The album Wrath and Ruin, the seventh studio album by thrash metal band Warbringer, released on March 14, 2025, via Napalm Records, has received largely positive reviews for its aggressiveness, experimentation, and lyrical relevance, although some reviews point to inconsistencies in its ambition.
Wrath and Ruin is widely praised for its aggressiveness, high-quality production (Mark Lewis), and socially relevant lyrics, addressing themes such as inequality, environmental crises, and political power. Tracks like "The Sword and the Cross," "A Better World," "Through a Glass, Darkly," and "Cage of Air" are often highlighted for their innovation, blending thrash with elements of black metal, melodeath, and progressive metal.
John Kevill's voice is celebrated for its intensity, and the band is recognized for evolving the genre without losing its essence. However, some critics point out that the more straightforward thrash tracks sound generic, and the extended length of some songs can dilute their impact.
The album is seen as an ambitious transition, with moments of brilliance, but still seeking a balance between experimentation and tradition. The live album is a welcome bonus, capturing the band's energy on stage.
