The band comments:

“From the dark corners of the urban jungle, a primal leader, the Ape Warrior emerges. Having only one goal: to take down and conquer. With his lightning speed and heavy pounding the Ape Warrior is a worthy challenger for the mighty and powerful Acid Viking.
“Ape Warrior” continues the band’s familiar drive, raw energy, and primitive vocals, but this time, inspired by bands such as Motörhead and Wolfbrigade, we wanted to bring in a bit more punk/heavy metal attitude into it.

The song’s story playfully tells of a man who wants to live outside of society and simply be left alone, but as that doesn’t work out, he says “F*ck it” and decides to set the world on fire.”

Earthblood was founded in the spring of 2023 by a group of friends, fusing elements of dirty and gritty Sludge with the fast tempos and riffing of genres such as Thrash and Death metal.

They humorously describe this sonic wall of sound as Thunder Ape metal. Earthblood’s first EP titled “Primal Fury” was released by Inverse records in the September of 2023.

Not wasting any time, the second EP bearing the name “Witchburner” was released in April 2024.

Now after two years, the apes of the Earthblood have returned with two thunderous singles “Ape Warrior” and “Hatched in Hand” which is set to be released on April 16th 2026. They continue the mighty and powerful soundscapes of both previous EP’s.
