Warhog returns April 10 with “Ethereal Journey,” a new 3-track metal EP built as a sci-fi fantasy space adventure — equal parts high-energy anthem, sprawling cosmic descent, and Classic Metal homage.
The lead single “Starlight” kicks things off on March 6. It blasts off with a high-octane charge, telling the story of space explorers searching the stars for a new world to call home. It’s Warhog at full throttle: aggressive, memorable, and built to stick.

The title-track “Ethereal Journey” expands the universe into a 23-minute epic. The song follows a lone space traveler answering a mysterious transmission from across the stars, driven by hope of saving humankind during a time of collapse. What he finds instead is a source of limitless power — and a psychological unraveling that blurs the line between salvation and madness.
Closing out the EP is Warhog’s Heavy take on the UFO classic “Doctor Doctor,” re-imagined through a Modern Metal lens while paying respect to one of Hard Rock’s most enduring anthems.
“Ethereal Journey” also features Chris Lucci (Humanness Test) on drums across all three tracks, bringing relentless precision and power to the EP’s cinematic scope.
The EP drops April 10 on all major platforms. Set coordinates. Prepare for launch.
