Biography

Warmaster formed in 2004 by guitarist Rik van Gageldonk and drummer Andre van der Ree for an old school death metal band. In 2005 singer Corne Bijlemeer and bass player Alex Schluter completed the band. The band members already knew each other from their previous and present bands like Asphyx, Gorefest, Thanatos, and Houwitser. Warmaster was influenced by old school death metal bands like Bolt Thrower, Obituary, and Master.

In February 2013, the band returned to the studio to record 2 songs for a split 7-inch EP and its second full-length album The End of Humanity, scheduled for release in June (7-inch EP) and September (album) 2013 via Deadbeat Media and Slaughterhouse Records.
