Atmospheric death metal unit, Lord Of War, will release their second full-length on July 8th via Unique Leader Records. Pre-order the new album at this location.

The eleven track album, entitled Suffer, was engineered and mixed by Daniel Castleman and Kelly Cairns (Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Carnifex, Winds Of Plague, Molotov Solution) and mastered by Miah Lajeunesse (Whitechapel, Aegaeon).

Today the band unveils the vicious sounds of "Nexus Of Hate" in the form of a lyric video. The track features Nick Arthur of Molotov Solution.

Says the band: ”“Nexus Of Hate” is actually one of the first songs that came together for the album. Originally we were planning on making an EP which included 'Nexus...' but the label was more interested in us doing a full length. Once we were steered into that direction it changed a lot on how the band wrote music and ultimately how Suffer as a whole would be created. One of the really cool things about this track is that it features Nick Arthur from Molotov Solution. Our recording engineer, Kelly Cairns, previously recorded Molotov's The Harbinger and that's how things came together with Nick. We were really excited about it because we loved Nick's vocal style and we were already big fans of the band. At the time 'Nexus....' was written, it was literally just [guitarist] Dan [Richardson] and [guitarist]  Alex [Walshaw] in the band. It was a really rough time for us because we weren't doing any touring. We had a falling out with our other band members and it just seemed like everything was working against us. We made a joke about how we felt we were in a “Nexus Of Hate” and when we said that we both looked at each other and said, 'that's a song title!' The writing process for this song solidified a lot of things on how the rest of the album would be written. “Nexus Of Hate” is a concept of a dimension where your darkest fears become reality; a vision of hell personalized to the individual trapped in the Nexus. Everything you love, know and care about is brutally and methodically torn apart. This stage is set to torture, demoralize and warp the mind of the individual that's trapped and push them past the point of known suffering and insanity. The concept originated from the film Event Horizon and other sci-fi horror films. Scientists have theories that there could be an infinite number of alternate realities and parallel universes. Who's to say something like the “Nexus Of Hate” doesn't exist..."

Lord Of War's Suffer drags its listeners into a dark sonic realm where elements of science fiction, horror, and sheer unbridled brutality collide. Priding themselves on keeping an expansive repertoire and a "something for everyone" ethos, Suffer delivers over 45 minutes of unearthly aggression, seamlessly intertwining engaging technicality, relentless viciousness, and deadly precision. Suffer features a guest vocal appearance by Nick Arthur from Molotov Solution, a revisit of their single "Hamunaptra" from their debut album Celestial Pestilence, and cover art by Colin Marks (Whitechapel, Psycroptic, Sylosis, Origin, Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish).
