OBEY THE RIFF AND RAISE THE SWORD! New Zealand’s Beastwars are back with their brand new single and video – Raise The Sword. The song and video was made with the support of New Zealand on Air.
This track and new album is their first new music in a number of years – this is their triumphant return after vocalist Matt Hyde underwent over 6 months of treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2016 – and he is now in remission. They announced their new album “IV” in April – which was shaped by Hyde’s recent experiences. It will be released on Friday June 28 through Destroy Records. Merch bundles can be pre-ordered now at http://www.beastwars.bigcartel.com.
Beastwars are taking the record on the road – touring New Zealand and Australia in June/July – presented by Panhead Custom Ales.
