In a world where silence is a weapon and thoughts are the last battleground, WARD XVI returns with « We Are Legion », a searing anthem of collective resistance wrapped in barbed-wire riffs and theatrical fury. This isn’t just metal, it’s a manifesto for the mentally defiant. Driven by thunderous guitars and chilling synths, the song plunges listeners into a claustrophobic nightmare where prison bars bend under the weight of free will. « And you will come to realise that you never had control », hisses vocalist, delivering every line like a sharpened blade. The track’s cinematic video, masterfully directed by Richard Oakes (Dark Fable Media), turns the band’s psych ward mythos into a fever dream of rebellion, with inmates conspiring through shadows and sound. Raw, immersive, and hypnotic, « We Are Legion » is not just a cry of freedom, it’s a call to arms. You’ve been warned: this is more than music. This is Slash Music.

Id3ntity: WARD XVI Unleashed
Hailing from the UK’s darker corners, WARD XVI isn’t just a band, it’s a deranged theatrical force. Led by the commanding presence of Psychoberrie (vocals, synths), the lineup,Doktor Von Stottenstein, Wolfy Huntsman, Bam Bam Bedlam, Rico Rameres, and Nurse Betty, fuses macabre storytelling with metal fury and freakshow energy. Their third album, « Id3ntity », dropping July 11 via Earache Records, promises to deepen their twisted universe with tracks like « Blood Is The New Black », « Macabaret », and the defiant « We Are Legion ». But WARD XVI doesn’t stop at the studio: this autumn, they hit the road for a full-blown UK tour, bringing their immersive live spectacle to venues like the London Roundhouse, The Cluny in Newcastle, and The Bunkhouse in Swansea. The climax? A psychotic celebration at Manchester Academy 2 on July 25. A new era is dawning for UK metal’s most theatrical insurgents, WARD XVI are taking the asylum on tour, and they want you inside.
