Colorado’s DREADNOUGHT presents their new single, “Color Of Our Broken Hearts.” The track comes off the band’s Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light full-length set for release on September 11th via Vesperian/Metal Blade Records.

With Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light, DREADNOUGHT reaches beyond. Bending and re-coding the worlds of heavy music, they pull the listener along a journey of chaos, purity, and power. With this watershed release on Vesperian, the band find themselves at the precipice of the moment, hurdling into tomorrow with an epic that can only be described as “world building metal ethera.”

Serving for many years as one of the best kept secrets in music, DREADNOUGHT has always carved a space of their own. Across numerous releases traversing from progressive stylings through folk infused extreme metal and entrancing atmosphere, the Colorado grown outfit find themselves stepping into their most clearly defined and reinvented form with Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light. This album captures all of the grandeur, the embattled struggle, and the heart of what can only otherwise be found in timeless epics of video gaming, or other imagined elseworlds.

Where previous records unfolded across vast, demanding terrain, Wars Of Spirit // Wards Of Light finds DREADNOUGHT at their most focused — sharper, more immediate, yet no less singular. Cover art by Eisner Award-winning artist Christian Ward, whose psychedelic, neon-charged visual language feels like the only adequate counterpart to the music.
