Four winters have passed in the Lair of the Minotaur. Mountainous riffs, pounding. Emerging from the caustic burrows of vast caves by the great lake in the mid-western plains. Choosing a path of crushing annihilation, under the sign of the Southern Lord. Ancient war cries spit forth with a sharp tongue. Heralding CARNAGE, and then triumphantly THE ULTIMATE DESTROYER. Now murder reigns... Prepare for the age of the WAR METAL BATTLE MASTER.

The third full length, WAR METAL BATTLE MASTER out March 25 2008 on Southern Lord Records (SUNN91). A concept album about solving conflicts with a big fucking axe. Recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker and mastered by Scott Hull. The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an executioner.
