WARBRINGER have released a new song!
The new song, titled The Sword And The Cross, is taken from the California-based thrash metal band’s upcoming new album, Wrath And Ruin, which is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Napalm records.
Speaking about the new song, frontman John Kevill says, “The Sword And The Cross was the first song we wrote for Wrath And Ruin and sets the tone for the album. We have a dark, epic thrashing number where a callous lord tells the audience how and why he owns them. First, establishing himself with brute violence (the Sword). Second, legitimating himself with ideology (the Cross). The end of the song was written first, where this lord says that he is still present, and reigns in skyscrapers rather than castles, that his sons will own your sons, and he will own you long after he dies. I love this section and it feels absolutely maniacal and evil to sing. One of the chief themes on the record is ‘techno-feudalism’. Though our rulers may have given up their crowns and titles, they never relinquished their power. The modern lords are no less our masters than the medieval ones were. Bend the knee, peasants, for we bring to you Wrath And Ruin. We bring the sword!”
