Colorado's genre-defying Dreadnought have announced the pre-order for their forthcoming album Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light, due 11th September via Vesperian. Alongside the announcement, the band have unveiled a second glimpse of the record with new single 'Colors Of Our Broken Hearts'.

With Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light, Dreadnought enter the most clearly defined and boldly reinvented chapter of their career to date. Continuing to bend and re-code the boundaries of heavy music, the album moves between chaos, purity and power, weaving synthesizers and electronic elements into a songwriting approach that feels more direct and immediate than ever, while retaining the expansive, otherworldly character that has always made the Colorado band so difficult to categorise. Described by Dreadnought as "World Building Metal Etherea," the record is a fitting evolution of a sound that has never sat comfortably within a single genre.

Where previous releases unfolded across vast and demanding terrain, Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light finds Dreadnought at their most focused, sharper and more immediate yet no less ambitious or singular. Progressive metal, folk, electronics and atmospheric exploration converge across an album that moves between stillness and upheaval, grief and transcendence, tracing an inner conflict that feels simultaneously cosmic and deeply personal.

The album was mixed by Julius Mauranen of Oranssi Pazuzu and mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde, while its visual world comes courtesy of Eisner Award-winning artist Christian Ward. His psychedelic, neon-charged artwork provides a fitting visual counterpart to an album that refuses easy definition.

Still impossible to define. Still impossible to ignore.
