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!”

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!

[CarsonSenseney_metal_head]

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

[chondrinenigma]

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

[CHRlSBLAlN]

Ironically, this is giving me hope for tomorrow

[jfs]

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.

[lordbegravelse]

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

[carlosaugustomaresdias]

*FINALLY!!!*

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

[sagarkarma]

"No hope for tomorrow, the future is dead." 🤘🏿🤘🏿

[adamrad]

I usually don't care about lyrics pretty much at all. But man, these lyrics really got me. These lyrics along with the music is just perfect to really capture what so many people are feeling in the world of today. So well done.

[curtisrusko]

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

[frenchthrasher]

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

[MrRedSoldier]

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.

[dasmaddoktor]

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

[ViciousDenjalicious]

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

[ivanduran]

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

[decadenceincarnate]

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

[TheMetlGod]

The energy this song has got me headbanging at my desk at work lol. Also, John's statements are true.

[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!

[erxzzqv]

good ol' warbringer bringing the thrash and still fresh af.

[peephole]

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