Legendary German speed and heavy metal band Warrant return with their fierce new single Demons releasing a classic headbanging assault that keeps their legacy alive in 2025.
German speed/heavy metal pioneers WARRANT return with the new single and video "Demons" — a dark, razor-edged assault where cutting riffs, relentless drums and a searing vocal performance give voice to uncompromising inner conflict.
The band describe it as:
"A furious outcry against inner emptiness and mental torment. Torn apart by demons, trapped inside a twisted mind – this song hits hard and shatters any illusion of comfort. No salvation. No angels. Just pain, rage, and one final scream for redemption. A dark anthem for a world in free fall. The song calls out hypocrisy, hatred, and betrayal. It's the uprising of one against lies and collapse. No peace, no forgiveness — just fire, revenge, and a final attempt to turn the tide before everything goes down."

The legendary band – originally formed in 1983 and known for their cult albums "First Strike" (1984) and "The Enforcer" (1985) – are back with a record which reconnects with their roots while pushing their sound into the present.
Recorded and mixed by Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart Studios (Troisdorf), mastered by Michael Schwabe at Monoposto (Düsseldorf), and featuring cover artwork by renowned artist Gyula Havancsak, the album captures WARRANT's uncompromising vision with power and precision. Produced by frontman Jörg Juraschek, the record also features pre-production by Norman Jonas.
Alongside brand-new material, "The Speed Of Metal" includes two special highlights: "It's Up to You" – originally written in 1988, re-recorded and reborn with new energy – and "Windy City" – a powerful cover of a song by glam legends The Sweet, a lifelong dream of vocalist/bassist Juraschek.
With the addition of guitarist Adrian Weiss alongside longtime member Michael Dietz, WARRANT return to their classic four-piece lineup, delivering a wall of dual-guitar power, blistering solos, and relentless speed.
