HAVOK Premiere New Single & Lyric Video "Fifth Generation Warfare" - Sign With BLKIIBLK

Colorado thrash metal band HAVOK have signed with BLKIIBLK, joining a roster that includes acts such as Megadeth and Biohazard. The first release from the new partnership is the single “Fifth Generation Warfare,” which has arrived alongside a lyric video now streaming online.

Speaking about signing with the label, the band stated:

“We’re excited to sign with a new label that is hungry and eager to make a name for themselves, while still being led by a seasoned veteran. The music we’re releasing with BLKIIBLK is a continuation of Havok’s history of fast and tight heavy metal and we can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on.”

Regarding the new single, the band added:

“‘Fifth Generation Warfare‘ is the first release with our new guitarist, Brett Rechtfertig. The song showcases a wide variety of HAVOK sounds; incorporating guitar harmonies, punk attitude, pummeling drums, bass lines that deviate from the guitar parts, and a message about a gnarly topic, while still leaning into optimism. A lot of HAVOK lyrics discuss negative topics, but we always try to put a positive spin on things.”
