1) 80s Power Metal
2) 90s Doomcore (sludge?)
3) 90s-00s Chip/Demoscene/Metal musician
4) 70s Doom Metal/Heavy Psych
5) Rock band from UK.
6) Rapper
7) British RAC band
8) An NSBM project from the USA, formed by Werewolf SS.
1) Warlord is one of those little known bands who should have earned much more fame. Their first album "Deliver us" was published in the early '80s (1983) and it was enough, along with "And The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun" that followed with only few more new songs, to make them a historical metal band of the early US power metal scene. The style is progressive, melodic heavy metal of exceptional inspiration and great musical talent. Standout tracks are "Winter Tears", "Child of the Damned", "Black Mass", and the monumental "Lucifer's Hammer". The vocals are very melodic which contrasts with the heavy rythym and guitar riffs. Guitar playing is very solid with technical solos. Songs are well constructed and carry a deep, strong feeling. It is a shame that they never really got the attention that they deserved. Nevertheless, their drummer, Thunder Child, made a great career-he is actually, Mark Zonder of Fates Warning. Metal fans who appreciate epic and early power scene should not miss them!
Recently, in the year 2002, Destroyer (guitarist W.Tsamis) returned with M.Zonder (drums, of course) and J.Cans (vocals) and published Warlord's "Rising Out From The Ashes". And the legendary Warlord proved again the dark power of epic metal...
2) Warlord came along in the mid to late 90's and only had two releases on Solid State Records. The first was a self titled EP containing four songs released in 1997.
The second was titled Rock The Foe Hammer and was released in 1999. They broke up shortly after the second release. Their musical style has been labeled as "doomcore".
3) Warlord is a Finnish chiptune/demoscene/metalscene artist Warlord (1997->).
4) Warlord were active in the 1970's. They were from the UK, and they played heavy doom metal with progressive and psychedelic elements. Their only official release is a self-titled compilation album from 2002.
5) Warlord is a rapper from the West Coast and rode with Death Row Records

6) Warlord is a British RAC band featuring former Skrewdriver guitarist Stigger on vocals. Albums include "Theatre of War" and "Ascension". The style is hard rock/metal.

For those interested in what they are hearing, this is an modern example of the Epic Metal genre. A lot of metal has been deemed epic, but Warlord is one of the leaders in the early 80s American movement actually called Epic Metal (Warlord, Medieval Steel, Manilla Road, *Manowar etc...). Unlike the British Wishbone ash twin guitar sound, Epic Metal featured one guitar, played by one guitar god, and the rest of the band (bass, drums, vocals and sometimes keyboards) was built around the guitar and its keeper. With only one guitar, this kept the music very open and atmospheric giving it that roomy epic sound. This partly comes from most of the bands hailing from the Midwest USA, which is very broad and expansive place, compared to parts of Europe. The music is usually midtempo with thundering uncluttered drums, exposed bass, and melodic leading guitar.
The best way though to explain is to listen, and if you listen carefully to all the bands listed above, you will hear a stark distinction in style of those bands to their European counterparts at the time.
The storytelling (yes metal tells stories) is also very different than most other genres. The style of storytelling (not particularly the lyrics as many songs have different themes) but the style fits into the ancient Greek model of Epic Poetry. So the songs themselves are big and broad, focusing on the aesthetics of the ancient tales of Heroes and legends, though again they might not be particularly about them, the aesthetic is there. You will hear a lot about Kings, and Warriors, Glory and Triumph and of course Steel! These are all metaphors for self empowerment, and masculinity.
A lot of these signature markings of the Epic Metal movement have been co opted into European styles like Power Metal by fans of these early bands, but to truly understand what they mean, you need to get with the American masters. Because like Jazz is an American music, Epic Metal is truly a home grown American style, that is best heard from an American source (not political or national America - the land of America).
Warlord returns after many years (1983) and puts out this great record from their own pockets. If you appreciate it, go buy the record!
