Warbringer släpper sitt fjärde album IV: Empires Collapse den 28 oktober via via Century Media Records. Albumet spelades in tillsammans med producenten Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicide Silence), mixades av Brett Eliason (Pearl Jam, Heart), omslaget designades av Adrienne Rozzi.
Bandet kommenterar omslaget, ”The artwork for Empires Collapse came about from wanting to take a much more focused and simplistic approach. Previous Warbringer album covers are extremely detailed, busy works, so it was a conscious decision to have art that was the antithesis of what we had done before. John Laux came up with the concept, so we had our friend Adrienne Rozzi make up a sketch, which led to us having her follow through with the final piece. It’s incredibly different from what most fans would expect for a Warbringer album cover, but we wanted the art to visually reflect the music. The piece reminds me of a tarot card illustration and sets a very cryptic, somber vibe which associates well with the music that ties into the album’s title.”
