A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to hang with California thrash metal outfit WARBRINGER. The band speaks very candidly about its beginnings, getting signed to Century Media, and its dream thrash tour lineup. When asked how they feel about this whole "thrash revival," guitarist John Laux stated "That's what they're calling it. We have a different attitude about it though. We didn't start the band going 'Let's revive the corpse of '80s thrash metal.' We were like 'let's play metal that is really metal.'" It's a cool interview, peep it above…
Also, the band has just announced a slew of tour dates with FINTROLL. That sounds like an awesome bill. Thrash and folk metal? How can you go wrong? Dates below..
