WARBEAST: New Song Posted Online

March 18, 2010

WARBEAST (formerly TEXAS METAL ALLIANCE),the band featuring RIGOR MORTIS vocalist Bruce Corbitt, GAMMACIDE guitarists Rick Perry and Scott Shelby, GAMMACIDE/DEVILFIST bassist Alan Bovee and DEMONSEED drummer Joe Gonzalez, will release its debut album, "Krush The Enemy", on April 27 via Philip Anselmo's (DOWN, PANTERA) Housecore Records.

The last track from the CD, "We Are The Vultures", is now available for streaming the band's MySpace page.

Commented the band: "The lyrics are about our fascination of Medieval times and human torture devices. The fact that the human race invented machines to torture and kill other human beings. Then it became a form of entertainment and the crowds flocked like vultures to watch. We really are the sickest creatures on the planet."

The song's lyrics can be found at this location.

A CD-release show will take place on May 8 at Ridglea Theater in Fort Worth, Texas. WARBEAST will be joined by a "surprise special guest" during the concert, which will also include additional appearances by HELL GOAT, MITRA, BLOOD STAIN CARPET and TURBID NORTH.

Anselmo previously stated about WARBEAST, "For myself, WARBEAST epitomizes 'the DFW [Dallas/Ft. Worth] thrash metal' sound to its maximum.

"Having grown up seeing RIGOR MORTIS and GAMMACIDE live, collecting their demos and knowing the guys in these bands during my younger, more impressionable years left a resounding imprint on me.

"People know that I was born in New Orleans, but I moved to the DFW area to join PANTERA when I was 17, so I had the privilege of being a part of, and living somewhat vicariously through both local scenes. And the magic of that was how different sounding both scenes were, and how absolutely awesome it was to watch the emergence of the two of them. Having the best of those two extreme worlds not only influenced me as a musician, but it made me fan of both scenes, for life!

"When I listen to modern-day thrash, after two or three songs, I pretty much know what I'm getting thereafter. There's no way in hell ANYONE can say that about WARBEAST. No fucking way. Without bowing down to the doldrums of an obvious 'technical metal' band nor to today's EXODUS worship, every song is its own SONG; riff-delirium, thunderous cadences and classic thrash vocals delivered in TRUE, classic thrash style.

"WARBEAST are a great band… and will prove to be major players in the very near future…you can bet your ass on that."
