Dub War have shared another track from their upcoming album.
Get Back Up serves as the fourth preview of 'Westgate Under Fire', the band's first LP of new material in over 25 years, due out on August 5 via Earache Records.
The new cut finds the genre-mashing band—comprising Skindred's Benji Webbe, Richie Glover and Jeff Rose—collaborating with Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin. Proggy, with driving heavy, guitars, the song also sees singer Webbe displaying a more melodic side to his vocals. He said:
"I've always wanted to empower and lift those who are going through a tough time, and in days like this, who isn't.. This is what Get Back Up was created for.
"I called Mike Bordin about him playing on this particular Dub War track. Mike has been a Dub War fan from way back. He eventually called me back and, with passion, said 'I’m in'…
"Together with us, Mike really set the pace for all the other drummers on the album. The style and sound of Bordin strikes hard and shines though on Get Back Up."
Bordin added: "In this time of isolation/alienation, it was such a pleasure to be able to groove and flow with my old friend, the mighty Mr. Benji Webbe. Welcome back Dub War, and thanks for bringing me along on your ride.
"Webbe’s lyrics are on time and strongly on point, encouraging and inspirational in a time when we can all use a lift. Being asked to play on this Dub War song couldn’t have come at a better time. This album 'Westgate Under Fire' is truly bringing the fire."
It'll be joined on the record by the previously unveiled cuts Vibes In The Place, War Inna Babylon, and Blackkk Man.
