Dub War are a metal band from Newport, Wales, formed in 1993, built around vocalist Benji Webbe alongside guitarist Jeff Rose, bassist Richie Glover, and drummer Martin 'Ginge' Ford. Their fusion of heavy metal, punk, reggae rhythms, and dub effects made them early progenitors of what critics termed 'ragga metal,' and the band released two albums on Earache Records — Pain (1995) and Wrong Side of Beautiful (1996) — before disbanding in 1999. They reunited in 2014 and released Westgate Under Fire in 2022, their first album of new material in over two decades.
