2017 album.
Our Overview.
Warrior Soul, fronted by legendary singer Kory Clarke are releasing their new album ’Back On The Lash’ via Livewire/Cargo Records UK and accompanying the news with UK Tour.
Titled after a quote from General George S. Patton, Warrior Soul are a politically fuelled monster of a band who debuted in 1990 with the much vaunted 'Last Decade Dead Century' album. The band hit the scene in New York City right before '90s grunge. Coming of age during the presidency of the first George Bush, many of its songs were politically based, from the prescient "In Conclusion" to the call to arms, "Children of the Winter."
The term "Acid Punk": was coined to explain the hard driving trippy sound that was Warrior Soul,particularly the Space Age Playboys album, co-written by XFactor,Pete and Kory. The critical acclaim that accompanied the band never translated to the record sales most predicted and despite recognition by peers,including Lars from Mettalica who had been quoted as saying ‘Space Age Playboys’ was his favourite album.
And now the boys are back with profane sermons delivered at high velocity and maximum volume and this is what the new album is all about! ‘Back On The Lash’ is a powerful statement of intent from Kory and Warrior Soul.
Clarke is one of the last true rock 'n' roll frontmen and since the classic "Last Decade Dead Century" in 1990, he has continued to swim against the tide of mediocrity and safe rebellion. His last solo album, "Payback's A Bitch", received the full score in Rolling Stone magazine upon release. This firebrand of political invective and rock 'n' roll is back on the lash with a new album for 2017 and you won't hear a more powerful or authentic album this year. It is everything you would expect — aggressive, vile and it wants to make you go to the bar and tell the planet to fuck off.
"You mighta had dope, guns, and riots in the streets, but your kids have smartphones and Netflix and they could not care less about your cyclops revolution. Which is a bit of a nightmare for the last true rock star, a wild-card from the streets of Detroit, Kory Clarke who made his reputation and career on being the baddest motherf*cker in all of Badsville with an incendiary socio-political agenda and a roar-for-war that rattles mountains."
