War Of Ages released their sixth studio album,“Supreme Chaos”, this past week [July 22] on Facedown Records. Yesterday, they have followed up the release with a music video for its lead single, ‘From Ashes.’ which was shot on location in Girard, PA and Westfield, NY. The video can be seen below.
“Supreme Chaos” is their most potent album yet. On “Supreme Chaos” the band steps into deconstruction territory, approaching the recording process with a structured plan of “writing metal songs, ripping them apart, and adding powerful new elements.” Recorded with Josh Barber at Covenant Studios (Norma Jean, EISM) and mixed by Will Putney (Impending Doom, For Today), it would seem that “Supreme Chaos” got the royal treatment from some of the finest sound engineers in the business.
War Of Ages are confirmed to play “Hell On Earth” 2014 tour.. Boston’s metal outfit Unearth is headlining the European tour and will bring the clubs to a boil with their heavy sound! Their colleagues in Shadows Fall are also on board. They will be supported by The Acacia Strain and War Of Ages. But that’s not all! You can look forward to one more band per show. The trek kicks off on Aug. 28 in Germany and runs to Sept. 14. dates and locations are listed below.
War Of Ages is as much ministry as heavy music and that spirit shines through their songs. Main songwriter Steve Brown lends his well-known classic metal and New Wave Of Swedish Death Metal-inspired chops, which first came to light on the band’s prior Facedown releases Pride of the Wicked and Fire from the Tomb.
With the kind of mastery that can only be born from fervent passion, Brown weaves melody with might, building a sound framework for Leroy’s inspired and crucial storytelling. Only years of collaboration and a thick friendship could produce the command and virtuosity held by War of Ages.
The band’s most recent album “Return to Life” has been released on April 24 2012 via Facedown Records. “Return To Life” was recorded with Zeuss at Planet Z Studios [Shadows Fall, Chimaira, Hatebreed], and is the band’s finest accomplishment to date. Return To Life features some of War of Ages‘ most personal material, and continues with their unique brand of Warrior Metal for which the band has become infamous.
