FINAL WAR returns with two new tracks, “Born From The Darkness” and “Final War”, and they don’t hold back for a second. Pulling from the lineage of metallic hardcore and old-school metalcore, the band channels a sound that feels violent, suffocating, and straight-up malicious.
Featuring Mutation, “Born From The Darkness” grinds forward with punishing riffs, bleak melodic tension, and an atmosphere that feels like it’s closing in on you.
