PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Just when you thought a quiet summer was on the way, here comes WARD XVI kicking and screaming into 2025 with their monstrous new single Blood Is The New Black, taken from a forthcoming thirteen track studio album Id3ntity,to be released on Friday,July 11th via Earache and an album launch with Red Method at Manchester Academy 2 that follows the behemoth that was their Metamorphosis album.
The single is a bonafide pit opener and closer as these five full throttle minutes fly out of the traps on devastating downtuned industrial tinged bedlam, driven by earthquake forming drum bombast, scything riffs that slash around a skin shivering vocal as a laid back, midway spoken word piece is a brief lull until it closes like armageddon is here!

Inspired by every experience, the album is BIGGER… BADDER…MADDER than ever before. If you want blood…you’ll get it.”
