this is in my top 3 of the year so far. start to finish, a quality, enjoyable listen for me! and as a side note, i watched a lot of interviews with John and think his take on writing about war is unique and much more interesting focusing on the human condition. this album is a perfect complement for Woe To The Vanquished, which also has several long songs, and is the start of the new leveled up phase of Warbringer.
Daniel, could you review the more things change by machine head, chaos ad by sepultura and far beyond driven by pantera please. Would love to hear what you think of those albums! Your the man
Warbringer is by far my favorite of the "New Wave of Thrash". Their shows are amazing and Kevil is one of the most approachable and friendly musicians I've had the pleasure of talking with.
Hard to believe it’s been so long since this came out(remember mentioning it on your Havok review) truth be told, don’t believe Banger has missed anything. Especially as we are plagued and music is essential and should be enjoyed, listened to and studied/researched at all cost. By any means necessary. Excellent as always DeKay🤘🏾🤎✊🏿🖤
Warbringer is one of my favourite (younger) thrash metsl band but I can't say that I've never been disapointed by some of their material from time to time ! Their 3rd album was a bit of a letdown for me but the worst was IV Empires Collapse, not a BAD album but very meh ! Their last 2 are awesome, no doubt about that !
@@etienneparent6912 i bought, but couldn't get into 4, just meh. Personally I just love the first two albums, so amazing. 3rd is ok. This one is pretty good
It's too bad you guys didn't review any of the two last albums of Annihilator, they were great and refreshing, would love to hear Daniel's opinion on it, or Sam's. :)
Way better than 'V'. It's thrashier, has a good balance between fast, mid-tempo and slow songs, atmosphere(I just didn't feel it in Havoks V), and V is way too long
Im kinda the opposite. I didn't like the doomier sounding songs personally. Havok's V has great thrash from start to finish but I understand what you mean 🤘🏽
I love Warbringer, have all their releases. I agree with the production, performance, and technical praise but as a whole release it misses me. It’s not bad but it doesn’t touch some of their other stuff. JMO.
I love warbringer have been a huge fan since 2009 my favourite albums war without end 2008 waking into nightmares 2009 worlds torn asunder 2011 empires collapse 2013 not so much woe to the vanquished 2017 a little too nuclear blast polished for me but love this album
I love the album though I have the same criticisms Daniel has, a bit too long, a bit too "experimental" maybe? Still, those guys know how to break some fucking necks, one of the best records of the year hands down!
Love this album and the black metal influences they have incorporated in their recipe. Mixing influences is what made bands like Warbringer, Power Trip or Vampire (mixed of thrash and death) stands out! That's why the new Havok seems almost too clean, too much in the line of what has been done a 1000 times..
Wait !! WhAt did he say,, ??? I think the Canadian accent is so strong I misheard him!!! It’s definitely a 5 weaponized skull review.... not 4! This is the best Thrash album released , since D.A. Evil Divide
“Weed Metal”, is that a label I’m unaware of, or a band I’m unaware of, or just a cool shirt? Edit: also, this album kicks ass! One of the few thrash albums I really love this year!
@@BangerTV Which is based off the black sun design made specifically for Heinrich Himmler. Even more decades. I guess you simply weren't aware of this, but as a Jew with german heritage I gotta say I'm a little bit disgusted. Even though I'm a stoner as well.
@@MaroonLoto Hey! As the dude wearing the shirt (who also happens to be a Jew) just thought I'd clarify that the shirt is a parody I designed based off the Canadian label Banzai records Speed Metal logo found on some of my fav releases. No ill intentions here: as far as I knew this logo originated from an oldschool Shediac New Brunswick phonebook. I guess I'll have to fact check that now to be sure. Did not mean to offend anyone - apologies!
@@daniel_dekay It came off more grumpy than I intended it to be, so I apologize myself. I still find it unsettling though and hope sensibility in the metal scene will grow. Thanks for the reply!
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REVIEW THE EXCELLENT 2ND ALBUM BY CANADIAN HEAVY METALLERS "TRAVELER" TITLED ''TERMINATION SHOCK''. MIND YOU, EVEN THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT LAST YEAR WAS AN EQUALLY KICKASS ALBUM. BELIEVE IN YOUR SHOW, THERE IS NOT MUCH ROOM FOR TRADITIONAL HEAVY / SPEED / HEAVY-POWER METAL OR NON-USA BANDS.
That's... uh... I mean, great that you love the album - I do too - but I feel like that's just about the complete opposite of the reaction they were trying to inspire in people.
Everyone said this was the best album of '20 at the Havok V release and I bought it right away and listened to it dozens of times but I still like Havok more. I think it's the Black Metal parts. Not that it really matters but the album art is not very good at all. Lamb of God and Misery Signals are really taking over my Thrash time, NWOAHM maybe my most listened Genre this year.
I think it does matter about the album art, i don't care for this cover at all. I was so relieved when the music more than made up for it. I prefer this over Havok but i think there's enough styles to go around.
I really dislike this band (funny, the vocals are the worst part, IMO), but always enjoy the reviews. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but this sounds like a thrashy hipster-metal band to me. That Bodom sweatshirt in the photo doesn't help. Meh.
I love listening to this dude nerd out and analyze albums - the passion and the descriptions are great! 🤘
Thanks for watching man!
Dekay one of the best in the business
Warbringer really outdid themselves on this one. All killer, no filler, awesome album!
this is in my top 3 of the year so far. start to finish, a quality, enjoyable listen for me! and as a side note, i watched a lot of interviews with John and think his take on writing about war is unique and much more interesting focusing on the human condition.
this album is a perfect complement for Woe To The Vanquished, which also has several long songs, and is the start of the new leveled up phase of Warbringer.
Warbringer brings the pain every single time. I love the hell out of this album.
"whos is Warbringer and what do they do?" is the question I ask myself just to remember that montage with Arnie ...
Classic.
This is definitely Top 5 Metal releases this year.
I love Warbringer and I love Weapons of tomorrow!!
SO do we.
YES! I thought you guys weren't gonna review this one. Loved this record, really stellar progression from the last record
Surprise!
Adam Carroll was an original member but he left after worlds torn asunder and came back soon after I believe
Ya he came back after Empires Collapse
Thanks for the info!
Awesome review and both bands in the shout out are amazing to!
Love this guys passion. I could sit and drink with this guy all night chatting about metal! 👌🏻
I could drink and talk about metal all night any night, that's what I do on Twitch haha -Dekay
This is an incredible album and I always love watching your reviews, Dekay - you're amazing! Keep on thrashing \m/
Daniel, could you review the more things change by machine head, chaos ad by sepultura and far beyond driven by pantera please. Would love to hear what you think of those albums! Your the man
The passion coming out of DK's mouth is amazing!! Really pumps up the expectation for the record!!
Warbringer is by far my favorite of the "New Wave of Thrash". Their shows are amazing and Kevil is one of the most approachable and friendly musicians I've had the pleasure of talking with.

Better late than never!
Good job on Incantation.
Everything is Better with Banger 😆
Love the album! Always pushes forward.
Great video love the shirt 🤘
Dooooood! Dekay, you’re shirt is killing it! Also great album and review man.
🤘Thanks for the review😊 this album does feel like a modernised And Justice For All and I do love the opening and closing songs though
Like the small Riley photo in on the vinyl shelf. RIP
RILEY GALE FOREVER
Does anyone know where I can find the fullest version of the BangerTV intro song?
Limewire
Best of 2020 so far. Defiance of fate is a masterpiece. What a great album
That song came out of nowhere and blew me away
I heard some Slayer and Kreator on that track. Nice.
Thanks for introducing me to Warbringer!!
Much better than the new Testament if you ask me
WARBRINGER is great live, saw them with EXMORTUS about 2 years ago and the drummer played both sets.
Honestly, Idk how Warbringer outperform themselves everytime they release a new album.
Warbringer is one of my favourite (younger) thrash metsl band but I can't say that I've never been disapointed by some of their material from time to time ! Their 3rd album was a bit of a letdown for me but the worst was IV Empires Collapse, not a BAD album but very meh ! Their last 2 are awesome, no doubt about that !
They’re the first underground thrash band I got into. They’re amazing and they helped broaden my taste
@@etienneparent6912 they definitely achieved a new level of quality with the last 2. Weapons of Tomorrow is a masterpiece imo.
@@etienneparent6912 i bought, but couldn't get into 4, just meh. Personally I just love the first two albums, so amazing. 3rd is ok. This one is pretty good
Keeps getting better!
Why the Riley photo on the shelf? What do you guys know that we don't?
patiently waiting on a review for Black Crown Initiate's new album.
Amazing album and band, is someone from bangertv will react the new and self titled Neaera Album awesome one BTW!
One of the best modern thrash metal band🤘
This album Kicks Ass ! It is one of best Thrash releases this year
Dude is know one going to talk about the album art! ITS SICK!!!!!
All their art is fucking dope
Saw them open for Iced Earth and Symphony X in 2012.
What a bill
It's too bad you guys didn't review any of the two last albums of Annihilator, they were great and refreshing, would love to hear Daniel's opinion on it, or Sam's. :)
You guys should review Expander's new album neuropunk boostergang. Its trippy
This guy is a great reviewer
Thanks Jose!
Thanks for the Night Cobra recommendation, it’s tight
Stoked to hear more from them!
So far, best 2020 thrash album. And in my top 3 overall for this year. Amazing.
Way better than 'V'. It's thrashier, has a good balance between fast, mid-tempo and slow songs, atmosphere(I just didn't feel it in Havoks V), and V is way too long
Im kinda the opposite. I didn't like the doomier sounding songs personally.
Havok's V has great thrash from start to finish but I understand what you mean 🤘🏽
I love Warbringer, have all their releases. I agree with the production, performance, and technical praise but as a whole release it misses me. It’s not bad but it doesn’t touch some of their other stuff. JMO.

I really enjoyed it, but I do agree some songs dragged on a bit.
Great review Great album🤘🏻
Thanks for watching!
I love the album though I have the same criticisms Daniel has, a bit too long, a bit too "experimental" maybe? Still, those guys know how to break some fucking necks, one of the best records of the year hands down!
Not sure why you guys are always mentioning when things get Grammy nominated, as if that means something
@@BittersweetDuality Lmao I liked it but I get where you are coming from. Not their heaviest stuff.
it’s about time.
Do a review on the new possessed album!!!
This one? th-cam.com/video/gZtUcl_Vb8Q/w-d-xo.html
Fuck yes! Probably the best thrash metal release of 2020.
Number 1 of the year for me!
Best Thrash band and best album no question
ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
A review on Onslaught - Generation Antichrist would be great \m/
Vote for it on Patreon!
Primitive Man review please!
Vote for it on Patreon!
John Kevill is one of the best front men in metal today, never disappoints 🤘🏻💀
Power unsurpassed is one of my favourites on the album, just because that chorus riff is something that makes me wanna fucking mosh.
Finally!
Woe To The Vanquished- “Pretty Good”. Get the fuck outta here that album is fucking bomb. When The Guns Fell Silent is a god damn masterpiece of metal
Amazing record, it reminds me to Demolition hammer
Great comparison!
This is a fucking exceptional thrash metal album.
Love this album and the black metal influences they have incorporated in their recipe. Mixing influences is what made bands like Warbringer, Power Trip or Vampire (mixed of thrash and death) stands out! That's why the new Havok seems almost too clean, too much in the line of what has been done a 1000 times..
awesome album! really hope they tour with Havok when the world goes back to normal.
Agreed, that would be sick.
Finally 😁 Love the record.
Better late than never, right?
This album definitely seems like a step in the direction of Death Metal, which I'm good with. It fuckin sounds great
Wait !! WhAt did he say,, ??? I think the Canadian accent is so strong I misheard him!!! It’s definitely a 5 weaponized skull review.... not 4! This is the best Thrash album released , since D.A. Evil Divide
Great review and a great album. But dude, move the mic. Your voice fades out every time you move forwards.
He's getting better haha
This is my album of the year so far
Awesome album 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey banger community today’s my birthday, Let’s Rock on 🤘 🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Happy Birthday Julio Santos !
@@BangerTV thanks keep on doing what you're doing. I love it. You've made my day
hell yea! feliz cumpleaños! happy birthday!
@@rocioiribe5841 thanks keep on metaling
Zum Geburtstag!!!
Love Warbringer🤘
Who is warbringer and what do they do . 😆😆
I'm gonna guess ... they bring war? Stab in the dark, lol
Kevill is one of the best frontmen in the biz.
Great album
Great review but it’s pronounced keeeeee vull and adam carroll is an og member as well
FINALLY
Easy 5/5 skulls
5/5 for me. Less is totally unfair.
That ARNIE bit made I laugh lots !
We have some amazing editors here!!!
Just say it's an amazing record for fuck's sake
“Weed Metal”, is that a label I’m unaware of, or a band I’m unaware of, or just a cool shirt?
Edit: also, this album kicks ass! One of the few thrash albums I really love this year!
That's just Daniel Dekay haha
It's like a parody of the classic Speed Metal shirt
Ok, thanks for the replies! 🙏
Haha thanks!! It's a shirt I designed and sell online
Warbringers best album. Period.
One of the better releases this year.
Definite AOTY contender IMO
This album was so fucking good
Hahahahaha!! Kindergarten Cop at 1:19!
Singer sounds like Russ from Forbidden
TOTALLY!!!!!!
If you're sleeping on this band then there is something wrong with you lol
I like sleeping, what's wrong with that?
I do lol
Still better than Havok
Wait, another Adam that switched from drums to guitar? 🤔
weapons of tomorrow, V, and Stygian Bough are tied for my album of the year
🤘☺️🔥
In Canada endless quarantine? Guys, cmon...
I am not liking this shirt design tho. Looks a bit fascisty? Black Sun and all that jazz. Why?
It's based off the speed metal logo, which has been around for decades.
Cool, keep in rockin' in the nazi-free world!
@@BangerTV Which is based off the black sun design made specifically for Heinrich Himmler. Even more decades. I guess you simply weren't aware of this, but as a Jew with german heritage I gotta say I'm a little bit disgusted. Even though I'm a stoner as well.

Overkill is for the big releases, you should check out Cassette Cult for Trad metal
This album is so great I wanna join my buddies and go fight in this little European war
That's... uh... I mean, great that you love the album - I do too - but I feel like that's just about the complete opposite of the reaction they were trying to inspire in people.

Why your hair is always wet?
Please let Brad do August Burns Red - Guardians
This album was great but glorious end was cringe af. 4/5
I really dislike this band (funny, the vocals are the worst part, IMO), but always enjoy the reviews. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but this sounds like a thrashy hipster-metal band to me. That Bodom sweatshirt in the photo doesn't help. Meh.
Who’s Bodom? Is that Sodom fronted by Bono?
@Douglas Fisher like who ??? I'd LOVE to know who you think is better....
just a question im throwing out there, NOT giving you shit !!!!!
