Black Warrant

Black Warrant is a German thrash metal powerhouse formed in 2016 by ex-Sodom guitarist Bernd "Bernemann" Kost and drummer Markus "Makka" Freiwald, later joined by vocalist Sippo "Sippe" Vähä-Sipiläinen (ex-Destruction). Blending razor-sharp riffs, pummeling rhythms, and socially conscious lyrics, the band channels the raw energy of classic Teutonic thrash while tackling modern political and existential themes. Their discography, including albums like *The End is Fear* (2023) and *The First Will Be the Last* (2018), features tracks such as "War & Propaganda" and "Victim of Hope" that showcase their signature blend of aggression and groove. Known for their live intensity and veteran musicianship, Black Warrant carries the torch for thrash metal’s legacy while carving their own path with relentless, riff-driven anthems.
