with VADER and DECREPIT BIRTH. And luckily, most of the way into this tour, we get to go off and do some shows with fucking Megadeth! For us as a band this is pretty huge, it will be excellent to share the stage with such a legendary band. Also we are playing around the mid-north of the country in some places we've never been. Then after that we are going to Hawaii, so the rest of the year is looking completely badass. The band’s live performance is better and more lethal than ever before, so we look forward to seeing you all soon.”

Warbringer have greatly expanded upon the boundaries of traditional thrash metal with the vicious new album, Waking Into Nightmares, which quickly separates the band from the typical old-school thrash comparisons as they crafted an album that paves a new path throughout the metal genre. This could be best compared to the impact and influence Megadeth had with Peace Sells and perfectly executes an unrelenting barrage of straight up heavy metal madness. This is old school metal with a modern twist that will keep the circle pits moving all night long.

With the release of 2008's War Without End, Warbringer established themselves as one the most ferocious young bands on the planet. With the chainsaw guitar riffs of John Laux and Adam Carroll accompanied by the evil screams of John Kevill, the band pillaged cities worldwide and established a rabid, hardcore fan base after months and months of touring. Breaking through the mainstream metal underground at a time when the term 'Thrash Revival' was being coined, Warbringer struggled and fought to distance themselves from the flock and the rest of their peers with an extremely aggressive, energetic live performance and a determination to drive the old-school sound forward into the next decade with a sense of fresh air and originality.
