Power metal warriors WARKINGS release their latest anthem, „Hangman’s Night,“ the final single from their upcoming new album Armageddon, which will be released this Friday via Napalm Records! The haunting track „Hangman’s Night“ also causes a stir with an intense guest appearance by Dr. Dead, frontman of the horror metal band DOMINUM.
„Hangman’s Night“ tells the story of once powerful Knights Templar who were betrayed and condemned as heretics. In the glow of the blood-red moon, the group awaits the gallows – not with fear, but with unyielding brotherhood and grim determination. Underlined by sharp guitar riffs interspersed with thunderous drums, relentless rhythms and a powerful gothic flair, the song draws the listener into the final stand of the fallen – will they fight for glory or embrace the noose?
The new music video is being released just in time for the band’s live season – and it’s going to be a wild one. In addition to numerous festival conquests, WARKINGS will celebrate their official release concert on 5 July in Aschaffenburg – together with Hammer King! But that’s not all: in 2026, power metal warriors WARKINGS will tour Europe with VISIONS OF ATLANTIS as part of the Pirates & Kings co-headliner tour. Another glorious chapter in their triumphant march through the metal landscape of Europe. All tour dates can be found below!
Watch the official music video for „Hangman’s Night“ and get ready to dive into the battles of Armageddon this Friday.
The Crusader comments:
„Betrayed, overrun, but never broken – the Templars stood until the end.“
