Warning Joins Relapse Records, New Album Coming This Year

For the first time in two decades, British doom metal outfit Warning is back and promising new music. Having just signed with Relapse Records, the band say they’ll be releasing a new album later this year. Not only that, but their physical back catalogue will be reissued as well.

It’s a huge step for the band, whose last release was 2006’s Watching from a Distance, which was the follow up to 1999’s The Strength To Dream.

Warning’s Patrick Walker, who’s also a member of 40 Watt Sun, said the band’s return is coming at a time when he’s able to focus on this band for now.

“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.”

According to the band, writing is already underway for the new album, with recording scheduled for later this year. In addition to their studio time, the band will perform at Damnation Festival in the U.K. this November, where they’ll play the entirety of Watching from a Distance, as well as some new tunes.
