Warpath

The band's first EP, entitled "Cataclysm", was recorded in December 2005 at Bridgerow Studios with producer Andy Coughlan. In the aftermath of its release, the band amassed favourable reaction from the European metal community. Large-scale self-promotion and feature privileges in renowned metal magazines such as Terrorizer, Zero Tolerance and Powerplay have since brought the band much exposure.

Warpath's perfect balance of sharp-edged guitars and extreme drumming has also been found on Zero Tolerance Magazine's covermount compilation CD, and on Resilience Records' "Banger's & Thrash", showcased amongst the most prominent UK metal acts.

Since 2006, a constant cry of international interest has reached the band, with requests for the EP recordings to be aired worldwide on radio - notably as the theme to Metal Team UK's radio promotional campaign. In this time, Warpath were also filmed live and interviewed by the BBC for a documentary on up-coming metal bands.

Throughout the past two years, the band's great presence has build up a strong fanbase and a significant, ever-growing reputation in the UK metal scene.

The later half of 2007 saw the band working on the followup to 'Cataclysm'. With extreme metal drummer James Davenport, lead guitarist Pete Hawthorne and bassist Joel Jordan having joined the band, Warpath are set to release their heaviest and fastest material yet; the debut album "Damnation" -- mixed at Kevin Talley's studio USA (Chimaira, DAATH, Hate Eternal) and mastered by legendary metal guitarist James Murphy (Testament, Death, Obituary).


9 out of 10 - "Damnation is the most exciting new thrash album I've heard in years!"

"Warpath's songs are very good indeed! Every song being chock full of neck-snapping riffs and some quite brilliant solos - the type that make you involuntary play air guitar before checking around to see if anyone noticed. The production, as you may expect, is superb with every instrument sounding powerful. Vocalist Richard Goss' hoarse bellow is certainly effective and he manages to come up with memorable vocal lines too. A genuinely exciting 'true' thrash band!"
