WARRIOR SOUL Catalog To Be Reissued
February 27, 2006Escapi Records will re-release all five albums from the acclaimed band WARRIOR SOUL. On March 14, Escapi will re-release the band's 1990 "Last Decade Dead Century" debut, the 1991 "Drugs God & The New Republic" follow-up, and 1992's "Salutations From The Ghetto Nation". Then, on April 4, WARRIOR SOUL's groundbreaking fourth album, "Chill Pill" (originally released in 1993) and "Space Age Playboys" (originally released in 1995) will be re-released. All tracks on all albums will be remixed and remastered.
The constant in all five albums is frontman Kory Clarke. It's Clarke's vision that permeates the proceedings: from the trippy DOORS-influenced debut to some of the more punk-oriented and heavy metal material. Clarke was a man on a mission. He had something to say. Drenched in angry politics, Clarke used his podium as a soapbox to expose what he saw as major social inequities, yet he did it in such a profound and poetic way that it never came off preachy. Taken as a whole, the five records show an incredible arc…there's a basic continuity that blossoms from one record to the next in a spiraling orgy of sound that, in its five-year tenure, was criminally overlooked and underrated.
Much of what Clarke warned about on these records has come to pass…and more. But he's not gloating. In fact, he was hoping that wouldn't be the case. For right now, Clarke is thinking of doing some shows featuring this material with former WARRIOR SOUL members, outside of his new band DIRTY RIG.
