In retrospect, one has to wonder whether Warrior Soul missed the bull's-eye of rock immortality by a hair. Listening to their impressive 1990 debut Last Decade, Dead Century, one can't help but notice some striking parallels between its anti-establishment message and the one championed by Nirvana's Nevermind the very next year. Rebellious tracks such as "I See the Ruins," "We Cry Out," "Downtown," and "Superpower Dreamland" deliver powerful, angst-ridden messages that are quite similar to those on Nevermind. But while the gripping "The Losers" manages to mirror "Smells Like Teen Spirit"'s desperate cry for help, it lacks that anthem's simultaneous middle finger to the status quo. Perhaps that is the key missing ingredient that made it impossible for Warrior Soul to connect with generation X in the same way as Nirvana. Or was their failure rooted in the demand for action, rather than encouraging nihilistic escapism like Nevermind? The less intriguing, but more realistic explanation, however, is that Kory Clarke's hypnotic metal riffs and political rants were simply no match for Kurt Cobain's inimitable pop instincts and pure punk rage, hence, the former's descent into obscurity and the latter's ascent into saintly martyrdom -- though at what price. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Incredible stuff on the technical side, it's unusual yet diverse. ~ John Book
This is part of the Geffen Goldline Series.
Warrior Soul: Kory Clarke (vocals); John Ricco (guitar); Pete McClanahan (bass); Paul Ferguson (drums).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Punk Rock n' Roll
Warrior Soul is timeless, the attitude is thick, the vocals are angry, and the lyrics are brillent. This band has been one of my favorites for 16 years now. This is the one album that they released that I can still listen to today and feel the raw power that they were able to generate and deliver. If you are into this sound - check out Dirty Rig (Kory's new band).

Last Decade, Dead Century album
$5.39 (MP3 Available for Download)
This 1990 debut solo offering from Don Dokken is perhaps the softest, most middle-of-the-road collection in the singer's long melodic-rock career. Fans of '80s hair metal certainly count the band that carried Dokken's name as one of the premier outfits of the decade. But when their guitar-slinging histrionics, sad-faced ballads, and colorful outfits became highly unfashionable, the group couldn't sustain themselves through the constant fighting between the singer and guitarist George Lynch. The on-again off-again relationship was off for five years during the early '90s. Lynch made some noise with his own band, Lynch Mob (proving that he could write decent songs without the help of Dokken), and Dokken released Up From the Ashes, a pale collection of forgettable near-balladry. Joining the vocalist on this disc are guitarist/songwriter John Norum (most notable for his work with Europe), guitarist The Billy White, bassist Peter Baltes, and drummer Mickey Dee. Only fans of the mellowest pre-solo Dokken material will have any chance of enjoying this collection. The record is well-produced, and the performances (especially Norum's soloing) are quite polished, but the songwriting and lyrics are standard at best, and pretty out of date by the time this offering hit record store ...

$11.29 (MP3 Available for Download)
In the early years of the 21st century, many young men became disillusioned with the existing conventions of emo and post-hardcore, and burned their band T-shirts in protest. The flames of discontent sparked inspiration, and soon a new class of rockers arose. Bound to collective influence (the teachings of past masters like Sunny Day Real Estate and At the Drive-In) yet anxious to expand, these sonic splinter cells strove to take post-everything in a progressive direction, to wrest complacency from Warped hands. Keyboards were the answer! And impenetrable, vaguely intellectual lyrics streaked with melancholy! New cadres emerged in the ashen sunlight. Coheed & Cambria, ...
