Warmen - Band Of Brothers [Colored Vinyl] (Ylw) (Spla)

Limited yellow splatter colored vinyl LP pressing. With "Band Of Brothers", Warmen boldly underline their claim to be the rightful heirs to the legendary Children of Bodom. Out on August 15th via Reaper Entertainment, the new studio album marks the band's next step forward - harder, tighter, and more united than ever before. Following their acclaimed comeback "Here For None" in 2023, Warmen are now raising the stakes with a record that delivers pure intensity. Compact songwriting, explosive performances, and a stronger-than-ever band chemistry define this release - a true Band Of Brothers in every sense. The album doesn't follow a central concept but draws lyrical inspiration from raw emotion, real-world frustration, and fictional violence. "Some lyrics were written out of anger about the state of the world," says keyboardist and founding member Janne 'Warman' Wirman. "Others are based on movies or true crime shows. But the energy is always real." Musically, Warmen dive deeper into melodic death metal while maintaining their trademark mix of melody and technical finesse. Vocalist and guitarist Petri Lindroos (Ensiferum) once again delivers a blazing performance that cements him as the voice of modern Warmen. For the first time, songwriting was a fully collaborative process - with Petri and drummer Seppo Tarvainen contributing their own riffs and even full tracks. Parts of the album were recorded at the legendary Finnvox Studios; Mikko Karmila (mix) and Mika Jussila (master) provided the band's unmistakably heavy Finnish sound. The title track Band Of Brothers is already a live favorite and will play a central role in the upcoming tour - including a massive release show at Summer Breeze Open Air. Warmen are back - stronger, heavier, and ready to claim the throne. Origin: FInland For fans of: Children of Bodom, Ensiferum, In Flames, Slayer
