Promoter Jade Presents has announced metal bands Wage War, While She Sleeps, Gideon & Chamber will play at the Sanctuary Events Center on Sunday, May 8, 2022. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 28

Wage War have forged an ironclad hybrid of battering ram grooves, gnashing guitars, and melodic hooks in the heat of those extremes. The Florida quintet—Briton Bond (lead vocals), Cody Quistad (rhythm guitar, clean vocals), Seth Blake (lead guitar), Chris Gaylord (bass) and Stephen Kluesener (drums)—only strengthened their creative bond on their fourth full-length offering, “Manic” (Fearless Records). Musically, the band struck a seamless balance between bludgeoning grooves, soaring melodies, electronic fits and battering ram riffs, straining their past, present and future into one cohesive statement. After amassing nearly 300 million streams and receiving widespread acclaim, the group delivered 11 anthems meant to connect through turbulence.

“Manic” represents the apex of an intense creative journey. They built a diehard audience with “Blueprints” (2015) and “Deadweight” (2017)and through incessant touring. 2019’s “Pressure” exploded right out of the gate. “Low” piled on 24.9 million Spotify streams with “Who I Am” at 10.7 million Spotify streams and “Me Against Myself” at 8.4 million Spotify streams.
