Warbringer julkaisi tulevan albuminsa toisen singlen ”The Sword And The Cross”

Yhdysvaltalainen thrash metal -yhtye Warbringer on julkaissut toisen singlen tulevalta albumiltaan. ”The Sword And The Cross” -single sai seurakseen lyriikkavideon. Yhtyeen ”Wrath And Ruin” -albumi julkaistaan 14. maaliskuuta Napalm Recordsin kautta.
Vokalisti John Kevill kertoo kappaleesta:

”’The Sword and the Cross’ was the first song we wrote for ’Wrath and Ruin’ and sets the tone for the album. We have a dark, epic thrashing number where a callous lord tells the audience how and why he owns them. First, establishing himself with brute violence (the Sword). Second, legitimating himself with ideology (the Cross). The end of the song was written first, where this lord says that he is still present, and reigns in skyscrapers rather than castles, that his sons will own your sons, and he will own you long after he dies. I love this section and it feels absolutely maniacal and evil to sing.

One of the chief themes on the record is ’techno-feudalism.’ Though our rulers may have given up their crowns and titles, they never relinquished their power. The modern lords are no less our masters than the medieval ones were.
