About the single and video, frontman John Kevill says:
“When I was younger, I used to think the world would only get better during my life. I know now that isn’t the case. We aren’t going to fix the environment even though we know the consequences, because profits would decrease, so it’s not considered possible. On top of that, our societies keep getting more unequal, with a few people owning most everything, and most people just trying to keep their heads above water. We still won’t feed everyone, but we will fund development of weaponized autonomous drones. Etc etc.
I was reading some social theory stuff (Mark Fisher) some years ago and feeling depressed about my own future in these conditions. I went to a therapist and they basically told me it was all real and legitimate, and that all they could do was give me drugs so I could pretend that I didn’t know all this. I don’t really have time to worry too much, because a bunch of bills are always due. I also stopped dreaming for a year or two, which I found scary. I tried to bottle this feeling into ‘A Better World’ - I don’t think I’m the only one.
The video was made by Juan Rodriguez, who we worked with on ‘Crushed Beneath the Tracks’, and shows WARBRINGER going hard - what we do best. The song has a melodic death-tinged riff penned by Adam Carroll, with arrangements by thrash maestro Carlos Cruz. To me, it gives the feeling of being stuck on some accelerated loop that won’t slow down. Hope you guys enjoy the first taste of Wrath And Ruin, there’s a lot more to come!”

This album is going to slay! The best of the best of modern thrash.

[@XenonAdventures]

Wtf is slay

[@cyrollan]

@@XenonAdventures the thing you do to dragons

[@XenonAdventures]

@@cyrollan im a early gen z’er don’t know what these new words are

[@Knarre9534]

With how hard it has become to live in these troubled times, it's heartwarming to know, I'm not the only one suffering from this. Thank you for your music, it helps a lot in dealing with this world. Keep it up!

[@caerxhan8313]

And also there are people who have it worse than you

[@chondrinenigma]

Warbringer, Havok, Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust are my favourite thrash bands.

[@wowno5763]

Check Fog of War.

[@jamiemay8546]

​@@wowno5763I always avoided them like the plague............ Until I took a listen yesterday. I absolutely can't believe how good it is. I can't believe it. Right now in life l I'm desperately trying not to be the typical underground guy. I'm trying to appreciate the newer thrash groups. This is a great song. You know and when you see the band play it live and pull it off. Never accuse a newer production band of being some studio musician. That stupid thing that builds up with inside a human being that starts biasing things that's horrible. But I don't throw the baby out with the bathwater either. Anyway. I want to appreciate this. And essentially I do. This aging brain is getting really weird. Great lyrics by the way. Such a great stance that you take. Why am I addressing the band themselves as if I'm talking to them? If you notice I didn't edit that out I'm trying to figure myself out by texting to the band in real time as though it was the band. And it's kind of showing how there's a cognitive dissonance that's going on inside of me that is sort of like the subject matter of this song. A psychological existential crisis that is a product of the new world. This is a very special moment. This reflection that's happening right now in real timeshow me that this experience even though it is a great artistic merit and import as a listener still holds great danger at the same time most possibly and it's very contemplation and reflection. I do and will always love heavy metal music.

[@CarsonSenseney_metal_head666]

I swear this band has never released a bad album and this new one is just gonna be a fucking banger

[@cyrollan]

i won't call it bad, but IV: Empire Collapse is probably my least favorite. i'm just not a punk guy.

[@LeviBoldock]

@@cyrollan I liked it more than their last album. Opinions…

[@carlosaugustomaresdias]

*FINALLY!!!* One of the albums I'm most looking forward to this year is Warbringer! 🔥🤘🏽

[@gregsimmons694]

God bless you fellow thrasher! Jesus saves sinners

[@decadenceincarnate875]

When the lyrics and music hits like a punch in solar plexus! What a banger!

[@CHRlSBLAlN]

Ironically, this is giving me hope for tomorrow

[@chondrinenigma]

Weapons of tomorrow?

[@Mitch18121]

Resulting in worlds torn asunder?

[@sole__doubt]

Yeah I need that too. Its been a wild year and we're only getting started. \m/

[@frenchthrasher]

Perfect way to start 2025, Warbringer never disappoints 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@ViciousDenjalicious]

Does anybody got that The Black Dahlia Murder vibe? Chords progression, soloing, tempo. Anyway, killer music!

[@Nerdycottoncandy]

Yes...also Arch Enemy..

[@CrossDenier]

They have started doing an almost-crossover thrash and now are plenty with swedish influences... Not bad at all, their music evolved in an pretty interesting way without stop sounding like the classic Warbringer

[@luisrodas297]

The should tour together this year.

[@OvertEnemy]

Yeah absolutely can almost see SpongeBob shredding it up.

[@Paul-n-Co]

i was thinking a little bit of The Haunted feel to those riffs

[@dasmaddoktor1960]

NEW WARBRINGER?! WE’RE STARTING OFF 2025 THE BEST WAY!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sagarkarma666]

Yeahhhh.. A Masterpiece of a brutal band.. The best.!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@shirokaminokageyami]

00:01 into and I already headbang so hard

[@curtisrusko8908]

Man I love watching warbringer. So much fun love, and chase Becker is a riff machine.

[@MetalHeartAZ]

The cause of the Santa Ana winds

[@USALeonHeart]

2000’s Kreator vibes where you’ve mixed thrash with Swedish MDM, which is as good an idea now as when they first did it. Love the tune!

[@Nerdycottoncandy]

Don't say melodeath or trve thrashers will start crying...but some riffs Are kinda Arch Enemy...

[@darkseidiss3npai251]

To be fair I’d say that some tracks off of Woe to the Vanquished also have a melo-death touch to them. The cool thing about Warbringer is that they try something different with each song. One track can be straight up Bathory worship and the next track could be relentless Death/Thrash

[@gerardogarciagonzalez3304]

​@@Nerdycottoncandy I'm a thrasher, but nowadays I prefer some heavy Melodeath like the Crown, Arsis or Mors Principium, it's just versatile enough to never getting me bored, just like Warbringer and of course, this new track.

[@youtoobe169]

Man, I just can't get enough of this song!

[@MetalAndStoneYouTube]

Its on Spotify rn, oooooof it smacks 🤤

[@Riky_Jones]

Spotify?? CD. 💿

[@Nate4445]

Yes!!!

[@LeviBoldock]

Warbringer never disappoints.

[@coltonheck7173]

I'm so psyched for March now. Been waiting 5 years 😁

[@luisrodas297]

Do you want more than one solos here?. Warbringer: yes.

[@MrRedSoldier1000]

Perfect lyrics guys. It is an interesting time to be alive on this earth, that’s for sure. The soul in me is crippling every day.

[@sole__doubt]

Love it. Reminds me of Children of Bodom. \m/

[@BrandonJulianWindsor7]

This is an absolute banger and I feel every lyric in my soul!

[@leylajaff]

Warbringer never dissappoints 💚

[@jfs5873]

At first I was iffy on new approach, but after giving it a few more listens, I'm now addicted. The lyrics and melodies are so good.

[@Vladnight28]

Oh yeah, my fave modern thrashers are back with another masterpiece!! These guys never disappoint🤘

[@IG00-3]

Vuelvan a Guadalajara pronto, nunca es suficiente una dosis de Warbringer

[@beastofman77]

One of my most anticipated albums of 2025

[@IG00-3]

Never change your style like some of your contemporaries, you are unique.

[@IG00-3]

Kevill es el mejor frontman del thrash metal actual con mucha diferenrencia

[@Mrkennedy071]

The last 2 albums i consider near perfect, this tracks is giving me high hopes for the next. Top tier stuff

[@simla5]

Woe is perfect imho, unironically one of the best thrash metal albums ever made. Warbringer is definetely one of those younger thrash bands that found their footing extremely quickly, their whole discography is really good.
