First album of new material in 26 years - thirteen tracks of politically charged hip-hop influenced punk metal, lead by one of the greatest frontmen in metal, Benji Webbe of Skindred.
Earache Records is proud to present the triumphant return of the original ragga-metal dons, Dub War. Westgate Under Fire is the band's first new album of new material in over 26 years after originally signing to Earache Records in the mid '90s.
The album features 13 tracks of politically charged hip-hop infused punk metal, spearheaded by frontman Benji Webbe, who also fronts the hugely successful metal band Skindred. Benji is widely renowned as one of the best live front men in metal and has won multiple awards. Westgate Under Fire is named after 1839 revolutionary South Wales uprising - its lead single "Blackkk Man" lights the fuse for a powerful record armed with truth bombs, including a lyric video featuring the George Floyd murder by US Policeman Derek Chauvin.
Dub War have enlisted some comrades help on this album with features from Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour), Tanner Wayne (In Flames), Ranking Roger (The Beat), Spike T Smith (Killing Joke), Dave Chavarri (IL Nino) and Mikey Doling (Snot).
