Rose Funeral To Join Full Blown Chaos, Battlecross & Diamond Plate

Rose Funeral released Gates of Punishment on September 27th and has thus far been heralded as the band's best effort to date. Fans that have seen Rose Funeral live in the past know that the band puts on an intense show. This tour will be no different with guitarist Ryan Gardner now handling vocal duties. Rose Funeral will be joining the tour on November 15th in Spartanburg, SC.

Recently, Rose Funeral shot a video for Beyond the Entombed. The video is dark, blasphemous and will be premiering worldwide soon. Until then, here are some still photos from the shoot:


Gates of Punishment is a fitting progression of the band's dark and foreboding sound. Guest vocal appearances from local Cincinnati opera singer, Kate Alexander, and Steve Tucker of Morbid Angel add to the dark atmosphere that is created throughout the album. Seven string guitars tuned to drop A, haunting melodies, insane blasts and enough groove to keep heads banging will make this one of the heaviest releases of 2011.

Warbringer Premieres “Shattered Like Glass” Music Video

For North American WARBRINGER fans that have been anxiously waiting for the band's new album, Worlds Torn Asunder, your day has finally come! Worlds Torn Asunder is now available in stores and online for purchase. In regards to the album's release, guitarist John Laux comments, "Good news everyone! We are very pleased to announce the official release of Worlds Torn Asunder! This is WARBRINGER's 3rd release and we guarantee it's gonna leave your ears bleeding. If you guys believe in supporting music you love, purchase a copy and support your artists. We put hours of thought into each and every detail of the art and music contained on this compact disc. So...Enjoy the tunes and SHRED ON!"

In addition to the album's release, today also brings the debut of WARBRINGER's new music video, "Shattered Like Glass", on Revolver.com! Rather than churn out the "standard" live-in-an-abandoned-warehouse music video, WARBRINGER decided to give "Shattered Like Glass" a horror movie treatment with help from Director Dave Vorhes (http://www.bigfootage.net/) and actor Don Danielson.

To watch the music video for "Shattered Like Glass", please head over to Revolver.com for the exclusive premiere:

From now until Sept. 28th at 9AM PST, WARBRINGER and Guitar World.com are giving fans the chance to listen to Worlds Torn Asunder in its entirety, so be sure to preview the album while you still can! Click the link below for the exclusive Guitar World.com stream:

Reviews for Worlds Torn Asunder are already rolling in! Be sure to pick up your copy of the soon-to-be thrash classic in stores and online in North America today.

"With their third full-length album, L.A.'s WARBRINGER have come into their own, penning a dynamic record heavy with apocalyptic disillusionment and technical proficiency." - REVOLVER MAGAZINE

"This is what EXODUS used to sound like...only better." - METAL HAMMER UK

"WARBRINGER has once again shown why they are the best thing going today in the thrash scene, and one of the best metal bands in general." - METAL REVIEW.com

Beginning October 3rd, WARBRINGER will be on the road for their headlining tour dubbed "America Torn Asunder". Sponsored by Guitar World and Metal Army, this month-long trek will take them around the country with support from friends LAZARUS A.D., LANDMINE MARATHON, and DIAMOND PLATE. Over the last 3 years, the Cali thrashers have built a reputation for their live shows and work ethic, playing an average of 300 shows per year--but this will mark WARBRINGER's first proper US headlining tour.

The band promises a few surprises to step up their performance, so make sure to attend. Advance tickets are on-sale now at www.enterthevault.com, and tour dates for "America Torn Asunder" are below.
