With World War Dinosaur, VICTORIUS unleash their most powerful and cinematic chapter yet. The holy war between dinosaurs and ninjas erupts once more, louder, larger, and more explosive than ever. Across twelve adrenaline-fueled tracks forged in cosmic steel, the band merges triumphant power metal with cartoon-fueled chaos, creating a world where fantasy and firepower collide.
“With World War Dinosaur, we went deeper into the theme of the holy dino war and added a stronger military edge,” the band comments. “It’s the most epic and hymn-like album we’ve ever written—100% VICTORIUS, but bigger, tighter, and more intense. We’ve never worked this hard on an album before. Only more is more, and this time, we went all in!”
The new single “Raptor Squad Attack” bursts forth with high-octane riffs, soaring melodies, and an irresistible chorus built for the battlefield. Accompanied by a retro, arcade-inspired video, the track channels the band’s trademark blend of heavy metal heroics and over-the-top imagination.
“The mission for ‘Raptor Squad Attack’ was clear: write a song that unites all the trademarks of VICTORIUS while keeping it straight to the point—no distractions! Our allies will love it… and so will our enemies, haha!”
