War of Ages

Based out of Erie, Pennsylvania, decibel-pushing, spiritually charged Christian metalcore outfit War of Ages specializes in a muscular blend of post-hardcore/screamo and melodic, faith-based death metal. Formed in 2002 under the moniker Point Zero, the band issued its first album under the name War of Ages via Strike First Records in 2005. The buzz from that album carried the group over to Facedown Records for their sophomore outing, 2006's Pride of the Wicked. 2008's Facedown-issued Arise and Conquer and 2010's Eternal were produced by As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis, who contributed vocals to the latter. 2012's Return to Life was recorded with and engineered by Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed) at Planet Z Studios, and 2014's hard-hitting Supreme Chaos came to life with the help of Josh Barber (Norma Jean) and Will Putney (For Today). October 2017 saw the release of the singles "Cut Throat" and "Creator" in anticipation of the arrival of the band's eighth full-length, Alpha, which was issued later that December. The hard-hitting full-length effort Void arrived in 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger
