British death metal legends, BENEDICTION, have unleashed the first single from their their upcoming new studio album, Ravage Of Empires, which is due to be released on April 4, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records. The new song is called 'Engines Of War' and it connects well with BENEDICTION's monumental comback record Scriptures (2020) and their classic album Transcend The Rubicon from 1993, offering titanic growls by Dave Ingram towering over a barrage of riffs and unrelenting grooves. As of today, Ravage Of Empires is available for pre-order on CD, LP and as digital album. More info on the physical formats below.
Alongside the single, BENEDICTION have premiered a music video today, which was shot by Martin Goltermann.
