The Metal Resource8/10 [1]

The Metal Resource writes, "As a band, the performances on this album are great. Many bands in this genre end up with all their songs sounding the same by the time everything is put together, but that is not the case here, which makes this a good listen. Guitar riffs are fast and show good variety; the drumming shows great speed as one would expect in the genre, but also some great variety fills, tempo changes, and double bass work; vocals are not simply all guttural death metal style and are delivered with a sense of strength; and even the bass guitar that is often largely absent from the mix in this genre contributes to the overall sound."

Artwork and concept

When asked in an interview with HM Magazine if Warbound was a concept album, Guitarist Kevin Tubby replied

There's really not a main theme around the record, but the theme around the title track is about the return of Christ as he's portrayed in Revelation 20. The way he comes back with varnished bronze skin, with white shining from the holes in his hands and side, with fire in his eyes and crowns upon his head, with a robe dipped in blood, riding on a white horse. We kind of added our imagination, and got hooked up with this really awesome artist name Jon Zig and he put it together for us. [2]

Generally, dub consists of remixes of existing recordings created by significantly manipulating the original, usually through the removal of vocal parts, emphasis of the rhythm section, the application of studio effects such as echo and reverb, and the occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works.
