Warkings – Armageddon Review

By ClarkKent

Those of you hoping to turn your ancient civilization cosplay group into a power metal band, sorry to burst your bubble–Warkings has beat you to it. Including Armageddon, this prolific German outfit has released five albums since their founding in 2018.1 Perhaps realizing that one new LP per year is not sustainable, Warkings waited three years to record Armageddon. In that span, the quartet has transformed itself into a quintet, making permanent Morgana le Fay, who previously served as a guest collaborator. Admittedly, it’s not easy to take a group seriously when it dresses up and poses like the members in the band photo below. Fortunately, nobody takes power metal too seriously anyway. Trve fans only care about the following questions: Is the album fun? Is it catchy? Does it make you sing and dance to ridiculous choruses? Let’s find out if Warkings checks these boxes.

Warkings follows the Sabaton and Powerwolf schools of power metal, playing with high levels of bombast while following Sabaton’s lead in writing about historical events. These range from a song (“Armageddon”) about a Viking raid on a church in 793 to a song (“Genghis Khan”) about the famed Mongolian ruler to a song (“Hangman’s Night”) about when France’s King Phillip IV arrested and executed the Knights Templar in 1307. Those unfamiliar with Warkings’s previous work might assume the addition of a female vocalist puts them in the beauty and the beast dynamic of Epica or Nightwish. In a twist, it’s the female, Morgana le Fay, who performs with an edgier, more aggressive approach than the male, The Tribune. The Tribune has a cleaner, softer sound than his Sabaton and Powerwolf brethren, while Morgana le Fay sounds more like Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. The difference in impact that these two have couldn’t be starker. Whereas The Tribune brings a more upbeat feel akin to Fellowship, Morgana le Fay adds grit, which is most evident on the relentlessly heavy “Circle of Witches.”

Don’t expect a hearty meal from Armageddon; it’s more like junk food for your ears. Just as junk food hooks you with additives like sugar and salt, Warkings hooks you with effective, catchy choruses and high-energy drum beats. Opening tracks “Armageddon” and “Genghis Khan” are particularly tasty morsels. If there was ever a heavy metal sing-along album, those two songs would be near the top of the playlist. There are plenty of other examples of good earworms, but Armageddon is at its best on collaborations with other German power metal bands. These include “Hangman’s Night” performed with horror-themed collaborator Dominum, and “Stahl auf Stahl” performed with folk-themed Subway to Sally. On these songs, the bands mix and match their strengths, such that “Hangman’s Night” adds atmospheric chanting and “Stahl auf Stahl” features some tasty violin melodies alongside the guitars.2 Just as too much junk food will make you sick, Warkings wisely limits tunes to four minutes or less, and the fourteen-track record clocks in at a swift 40 minutes.

With some modifications, Warkings could upgrade into a more filling and nutritious snack. For one, while the guitar riffs are adequate in driving the high energy, they’re often generic and uninspired. Sometimes the riffs are great during the intro and chorus but disappear during the rest of the song (“Genghis Khan”), or they’re just bland throughout (“Kingdom Come”). The solos similarly suffer a lack of imagination, and they’re so brief you wonder why Warkings bothered in the first place. The other issue is that Armageddon sags in the middle. This is where a couple of four-minute tracks, “Kingdom Come” and “Kings of Ragnarok”, prove the wisdom of the wham-bam approach. When you rely on simple formulas without including Ascension–level shredding during the solos, anything longer than three minutes starts to spoil.

Armageddon marks my first venture with Warkings, and admittedly, I wasn’t impressed during my first few listens. With each subsequent listen, however, the hooks embedded themselves deeper and deeper into my brain. Those who are more familiar with Warkings might be happy to learn that they appear to have benefited from the lengthier gestation period between albums. They have come back from this break not only with a new member who benefits their sound, but sharper songwriting and stronger choruses. So prepare to dust off your old suit of ancient armor and regale your neighbors with anthems about centuries-old historical events.

Thomas James, AME minister, escaped slavery. He says as a Black person, when he goes among religious who are “enlightened”, there’s still a cold current of neglect. He cannot call himself a part of this.

Any communities today that feel this is necessary, lest inclusion, or speaking up against neglect, offend the majority?

How can you create atmospheres surcharged with sympathy for others?
