In the grim darkness of the 3rd millennium, there are only riffs… ‘Warpstormer’ is out 29th November on London Doom Collective. FFO: High on Fire, Orange Goblin, Mastodon.

For what initially started out as a plague-time project, the South London-based quartet have wasted no time at all in making a name for themselves amid the crowded confines of the UK underground metal scene. Band, whose name is a subtle nod to the tabletop universe of Warhammer, are influenced as much by the ferocity of bands like High On Fire and Baroness, as they are by ambitious sci-fi centred classics like Jeff Wayne’s ‘War Of The Worlds’. “As you might expect given the name, we draw pretty heavily on sci-fi and fantasy themes in our lyrics” explains vocalist, Richard J Morgan. “But in such a way that they serve as a sort of creative vessel for exploring the more psychologically harrowing aspects of 21st century life.” Their 2022 EP, ‘Here Comes Hell’ – recorded by Morgan with close friends Matt Folley (drums) and Green Lung guitarist, Scott Black – was released to critical acclaim in 2022 as both a statement of intent and brutal smackdown on the recruitment market. Having since established a working line-up, adding bassist Simon Doggett; guitarist Adam Davies and drummer James Loh, the band’s debut self-titled album arrives this November on the recently established label, London Doom Collective and can be pre-ordered in several editions and formats including Cosmic Blast (transparent magenta/purple splatter, limited to 50 copies) and Eldritch Blue (100 copies) LPs, with CD, cassette and digital versions rounding out the offerings.
