    Translated from the original French

    Whoah!! Now here is a shock duo!! Burritto with his vocals that are aggressive to say the least, and Tracy, a very, very strong guitarist... The duo THE WARNING offers a pretty crazy mixture of speed metal and hardcore. To all the fans of hard FM, goodnight...! THE WARNING is one of the most aggressive WM bands, as much through their music as through their very satirical lyrics: THE WARNING, over furious riffs, attacks the evangelists who exploit the credulity of Americans ("A Virgin In The Midst Of Whores"); the problem is taking on worrying proportions in the USA, with the TV evangelists... But THE WARNING also goes after "Disneyland Christianity" ("Let's Go To Church"), a sort of "Christianity in wonderland", where everything is rosy, where everything is beautiful... the beach, the blue sky, California, a WM concert every evening... "Hey, Christianity is so much fun... I wonder whether Jesus and the apostles had as much of a blast... Did they have Christian nightclubs back then?..." Satire that is acid to say the least, on the part of the THE WARNING tandem. This new demo falls in the line of "Repent Or Die": very rich guitar-wise (Tracy uses loads of completely crazy effects!!). Nine tracks that are worth the investment if quality hardcore/speed metal turns you on, and if you want to get an overview of one of the most radical WM bands!!
