Colorado Thrashers HAVOK Share New Single 'The Ultimate Weapon'

Thrash metal powerhouse HAVOK has shared the new single "The Ultimate Weapon", alongside an official video, which can be seen below.

The band commented: "We're excited to debut this new song right before our two headline tours begin. We'll be playing 'The Ultimate Weapon' live and look forward to hearing crowds shout the choruses with us. Driving riffs, rock 'n' roll attitude, and anti-authoritarian lyrics. This is what heavy metal is all about. This is HAVOK."

This month, HAVOK will embark on a tour across Europe, with BLOOD RED THRONE, XONOR and ERADIKATED. The band has also announced a massive North American headline tour for fall 2026, joined by HELLRIPPER, SLACKJAW and XOTH. The 26-date North American run kicks off October 21 at Metro Music Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah, before tearing across the United States and concluding with a hometown show at Denver's Gothic Theatre on November 20.

HAVOK possesses an airtight grasp on the fundamentals of thrash, enabling them to usher the genre into the fire of the future. The Colorado quartet lock and load throat-slicing guitars with breakneck rhythms and venomously vitriolic vocals. After piling up tens of millions of streams and earning acclaim from Metal Hammer, Loudwire, Consequence Of Sound and many more, the band ignited their first independent release, the "New Eyes" EP, in 2024.

HAVOK has never stopped pushing forward without apology. Thus far, they've unleashed a series of fan favorite albums, including "Burn" (2009),"Time Is Up" (2011),"Unnatural Selection" (2013),"Conformicide" (2017) and "V" (2020). The latter represented a critical high watermark, with Metal Hammer proclaiming, "HAVOK have nailed 21st century thrash."

Along the way, the group also lit up stages on tour around the world with the likes of MEGADETH, ANTHRAX, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, TESTAMENT, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, EXODUS, SEPULTURA, KREATOR, CHILDREN OF BODOM and many more.

HAVOK recently signed with BLKIIBLK, the heavy music imprint of Frontiers Label Group, debuting on the label with the single "Fifth Generation Warfare".

Kickstarting this next era with worldwide touring and new music coming in 2026, HAVOK has enabled itself to move at a prolific pace. In the end, HAVOK are leveling up and taking thrash with them.
