A hard-charging neo-thrash unit based out of Newbury Park, California,
Warbringer were founded in 2004 while the bandmembers were still in high school. Inspired by first-wave thrash giants like
Death Angel,
Metallica, and
Anthrax, the group recorded a promising demo that eventually led to an EP, One by One, The Wicked Fall, in 2006. The EP was solid enough to capture the attention of Century Media, which quickly signed
Warbringer and released their debut album,
War Without End, in 2008. The following year saw the release of
Waking Into Nightmares, which was produced by
Exodus guitarist Dan Seagrave, and in 2011 the band dropped its third studio long-player,
World Torn Asunder.
IV: Empires Collapse arrived in 2013, followed by the punishing
Woe to the Vanquished, the band's first for Napalm Records, in 2017.
Warbringer returned in 2020 with their punishing fifth full-length effort,
Weapons of Tomorrow. ~ James Christopher Monger
