In March, Wage War dropped a catchy, rock-leaning single called "Magnetic." Turns out, it was just the set-up punch. Now, the Ocala, Florida, metalcore leaders have unleashed a follow-up and it's a knockout blow.
Titled "NAIL5," the song opens with sleek synths and cool, modern-pop-tinged vocals before exploding into an almost danceable industrial-metal groove and unhinged roared vocals. Blast it above via its high-octane music video.
The new single arrived alongside the announcement of Wage War's upcoming fifth album, STIGMA, which is due this summer.
"'NAIL5' is a tribute to our fifth album and continuing to push the envelope in every way, and in this instance, the heavy side," Wage War commented in a joint statement. "We took the elements that we loved from our past discography and turned it all the way up. The message: You're either in or you're in the way."
STIGMA is due out digitally June 21st via Fearless Records, with physical editions set to drop September 6th. Those include an exclusive "mineral" vinyl colorway limited to 500 and available only through Revolver's shop and those of our sister brands, Alternative Press and BrooklynVegan.
