Warhog returns with new single ‘Future Shock’

North Texas metal powerhouse WARHOG continues their dark journey into the heart of dystopia with the release of their latest single, “Future Shock”, the newest chapter in their ongoing conceptual saga The Dystopian Chronicles, Vol. III. The single is out now on all major platforms, accompanied by a lyric video.

“Future Shock” imagines a world unrecognizable — a grim future where decay thrives beneath artificial light, and human value is reduced to digital metrics and spare parts. It’s a reflection on how far we’ve already fallen, and a chilling forecast of what might still come.

“What are any of us worth these days?” the band asks. “Sometimes it seems like we’re just likes on someone else’s social media account.”

The track showcases WARHOG’s willingness to push their sonic boundaries, experimenting with guitar synths and vocal effects that inject new textures into their signature heavy sound — a creative risk the band describes as “a lot of fun.”

“Future Shock” is part of The Dystopian Chronicles, Vol. III, the final installment in WARHOG’s trilogy of EPs exploring the darker aspects of humanity through a dystopian lens — a future that may feel uncomfortably close. Originally envisioned as a full-length album, Chronicles was split into three EPs to spotlight the band’s dynamic songwriting and musical versatility.

WARHOG is a four-piece metal band hailing from North Texas. Formed in early 2020, the group spent the initial days of the pandemic tracking demos and collaborating remotely, culminating in their debut album Call of the Voyager. With a style characterized by driving, rhythmic riffs and melodic, storytelling vocals, WARHOG draws inspiration from classic metal giants such as IRON MAIDEN and BLACK SABBATH. Their mission is to create heavy music that resonates with a broad audience.

WARHOG is: 

• Scott Beetley – Vocals, Guitar
• Eric Kendall – Guitar
• Justin Hopper – Bass
• Robert Powers – Drums
