We got Cody Quistad from Wage War and one of the best mustaches in metalcore on the show this week. Their new album “Stigma” just dropped and they announced new tour with ERRA, Thrown and Fame on Fire.
The new album is a huge evolution for the band’s sound and it’s not meant to please everyone. We talk about how their previous album “Manic” changed everything for them, working with Falling in Reverse and A Day To Remember, why Nickelback rules, the best movie soundtracks and more.

I got introduced to wage war in 2021 via octane with their single circle the drain. Immediately went and checked their catalog. I absolutely love Manic and I really like Stigma. Catchy melodies and big choruses are popular for a reason. And I’m here for it

I will be at that Florida arena show in Orlando. Totally fuckin stoked. Saw them debut Tombstone live at rockville which was amazing. I live in Ocala, hopefully one of these days I'll run into them around town 🤣😂

Love Wage war. In my opinion their best records to date are Blueprints and Deadweight.

I have been telling who ever will listen about the new album and that they have to have sold their souls because 5 albums in and every song is a banger!

Honestly this video had a funny long term kind of joke telling. “You guys aren’t a copy paste band like others can be” and then later go on to say you can’t find songs you don’t like on the record…. Cody says Blur is one of his standouts, yet the opening riff is the EXACT riff Cody wrote for Light Years by The Ghost Inside. Literally copy/pasted a riff…. As the band that gets joked at for Low being like Doomsday by Architects. Wage War record is fine. Songs are listenable, just feels rushed to make a deadline date to me. 10 songs. Some definitely felt unfinished as if they would probably tweak things themselves with more time to do things (ex: hellbent opening country-ish verse… couldve used it in verse 2 but instead it just seems random, despite sounding good). It probably is their worst work, imo, but it’s more accessible to a more casually audience so it won’t be unsuccessful for them. In conclusion, you calling them not a copy paste band made me lol cause it just felt ignorant knowing it just isn’t true. I hope you keep up with other bands releases too and not just the ones you need work from so it seems more genuine and not talking points most interviews have.

I like How they are talking about not being a copy and paste band but then half of stigma is just manic in a different key. There’s way more manic on this album then actual metal

Are you joking ? This whole album is one of their heaviest in years . Lol nickleback core he says 😂

@Viper8962 10 күн бұрын

This album was definitely their worst whole project yet, pushing boundaries isn’t the same as copy and pasting manic 5 out of 10 times, Rewriting circle the drain and then having maybe 3 or 4 original sounding songs
