WARNINGcelebrates 20 years of their groundbreaking albumWatching from a Distancewith a deluxe gatefold 2xLP/CD.
Led by guitarist and vocalist Patrick Walker, every moment ofWARNING’sWatching from a Distancefeels 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 ofWARNING‘smusings 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, andWARNING’sintrospective sensibilities resonate as hard as they ever have.Watching from a Distanceshowcases a band and moment in time that honed in on what “Doom” could really be.
“I leave behind me the ruinsOf the fortress I swore to defendI leave behind me foundations,I’ll leave you a man I’ll need you to mend
And through all the battles around meI never believed I would fight,Yet here I stand a broken soldier,Shivering, naked, in your winter light”
