Warning celebrates 20 years of their ground breaking album 'Watching from a Distance'.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Patrick Walker, every moment of Warning's 'Watching from a Distance' feels monumental; the album is widely considered to be one of the most emotionally-driven and profoundly Doom Metal records.
From the onset, the album's eponymous opener crawls with a sombre melody that carries the emotional heft of Warning's musings on love and longing. The band's classic track "Footprints" showcases Walker's ability to match his colossal riffs with a visceral, gut-wrenching vulnerability that was previously unheard of. Walker ruminates about his weakest moments; his vocal deliveries ranging from dejection to despair. The end result is truly "heavy" in every sense of the word - and a timeless take on the genre with thundering drums, lead-pipe backing bass, and swirling guitars.
Fast-forward to the present day, and Warning's introspective sensibilities resonate as hard as they ever have. 'Watching from a Distance' showcases a band and moment in time that honed in on what "Doom" could really be.
