Following the triumph of their 2023 comeback Here For None, Finnish metal juggernauts WARMEN are charging back with Band Of Brothers, their most cohesive and crushing record to date. Set for release on August 15th via Reaper Entertainment, the album signals a bold new chapter for a band that has fully transcended its origins as a Children of Bodom side project.
“We really wrote this album together,” says keyboard wizard and founding member Janne “Warman” Wirman. “It feels like a real band – a true band of brothers.”
In 2025, WARMEN stand reborn—heavier, tighter, and more ferocious than ever. Band Of Brothers delivers a brutal yet melodic experience, fusing anthemic hooks with a cinematic scope and unrelenting heaviness. It’s a sound that makes one thing clear: WARMEN are no longer a side gig—they’re a main event.
Forged in Fire, Refined by Masters
Band Of Brothers was recorded across multiple studios in Finland, and shaped into sonic perfection by the revered duo of Mikko Karmila (mixing) and Mika Jussila (mastering) at Finnvox Studios.
Frontman Petri Lindroos (Ensiferum) brings his signature snarl and shredding precision, helping to define the new WARMEN sound—razor sharp, melodic, and unmistakably modern. The visual side is once again helmed by Aleh Zieliankievic, who returns after his standout work on Here For None to create another striking album cover.
Lead Single & Live Onslaught Incoming
The title track, “Band Of Brothers”, leads the charge as the album’s first single and a cornerstone of the band’s 2025 live set. Following the album drop, WARMEN will hit the road hard, embarking on an expansive European tour. Notably, the band will play their first-ever shows in Hungary and Switzerland, alongside a headlining tour across Finland.
The official launch will explode onto the scene with a special release show at Summer Breeze Open Air on August 15th, setting the stage for what promises to be WARMEN’s biggest era yet.
