As genres in metal expand and each month there are more than eight releases, Warbringer needed to do something different, heavy and fast with great story lines.

This track has neck breaker drums and mesmerizing guitar riffs as well as solos all perfectly synchronized with amazing lyrics. The track pulls you in with the intro riff and drum work awakening you with Johns Kevil intro lyrical scream “firepower kills!” all which are garnished with that insane riff, perfect tempo and delivery. The standard of thrash metal of our generation has been set by non-other than Warbringer. With harmonics, and melodies this album is packed with neck breaking tunes. In track titled “Crushed Beneath the Tracks”, it is evident Warbringer can transition from thrash speed to a heavier tone riffs and still add the eruptive melodies throughout the track.
