WARRIOR SOUL – Last Decade Dead Century [Japan HR/HM 1000 Vol.4 series] (2022) HQ

Universal Music Japan has started this year another campaign of their ‘HR/HM 1000‘ series, that meaning the reissue of long time out of print albums from their Hard Rock / Heavy Metal catalog at the price of 1000 Yen = about 9 USD.
As part of the 2022 HR-HM 1000 Vol.4 series, we have here WARRIOR SOUL‘s killer debut album ”Last Decade Dead Century”.

WARRIOR SOUL – Cocaine and Other Good Stuff (2020)

The always provocative Kory Clarke is back with a new WARRIOR SOUL album titled “Cocaine and Other Good Stuff“. And if  the title offend you, let me tell you this is a covers album, and yes, JJ Cale / Clapton’s ‘Cocaine’ is part of the track list.
Clarke said: “We wanted to make a record that was not about all the crap we are all living in, as it seems like a well-worn path for Warrior Soul. So, I had to think out of the box“.
The result is album of 11 covers, that are pretty much all given the Warrior Soul treatment. That is to say, they all sound as pure as the driven slush.
Not for nothing the record start with a cover of The Cars’ “Let The Good Times Roll”. Yes, forget the lockdown for a moment, and get some fun.
