No Warning - Torture Culture LP

Last Gang Records

After nearly a decade away, No Warning returns with "Torture Culture," a third album that is as scrappy, self-assured and unrelenting as it was once unthinkably improbable. The new album is grimy, pulverizing and antagonistic street punk in a mind-meld with menacing metalcore, comprised of towering riffage, blistering solos and raw vocals. No Warning don't so much as borrow hooks from the past as they've studied the very essence of what's come before, from Bay Area thrash metal to New York Hardcore, from post-grunge melody to melancholy balladry and back again, all through their own lens of discontent, simmering noncompliance and stark rage. Vinyl version includes digital download.
