Warrior Soul's 'Chinese Democracy' due in October
Warrior Soul, the band fronted by legendary singer Kory Clarke, is the latest act to announce (jokingly or not) that it has selected "Chinese Democracy", the name of the perennially delayed new Guns N' Roses Lp, as the title of its new album. The CD will be available exclusively at shows on Warrior Soul's forthcoming U.S. tour, which begins on October 16 at the Double Door in Chicago, Illinois.Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" will receive its retail release in January. UK fans will also have an opportunity to buy the album at shows during Warrior Soul's UK tour in December.
This is the first Warrior Soul studio album to include the new lineup featuring;
Kory Clarke - Vocals
Rille Lundell - Guitar
Johnny H - Guitar
Janne Jarvis - Bass
Rob "Stevo" Stephenson - Drums
Recorded and written over a five-week period in Stockholm, Sweden and in the UK, Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" was produced by Clarke, Lundell and Jarvis.
Stated Clarke: "I'm really proud of this album. It's been great to make another Warrior Soul record and this line up is the best I've ever had." He continued, "People have been waiting for a long time to hear this record and I'm thrilled to finally release 'Chinese Democracy'."
Co-producer and bassist Janne Jarvis had this to say: "This is an exciting, vital collection of songs. It's unadulterated and uncompromising. It is essential Warrior Soul."
Songtitles set to appear on Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" include "Motor City", "Bad News (Rock 'n' Roll Boyfriend)", "Fuck The Pigs" and "No Respect".
Warrior Soul's current lineup has successfully toured Europe over the last two years and reports from both fans and media suggest that this is the band's strongest formation yet.
Video footage of Warrior Soul performing the song "Let's Get Wasted" at Ace of Clubs in New York City on May 31, 2008 can be viewed below. The show marked Warrior Soul's first American concert in twelve years.
Warrior Soul released a live album on April 14, 2008 through Livewire/Cargo Records. Entitled "Live In England", the CD was recorded in London during the band's October 2007 tour.
