Warlago emerged from California's Inland Empire in 2021, conjuring black metal that carries the vast, sun-blasted strangeness of the Southern California interior rather than the expected Scandinavian cold.

Raw, atmospheric, and distinctly of its place.
Death/black metal band from Compiègne, France emerging in 2024. Warlord delivers a dual assault of death and black metal from the historic Picardy region north of Paris.
