Warbringer
Iv: Empires Collapse
The 2013 album by Warbringer, 'IV: Empires Collapse', comes now as a limited 500 copy run on blue and green vinyl in an expanded package. The album showcased the band aiming to diversify their sound and taking chances by expanding boundaries by continuing to bring in more influences from black metal to punk to industrial in a overall more experimental and free effort that was initially met with mixed reactions but has become a favorite amongst many in the band's fanbase. Continuing to work with producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Hatebreed, Symphony X) the band opted for a different mix and enlisted Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Avenged Sevenfold) who brought a cleaner and different approach to the traditional thrash band. The reissue adds the band's take on the Led Zeppelin classic 'Communication Breakdown'.
