| Unclassifiable and without any hint of compromise, Warrior Soul will ram themselves slowly down your throat and leave you motionless. It's the sort of music that you really wouldn't have heard in the '70's, nor the early '80's, because Warrior Soul are the first band of the 1990's to hint at what the '90's hold hard - rock - wise. |
| An at at times superbly strange and twisted mixture of high-tech, futuristic vocals and the power of big music make Warrior Soul something to keep an eye on. Of course their derivative is the same as any band's -old rock n' roll- but their presentation leaves them, at the most, maybe in the same country as Queensryche. More accurately, they are moving into their own space at their own pace on their own time. It's sure as hell chunky, with the fat hunks of "Charlies Out Of Prison" and the grindstone crunch of "Blown Away," which is capped off by vocals that resemble what Mad max might very well sound like. If that doesn't make sense, well, maybe you should get a hold of the tape and come to your own conclusions. Warrior Soul are set to be a most subjective and provocative talking point. |

| By rights, bands that sound like this shouldn't have histories, but just so as you don't ask again, Warrior Soul is made up of Kory (Vocals), Pete McClanahan (Bass) and John Rico (Guitar), drummer Paul Ferguson parted recently, having recorded with the band in Los Angeles. Geoff Workman and Kory handled production duties. The band base out of New York, where they are managed by Q-Prime (Burnstein and Mensch), and their Geffen debut album is called Last Decade Dead Century. The title alone might lead you to believe that Warrior Soul have a slightly different approach to things. It grows on you - grows and grows. It might not be immediate, but that is neither Warrior Soul's prerogative nor desired result. This seems to be a band that wants to slowly wriggle it's way into you. And when Kory opens the album screaming, "I am the child of a new generation," it might well be something to take note of. - Steffan Chirazi |
