Relapse Records has today announced the signing of legendary British doom band, WARNING. The label will reissue albums from the band’s back catalogue and will release the first new WARNING material for twenty years.
Shortly after the release of their now-iconic album, Watching From A Distance, in 2006, WARNING disbanded and was dormant until reuniting in 2017 for a series of performances playing the album in full. This return resulted in a Live At Roadburn album which will be reissued in addition to the original studio album, and their 1999 album, The Strength to Dream. The existing WARNING catalogue is available digitally now, with physical reissues to follow.
WARNING is spearheaded by Patrick Walker (also of 40 Watt Sun), who comments:
“After seventeen years of focusing my attention and energies on other endeavours, production is well underway on a new WARNING album, and I’m pleased to find a home for the band with Relapse Records, who will be releasing this long-awaited follow-up to Watching From A Distance, as well as reissuing the band’s back catalogue.
“Considering the quality and integrity of their releases, I feel privileged, and am grateful to Relapse, for honouring and preserving my past work, and for their trust and confidence in this next chapter of my musical journey.”
Writing for the new WARNING album is already underway, with recording scheduled for later in 2025. The band will perform at Damnation Festival in the UK this November, where they will debut new material alongside the Watching From A Distance album in its entirety.
The current line up for WARNING is:
Patrick Walker – Guitar and Vocals
Marcus Hatfield – Bass
Wayne Taylor – Guitar
Andrew Prestidge – Drums
