Colorado thrashers HAVOK have signed a deal with BLKIIBLK, making them labelmates with Megadeth, Biohazard and more. The first fruit of this new partnership comes in the form of “Fifth Generation Warfare“, a brand new single which you can find a lyric video for below. On signing with the aforementioned label, the band offered:
“We’re excited to sign with a new label that is hungry and eager to make a name for themselves, while still being led by a seasoned veteran. The music we’re releasing with BLKIIBLK is a continuation of Havok’s history of fast and tight heavy metal and we can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on.”
As for this new single, the group added:
“‘Fifth Generation Warfare‘ is the first release with our new guitarist, Brett Rechtfertig. The song showcases a wide variety of HAVOK sounds; incorporating guitar harmonies, punk attitude, pummeling drums, bass lines that deviate from the guitar parts, and a message about a gnarly topic, while still leaning into optimism. A lot of HAVOK lyrics discuss negative topics, but we always try to put a positive spin on things.”
