WAR OF AGES IN CONCERT:
Christian metalcore outfit War of Ages rocks out in order to “make a difference in a world that’s covered in darkness”, and they succeed brilliantly every time they light up the stage. At their live shows the band tears through hard-hitting cuts like “Collapse” and “From Ashes” with passion and energy to spare, treating ticket buyers to complicated riffs and breakneck drum passages anchored by the savage screams of frontman Leroy Hamp. Whether they’re waxing spiritual between songs or getting fans thrashing with their blistering tunes, War of Ages always deliver an uplifting, cathartic, and decibel-shattering concert experience.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
War of Ages formed in Erie, PA in 2002 under the name Point Zero. After self-releasing the EP Unite Us All under their original moniker in 2004, they redubbed themselves War of Ages and in 2005 released their self-titled debut album. In the years that followed the band toured extensively while also maintaining a prolific release schedule that included Pride of the Wicked (2006), Fire from the Tomb (2007), and Arise and Conquer (2008). The group scored a breakthrough in 2010 with their fifth album Eternal, which landed on the mainstream pop charts and helped them reach a wider audience. Since then they’ve been a tireless presence on the road while continuing to release acclaimed records including 2014’s Supreme Chaos, a stellar outing that critics hailed as their best album to date. With the record still fresh in fans’ minds and their lineup in peak form, War of Ages are set to blow minds on their 2015 tour dates.
