Hard Noise is thrilled to bring you a new documentary tracking The Warriors’ process of creating their ambitiously realized latest record. Watch part three of Follow Your Bliss: The Making of Monomyth below. Click here for parts I and II.
Formed in Tehachapi, California in 2002, The Warriors charged onto the scene with a sonic barrage of hardcore, punk, and metal influences with debut album War is Hell in 2004. They continued to build a formidable presence in early ’00s crossover circles, bringing in new influences, broader visions, and heavy-hitter guests like Lemmy Kilmister and Lou Koller into the fold with each new album.
In the years since 2011’s See How You Are, The Warriors have been relatively quiet. Now, they’ve signed to Pure Noise Records and released their first new album in almost a decade. Monomyth is a finely-crafted, progressively brutal effort produced by the band’s drummer, Roger Camero. Its themes of transcendentalism and mythic hero’s journeys are expressed with eclectic musical influences, creating a new hardcore sound that’s a culmination of the band’s history.
See the fourth and final piece of Follow Your Bliss: The Making of Monomyth here. Monomyth is available now from Pure Noise Records, and you can catch The Warriors live February 19th at Nile Theater.
