About Warlord
Warlord is an American heavy metal band, formed in 1980 and based in Los Angeles, CA. The brainchild of guitarist/songwriter William J (Bill) Tsamis and drummer Mark S Zonder, Warlord made the trip from their native San Jose, California to Los Angeles and proceeded in crafting their unique style, which pioneered what is called today Epic Power Metal." The new band caught the attention of Brian Slagel, whose label, Metal Blade Records, had recently issued Metal Massacre, a compilation featuring up-and-coming local metal acts such as Malice, Steeler, Ratt, Slayer and Metallica.
An aficionado of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and admirer of the Euro-metal aesthetic, influences of which are evident in Warlord's sound, Slagel was impressed by Warlord's semi-progressive style inspired by such diverse acts as Rainbow, Scorpions and Jethro Tull. Slagel decided to offer the band a spot on his next compilation and Warlord would make their vinyl debut with "Lucifer's Hammer" on 1982's Metal Massacre II. Earning rave reviews, Warlord made a repeat appearance with "Mrs Victoria" on Metal Massacre III and were signed to Metal Blade for their 1983 Deliver Us album which got the band featured in important publications such as Kerrang, Sounds, Burrn, and Music Connection. Furthermore, Warlord was receiving continual FM radio play in major US markets.
Adding further intrigue to the growing Warlord mystique was the band members' use of pseudonyms such as 'Destroyer' / 'The Raven' (Tsamis), 'Thunderchild' (Zonder), 'Damien King' (vocalist Jack Rucker), and 'Sentinel' (keyboardist Diane Kornarens) as well as Warlord's refusal to become just another LA club act, opting to present themselves on a grander scale instead. To that end, the band rented The Raymond Theater to stage what would turn out to be the only Warlord live performance in the USA until now (August 2013). It was filmed and recorded for the group's first full-length release, "And The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun...," issued in October 1984 and accompanied by a VHS home video release of the same name (now in DVD). The album featured 2 brand new tracks, "Soliloquy" and "MCMLXXXIV

Anyone heard of the Catholic prophecy of the 3 Nights of Hell ? Or the Georgia guide-stones ?

Pure magic W/
Another oneiric song. Thank you Warlord!
ΑΝ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΔΥΝΑΤΟΝ!!!! ΚΙ ΑΥΤΟΙ ΑΠΡΙΛΙΟ ΒΡΗΚΑΝ ΝΑ ΕΡΘΟΥΝ, ΓΑΜΩ ΤΙΣ ΠΑΝΕΛΛΗΝΙΕΣ ΜΟΥ, ΓΑΜΩ!!!!
I love the riff, but i sure wish the lyrics were different. Way too glorifying of the horrible wars that slaughter thousands of innocents. Also, before anyone says that this goes for all songs about war, most war glorifying songs are about old conflicts such as WWII etc.
Ανατριχίλα!!!!
no its Priya Anjali Rai
6:18 is that Vidonne singing? And what does she say?!
too much epicness can't stand!!!
Οι μισές προβολές σίγουρα θα είναι απο έμενα,το έχω λιώσει το κομμάτι!!
το τελείωμα είναι επικών διαστάσεων....
EPITELOUS ERXONTAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
