WAREHOUSE
twelve (2012/BRÜCKENTICK)
POST/EMO-PUNK. WAREHOUSE from northern Germany deliver on "twelve" 6 lovely songs. Four guys you might have seen before playing three crappy chords over a raging heartbeat drum. With a unique blend of heartfelt punk, guttural rock and explorative post-punk, WAREHOUSE shirks categorization. Limited to 200 copies.
WAREHOUSE VALUE
fucked up on lo-fi (2013/MIKE FITZGERALD)
HARDCORE. The WAREHOUSE VALUE "fucked up on lo-fi" release is a 9-song 7" of stripped-down, no-nonsense, fast hardcore. Recorded by a pimply faced suburban teen in 2000, one could easily be fooled into believing this is some lost demo from 1984. It has a genuine enthusiasm and intensity that is impossible to fake. Fans of 9 SHOCKS TERROR, DEEP WOUND, early GANG GREEN, will get down with these short, raw, lo-fi blasts.
WARFAIR?
Earmageddon (2008/MANGLED ANKLE)

Phoenix Arizona's WARFAIR? play grinded out crust with meaningful lyrics to create realizations about the state of the world, death of mankind, and the misconceptions that you have to follow guidelines to be considered "punk". "Earmageddon" is influenced by bands like EXCRUCIATING TERROR, WARSORE and early NAPALM DEATH, with some stenchy parts and noisy crust thrown in. WARFAIR? have gained cult status from fans due to there chaotic live shows. Limited press of 600 copies only.

WARKRIME
get loose (2007/NO WAY)
HARDCORE. Bay-Area's WARKRIME are back with a follow-up to their punishing debut 7". "get loose" continues along the same lines of the debut, but with an added rock influence ala ANNIHILATION TIME or even B'LAST bleeding into their sound. Make no mistake, though, this is still some ripping hardcore. Awesome hateful hardcore mania with 14 songs of hardcore punk that draws comparisons to SEPTIC DEATH, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and even the above mentioned bands. Offensive and full of energy, this is timebomb waiting to explode. Get loose!
WARKRIME
give war a change (2006/NO WAY)
HARDCORE.

WARLOCKS, THE
Heavy deavy skull lover (2007/TEE PEE)
Always shrouded in mystery and dressed in black, this once octet known for their signature sound and live shows and compared a million times to the VELVET UNDERGROUND have always done the unexpected. The new trimmed-down line-up, once known for taking long, meticulous recording sessions into hell has banged out this new record within weeks. Recorded by Rod Cervera (Weezer, Lavender Diamond, Young People, Silversun Pickups).
WARNING
watchung from a distance (2012/KREATION)
DOOM-METAL. WARNING plays doom-metal, stripped down to its most basic form- a powerful expression of despair. The lyrics deal entirely with personal struggles, failure, longing, and other powerful feelings. The vocals are extremely intimate and emotional. The guitar has an impressively heavy quality with a tasteful amount of roar on the sustained notes, while still maintaining a light and beautiful quality on the harmonized melodies. This album is nearly flawless and a perfect doom-metal experience. Double vinyl comes in an eyecatching gatefold-sleeve.
WARNING//WARNING
there's nothing left (2011/SOLAR FUNERAL)
HARDCORE-PUNK. Skull splitting nuclear hardcore-punk that could only be crafted by these 4 disgusting individuals in France near the border of Spain. This release is more harsh sounding than their past efforts but this still retains a hardcore edge with well written, catchy songs. After 2 tapes and a 7" this is their debut LP. For fans of GAI, CONFUSE, LEBENDEN TOTEN.
WARPED CROSS

WARPRIEST
archaic revival (2008/STREETCLEANER)

WARRIORS, THE
beyond the noise (2006/EULOGY)
HARDCORE. The follow-up to the crushing "war is hell", "beyond the noise" is another 10 tracks of chugging, grooving from the high desert of California.
