WARBRINGER Recruit Three New Members
March 5th, 2015

Los Angeles, California-based thrash metal group Warbringer recruited new members in the form of guitarist Noah Young, bassist Alex Malmquist and drummer Vicken Hovsepian, revealing this development on March 5th, 2015.

Vocalist John Kevill issued the following statement: “I really thought that the Empires Collapse record cycle ended prematurely due to the departure of (guitarist) John Laux and (drummer) Carlos Cruz. I figured it would be the end of the band, and the end of my life’s work, as I’d really put everything I had into this band.

“I remember on the last show we played on that US tour (guitarist) Adam Carroll came to me and told me how we had to keep the torch held high and to realize the full potential of the band no matter what. We carried on the following European tour with fill-in members, as we really hate to cancel a gig and let down our fans, but it really seemed like the end for us. Fortunately, though it took a long time, we have been able to find musicians in our area to help carry on the torch of the destructive, intense music this band stands for. So welcome Vicken Hovsepian on drums, Noah Young on guitar, and Alex Malmquist on bass. Our mission since we started rehearsing together was to be the tightest incarnation of the band yet, and to raise the bar and move forward, never back. So far progress has been great and I can’t wait to get out there and unleash this new weapon upon the world.”

Fourth studio record IV: Empires Collapse was released in October 2013.
