Canadian speed/thrash madmen Warsenal return in 2026 with their most ambitious and destructive offering to date: the new studio album “Endless Beginnings…”, set for release on March 20th, 2026, via Massacre Records. The record will be available as Digipak CD and Limited Vinyl LP.
Alongside the album announcement, the trio has released the first single “Feeding the Wildfire”, accompanied by an intense new music video now streaming below.
“‘Feeding the Wildfire’ is about addiction in all of its forms – how you keep feeding what’s consuming you, even when you know it’s killing you”, comments guitarist/vocalist Mathieu Rondeau, who also draws a parallel with the band’s own unstoppable drive to create and perform. “It’s the perfect track to introduce someone to Warsenal, which is why we chose it as the first single”.
Watch the video for “Feeding the Wildfire” below.
“Endless Beginnings…” pushes Warsenal’s signature riff mania, speed and controlled chaos to new heights, while introducing a layered conceptual universe. The album depicts a dystopian world ruled by an elite society called the Dawn Mowers, who live above the masses in a floating city – the Flying Fortress – casting the planet below into perpetual darkness.
Through the ministries of religion, addiction, labor and false hope, a cycle of numb servitude repeats endlessly.
Musically, the album is fiercely diverse and meticulously crafted – a quantum leap for the band in composition, precision and storytelling. It also marks the first studio appearance of drummer Zack Osiris, whose performance injects new levels of aggression and tightness into the Warsenal sound.
The album was produced by Mathieu Rondeau together with Ryan Battistuzzi, and later mixed and mastered by Olof Wikstrand at Hvergelmer Studios, while the striking cover artwork was created by Justin Cournoyer (4CII).
