Landfall

“No one’s safe, better brace for the landfall!” <b>Wage War</b> vocalist Briton Bond’s exhortation on the opening track of <i>Landfall</i> sets the tone for the band’s sixth album. Recorded back-to-back with the <i>IT CALLS ME BY NAME</i> EP that they released in April 2026, both projects were tracked with vocalist/guitarist Cody Quistad in the producer’s chair for the first time. The result is a self-contained work that sees the Floridian metalcore crew incorporating their myriad influences—everything from Korn and Cannibal Corpse to EDM and pop—into a thoroughly modern and genre-blending album. Thematically, Wage War touches upon broken relationships (<b>“Figure 8”</b>), metaphorical and literal storms (<b>“Landfall”</b>) and even offer up what might be their first love song (<b>“Stay with Me”</b>).
