Jan. 3 — Independent hard rock band War Angel recently released its latest single, ‘Armageddon‘ and the song’s companion video.
The band enlisted the assistance of Rob Dukes (ex-Exodus, Generation Kill) vocalist Rob Dukes for the song, whose sociopolitical message is delivered clearly through its video. The song’s musical arrangement is an infectious composition whose guitar line pairs with Dukes’ vocal talents to make a whole that exhibits influence from the likes of Anthrax and Killswitch Engage.
The band discussed the song’s lyrical theme in a prepared statement.
“The song is about the importance of mankind being united against the common problems like pollution, social media addiction, war, poverty and being controlled by the governments through the media,” the statement reads in part. ”We’re Standing Side by Side, Brotherhood of Man!”
Dukes, who also appears in the song’s video, said in his own statement, he appreciated working with War Angel on the new single.
“It was an honor to work with War Angel from Iran on the song ‘Armageddon’,” Dukes said. “They are a great band playing metal in one of the most oppressive environments on Earth, yet they keep moving forward, regardless of the continual prospect of prison, or worse. They come from a dire situation and it’s inspiring. I only hope one day, somehow, I can join them onstage somewhere and play it live with them. They are what metal music stands for – giving the finger to the establishment of oppressors!”
