Warrior Soul

Formed in 1988, Warrior Soul debuted strong with 1990's Last Decade Dead Century. Combining well-thought political rants with a strong, distinctive hard rock swagger, the album received critical acclaim and fan approval as well. But though the band would survive for several years afterward, they would never quite match that first effort, as the succeeding albums seemed to lack in the songwriting department, the political messages were even stronger but less well received, and their record label appeared to not support the band well (a bone of contention with singer Kory Clarke, who at one point actually claimed that their Chill Pill album was deliberately subpar so as to get out of their contract (which, in due time, they did)). By 1995 the band was on edge, eventually to split into two camps, and following a disappointing Space Age Playboys they were officially done. Another modified lineup continued in a new band named after that last album, but that version didn't catch on either.

As of 2008, Clarke has put together a new lineup and is working on a new album to be released by the end of the year. He is also the current frontman for Trouble, having taken over that role some time ago.
