Gods of War is an extreme metal band from Liverpool, UK. Formed in 2009, the band has consistently defied subgenre classification, as their music takes influence from many metal subgenres, including black, death, power, thrash and folk metal among others. The band has undergone various lineup changes in recent years, resulting in changes in musical direction.

While retaining the core elements of sinister black/death metal vocals and fast paced, thrashy drum beats, the music has taken a decidedly darker and more atmospheric direction in new tracks such as 'Gods of Old' and 'Angmar'
