In case you missed it, we voted Warbringer‘s 2017 album Woe to the Vanquished as the best thrash metal album since the turn of the millennium. So while we’re a little bummed that the band won’t be in our neck of the woods for their upcoming tour, we’re none the less stoked that someone’s going to get a chance to see them.
Warbringer will be touring the West Coast and midwest later this year with classic thrashers Heathen and morbid contemporary crew Misfire. The trek kicks off this September in California, loops up and around into the midwest, and closes back in SoCal. Fun fact, I’ll actually be in Albuquerque for the Launchpad show, so if you see a doughy Anselmo who doesn’t know where the bathroom is, say hi.
Says the band’s own John Kevill:
“This September, Warbringer is finally hitting the Western USA in support of Weapons of Tomorrow. It’s been way too long, and the band is fired up as hell to get out there and bang some heads. The bill this time includes none other than legendary Bay Area thrashers Heathen, as well as Misfire. It’s looking like it will be a fantastic tour that will bring some serious riffs to the stage. Can’t wait to get back out there, and looking forward to seeing all of you raging at the shows.”
