California thrash attack Warbringer have posted the video for “Severed Reality,” a track from their new release Waking Into Nightmares. Check out the sweat-soaked madness below.

In other Warbringer news, the band has been forced to drop off the last couple of live dates on their current tour with Exodus and Kreator. Warbringer drummer Nic Ritter had to leave the band due to an elbow injury, and Epicurean drummer John Gensmer was employed to finish out the tour; sadly, Gensmer cannot play the last four dates. Warbringer assures fans that Ritter’s injury will not affect their scheduled June dates.
