“All the riffs you could ever need!” METAL INJECTION

“Fast, fuzzy and utterly fanatical about all things sci-fi and Warhammer […] Strap in and watch the galaxy burn. KKKK” KERRANG!

“Warpstormer’s debut is a statement, a knowing nod to what has come before, a dalliance with their influences but sees them defining their own course through the riff universe. 10/10” MUSIPEDIA OF METAL

“Every explorative angle taken pays off, coming together into a powerhouse package with exciting variety.” INVISIBLE ORANGES

“Their sound is fat and brutal and at its very best is like the death ‘n’ roll music that Entombed once made in their prime.” SCREAM MAGAZINE

“Their live shows have seen them earn a widespread fanbase and with this record poised to be let loose it will not be a surprise to see WARPSTORMER approaching stratospheric heights with the UK’s underground and beyond. An exciting record and one that will surely stand out from 2024. 8/10” DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE

“As they’ve delivered an outrageously epic slice of stoner metal carnage you’ll find very hard to beat and one that perfectly can be ranked as one of the standout debut albums of the year.” OUTLAWS OF THE SUN

“The riff isking here, and they’re not afraid to experiment, but what stands out is the turbulent approach to song structure that Warpstormer has…” GAMES, BRRRAAAINS & A HEAD-BANGING LIFE

“For those who can’t get enough thick riffs, WARPSTORMER supplies a large supply of good ones…” HEAVY MUSIC HQ

“While the cover, and even their moniker, suggest a fuzzed-out stoner trip, what we get is a ripping thrash attack underpinned with the down-tuned sensibilities of doom. Think The Sword gone thrash. 8/10” METAL TEMPLE

“This is a healthy dose of heavy metal, done well, and contains all the necessary ingredients to make them one of the bands to watch.” METAL EPIDEMIC

“The riffs are strong, unbridled and act as the chains that bind the carriages of justice in a medieval war machine.” MONUMENTS IN RUIN

“From the faster paced speed tracks, to the creeping headbangers, WARPSTORMER never lessens their commitment to bring forth the art of the riff or the desire of the groove.” DOOM CHARTS

“This is the kind of entry people are always looking out for. Sprawling in nature and downright enveloping in practically every given moment, the very notion of heaviness is done tremendous justice throughout these seven immense tracks as Warpstormer makes a superb foundation for future conquest.” HEAD-BANGER REVIEWS

“A strong debut that focuses on quality rather than quantity featuring seven tracks and no filler!” METAL HAMMER DE

“Their album has the ability to excite and infuse a lot of adrenaline, and demands to be listened to at full volume!” ROCKHARD ITALY

PRESS INFO:

For what initially started out as a plague-time project, the South London-based quartet have wasted no time at all in making a name for themselves amid the crowded confines of the UK underground metal scene.

WARPSTORMER, whose name is a subtle nod to the tabletop universe of Warhammer, are influenced as much by the ferocity of bands like High on Fire and Baroness, as they are by ambitious sci-fi centred classics like Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.

“As you might expect given the name, we draw pretty heavily on sci-fi and fantasy themes in our lyrics,” explains vocalist, Richard J Morgan. “But in such a way that they serve as a sort of creative vessel for exploring the more psychologically harrowing aspects of 21st century life.”

Their 2022 EP, Here Comes Hell – recorded by Morgan with close friends Matt Folley (drums) and Green Lung guitarist, Scott Black – was released to critical acclaim in 2022 as both a statement of intent and brutal smackdown on the recruitment market. Having since established a working line-up, adding bassist Simon Doggett; guitarist Adam Davies and drummer James Loh, the band’s debut self-titled album arrives this November on the recently established label, London Doom Collective.

“The first EP got us up and running,” continues Morgan. “It attracted a line-up of excellent players who understood the vibe of what we were trying to do, and we spent the next year or so rehearsing, writing and playing as many shows as we could. By the end of that year, we headed into the studio to make our first full record as a proper band. We’re really pleased with how it’s turned out and very excited to share it with a wider audience, live and on record.”

Recorded in and around appearances at Desertfest London and Bloodstock Open Air over the summer with producer Wayne Adams (Green Lung, Gnome, Wasted Death) like the “warpstorms” that inspired its creation, the album is a hellish, messed-up realm of sonic chaos. Melding stoner-doom, thrash, and classic metal into something akin to ‘speed doom’, WARPSTORMER conflates existential bleakness and bludgeoning, yet catchy riffs, into one unmissable package.

WARPSTORMER’s self-titled debut is out now on London Doom Collective.
