WARKINGS return with their new single Genghis Khan, with German power metal titans Orden Ogan to tell a power metal tale inspired by one of history’s most formidable military forces.  The song is taken from their newly announced album, Armageddon’, out on July 4, 2025 via Napalm Records.

Watch Genghis Khan below.

The new album features strong forces – Dominum (“Hangman’s Night”), Orden Ogan (“Genghis Khan”) and Subway to Sally (“Stahl auf Stahl”) lend their weapons to the mighty kings. Adding to the sonic arsenal, Armageddon was produced by Felix Heldt and mixed/mastered by the renowned Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Powerwolf, Amaranthe). The band teamed up with further musicians to write some battle hymns on this album: Eike Freese (Dark Age, Lord of the Lost) lends his power to “Genghis Khan”, Jan S. Mischon (Saltatio Mortis) joins on “Varangoi”, and Ken Kängström (Follow The Cypher, Sabaton) co-wrote “Kingdom Come”.

WARKINGS comment:
