Warning are a British doom metal band formed in the mid-1990s, known for a slower, heavier, and emotionally direct approach to the genre. Founded by Patrick Walker (vocals, guitar, songwriter), the band focused on atmosphere, mood, and weight rather than excess or technical showmanship.
Across their limited but highly regarded output, Warning developed a sound defined by drawn-out riffs, restrained arrangements, and a pervasive sense of melancholy. Their songs are patient and deliberate, letting repetition and space carry the emotional impact instead of relying solely on volume or speed.
Often cited as a key influence on modern doom metal, Warning left a lasting impression despite a concise discography. Their music is ideal for listeners who appreciate mood, heaviness, and emotional resonance over technical complexity.
The current lineup consists of Patrick Walker (vocals, guitar), Wayne Taylor (guitar), Marcus Hatfield (bass), and Andrew Prestidge (drums), a group that delivers the band’s slow, heavy, and emotionally charged sound both live and in the studio.
