Arizona’s powerhouse trio, Weapon of Pride, has joined forces with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their album, Beneath the Surface, dropping on December 13th, 2024.

“What does signing with WORMHOLEDEATH Records mean to us? Well… absolutely everything.” exclaims frontman Ryan Arnold (vocals/bass). “WHD is high quality and run by great people. From our first point of contact with Jacopo to our signing with Carlo, the experience and support we have received throughout the process have been wonderful. We’ve worked hard and put a lot of time and effort into this album (Beneath the Surface) and really want to give it the runway it deserves. With all this work, we want it to be heard. Not only is WORMHOLEDEATH helping us make that dream come true, we have come to discover the quality lineup WORMHOLEDEATH has been building since 2008, and we are proud to join forces with them and all the bands a part of the WHD community. We cannot express how grateful we are to be invited to join the WHD roster and look forward to releasing Beneath the Surface with WORMHOLEDEATH Records.”

Weapon of Pride, a power trio from Phoenix, Arizona, has captivated audiences with their heavy riffs, thrashy tempos, and old-school vibe. Their discography includes the debut EP Retribution (2021) and the full-length album Taking Over (2023). Now, they’re gearing up to release their second album with WORMHOLEDEATH Records later this year.

Inspired by Stoner and Thrash Metal giants, Weapon of Pride blends Heavy, Thrash, Progressive, and Stoner Metal. The band features brothers Ryan Arnold (bass/vocals) and Logan Arnold (guitar), with Adam Duplack on drums.

Known for their high-energy performances, Weapon of Pride also extends their creativity into immersive music videos, enhancing their storytelling. Their single “Retribution” propelled them to the forefront of the Arizona scene, earning them a spot on local rock radio station 98 KUPD and the opportunity to write the morning show theme song, “The Morning Sickness.”

To celebrate their alliance with Wormholedeath, Weapon of Pride presents their single and video, “Shredder” featuring Ryann MorbidNight.
