Based in Gouda, Netherlands - These Death Metal Warriors were originally formed back in September 2004. Inspired by bands such as Bolt Thrower, Six Feet Under & Obituary.

With some line up changes Warmaster continued their mission and played a lot of liveshows and gained a solid underground metal following & a strong reputation from all over the world.

After appearing on the metalmorphosis radio show in March of 2007, the band signed to a record label called Dutch Metal Records in late 2007 and subsequently released their debut album entitled "First War" the following year on Monday 24 March (via Dutch Metal Records).
The band have also been adding to a pretty impressive CV of Supporting Established Bands such as: Jungle Rot (US), Sanatorium (SLO), Mucupurulent (DE), Superbutt (HU), Non Divine (NL), Squash Bowels (PL),Violent Devoties (AT) & Battalion (BE).

In addition to this, the band have performed at the following festivals: Grindabalooza (2007), Flatrock (2007), Ede Metalfest (2007) & Bastille Metalfest (2008).
The band's personal highlight so far has been headlining the Grindabalooza Festival in Germany, after replacing Pungent Stench.
