WARBRINGER Inks Worldwide Deal With CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS - Aug. 8, 2007

Wednesday, 08 August 2007
In an era when vintage metal t-shirts are en vogue and bands worshiping at the altar of every crossover band that released a demo or EP in the '80s are crawling out of the woodwork, Los Angeles thrashers WARBRINGER are cauterizing the competition with a sound that recalls all the classics without being derivative. Never before has the evil, no-holds barred sound of Baloff-era EXODUS, SLAYER's "Hell Awaits", and KREATOR's "Pleasure to Kill" been revived and revitalized for the 21st century in such a strikingly inspired and pure fashion. After recording their self-released EP to unanimous rave reviews, appearing on the "Speed Kills…Again!" compilation, playing to thrash-starved crowds across the west coast and attracting serious label interest, they're ready to take the next step with their full-length debut courtesy of their new home worldwide, Century Media Records.

DOWN Guitarist: 'We Just Want To Make Killer Music'

Aedan Siebert of Australia's The Metal Forge recently conducted an interview with DOWN guitarist Pepper Keenan. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

On DOWN's upcoming third album:

"We started working on it (the new album) right before Hurricane Katrina — we'd talked about it, and started getting together right before then. Then when the storm came, we all got separated for a series of months. After that, it took awhile for us to get together, and once we got everything organized back down here in New Orleans, we really started focusing on the record."

"We started out in the barn, we write everything over there you know? But a lot of studios in the Louisiana, New Orleans area where we live at are gone, or were destroyed or damaged, so we ended up recording the record in Los Angeles. It was cool for us to get out of town for awhile, you know? 'Cause it's been kinda hard down here sometimes. We got out of town, and we could really focus on the music, and that's what we did. And we're almost finished! We've got like two more songs to mix. I think it comes out around the end of September — that's what we're shootin' for."

On DOWN's songwriting approach:

"Well, it's a super-honest thing, you know? We've known each other for years and we don't have anything to prove, because we've all proven it in our own bands, in our way so getting together here allows us to take off all the bulls**t you know? We just go straight for the throat and play music. Everyone knows us and we've got a lot more freedom to exercise and just play music from the heart, you know? We're not out there to make a product, you know what I mean? We just want to make killer music and I think a lot of people appreciate the fact that we do that."

On being billed as a metal "supergroup":

"Well, I don't look at it like that 'cause we all grew up together! We knew everyone in the band before we were even in a band, you know what I mean? So it's kind of like a bunch of school yard kids who still hang out. We're just fanatics about music. We've all been in other bands, which I guess helps us to a degree, but basically DOWN is just a band that we created because that type of band didn't exist in our generation, you know? So we wanted to create something that was real and not based on trends or anything like that, you know?"

Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, "Metalocalypse" follows the on- and off-stage adventures of DETHKLOK, an incredibly talented and insanely popular Norwegian heavy metal band. DETHKLOK boasts the lineup of vocalist Nathan Explosion (lyrical visionary), Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Toki Wartooth (two of the fastest guitarists alive), bassist William Murderface and drummer Pickles — the soul of the band. Not really.

"Dethalbum" features a guest appearance by legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, DEATH, DARK ANGEL, TESTAMENT). He previously stated about the CD, "What a killer metal record! I can't wait for everyone else to hear it, and since it has now been slated for a September 25th release, that is now gonna be sooner than later, especially with leakage. And yes, it appears that we are going on tour with it as well! The logistics are being worked on as we speak, but it looks like it's gonna be a real killer, multi-media show. I'm looking real forward to that, I've even suspended the booking of a ton of clinics to clear my schedule to be available."
