WHOM GODS DESTROY Feat. DEREK SHERINIAN, RON "BUMBLEFOOT" THAL, DINO JELUSICK Reveal Debut Album Details; "In The Name Of War" Single And Video Out Now

As a first appetizer for Insanium, Whom Gods Destroy are launching the first single and opening track off their upcoming debut album. Check out the dynamic track, “In The Name Of War”, in a video directed by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films and edited by Vojan Koceić / PILOTstudio below.

Whom Gods Destroy guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal commented about “In The Name Of War” as follows: "Derek, Dino and I began writing this song in 2020, it was the first song we wrote together. This song captures a lot of what the band is about, it's a good example of what to expect from the album. The song gets pretty intense when the band kicks in, an unexpected contrast, the music tells the story alongside the lyrics - the Eastern scale melody in the chorus followed by the 'war drum' pattern, the bridge feeling like it's heading toward something, an urgency..."
