Experimental heavy rock explorers Warchief are proud to announce their eagerly awaited second album, »Toil & Trouble«, set for release on July 18, 2025.
Hailing from Finland, Warchief’s sound is a dynamic fusion of stoner, doom, and sludge metal, infused with elements of grunge, 90’s alternative rock, progressive rock, and AOR. Rooted deeply in heavy rock traditions yet boldly experimental, the band crafts immersive sonic journeys propelled by relentless energy and nuanced interplay between crushing heaviness and delicate melodies.
Since their 2011 demo »For Heavy Damage« and their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2015, Warchief has continuously evolved their sound. Their 2019 EP »Morning Home« marked a shift towards more progressive and exploratory territories while retaining their heavy, sludge-laden core.
»Toil & Trouble« builds on this evolution, amplifying the band’s signature contrasts, combining quiet beauty with crushing heaviness in complex new ways. This sophomore release captures the band at a peak of creative exploration and sonic mastery.
To celebrate the album announcement, Warchief unveils the second single, »Mothmaker«, a track that perfectly encapsulates the album’s blend of atmosphere and power.
»Toil & Trouble« will be available on July 18, 2025, on CD, colored vinyl and digital platforms via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records.
