Spanning two separate releases, the Tooth & Nail-issued War and Peace is the Seattle-based Christian metal institution's ninth studio album, and the follow-up to 2017's crowd-funded Outlive. Released simultaneously, the punishing War delivers the message-driven decibels via a punishing blend of metalcore and post-grunge, while the aptly named Peace looks to more traditional hard rock, pop, and heavy metal structures to administer the goods.
