Without Warning is a hard rock/metal band hailing from Boston, Massachusetts. With a heavy hitting take on old school metal, Without Warning brings you the combination of powerful vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and face melting solos. The group was formed in 2013, and consists of lead vocalist and bassist Ian Raposa, rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Darryl Santana, lead guitarist Wes Parker, and drummer Nate Lavins. They have released their first full EP under the album name "Burning Skies" (Produced by Aart Knyff of Compound Studios, and mastered by Bob St. John who has done previous work with Extreme, Duran Duran, and many others). The band has released a music video for their song “Lost”, which is available to stream now. In just over a year, they have gained local recognition and have performed for multiple national acts. Most recently, Without Warning competed in, and won, a battle of the bands for a shot to play at Warped Tour 2015 during its stop at the Mansfield Xfinity Center. They were also invited to play the main stage at the Worcester Palladium for the 2015 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival to open up for Testament and Exodus. They were invited to play at Arch Enemy’s U.S. Tour during their stop in Massachusetts, which featured Kreator, Huntress, and Starkill. They opened up for the Hookers & BLOW Rock & Comedy tour featuring Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses), Alex Grossi (Quiet Riot), Johhny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig), and Mike Duba (Hotel Diablo), which was hosted by Don Jamieson from VH1’s “That Metal Show”. Without Warning has been chosen to compete in The Last Band Standing 2015. The band was nominated for LimeLight Magazine’s 2015 Metal Act of the year. Their songs have been featured on local radio stations such as WAAF Bay State Rock with Dave Crespo, WEMF with Robby Roadsteamer, and Indie Scene Radio with Gerg Anidem. They were finalists for the Break Thru Music Battle for Rock and Shock 2014, and were selected as 1 of 26 bands out of over 500 entrants to compete in the Last Band Standing competition at the Boston Hard Rock Cafe in 2014. “If you’re in a rock band and someone says “You melted my face off,” after your set, you’re doing something right. It is obvious right off the bat that literally without warning (pun intended) these guys are going to slay their performance. The guitarists were so skilled, each chord meticulously strummed, yet this is the kind of music that makes you thrash around with no control. Judges were impressed with their “tight sound” and “slammin speed riffs” but the audience was consumed solely by the hugeness of the performance. Either way, at the end of Without Warning’s set the feeling was unanimous: hot damn!!” – Christie Leist, BDCwire Without Warning is a hard rock/metal band hailing from Boston, Massachusetts with a heavy hitting take on old school metal.
