WARNING 1982 – Rock City Polydor 2393325 – POL 365


La carrière lancée de fort belle façon par le premier album, il fallait conclure ... et s'installer définitivement dans le gotha du rock hexagonal. La maison de disque de l'époque "Polydor" mit donc dans le panier quelques sous et WARNING, après quelques remaniements de personnels, s'embarqua pour Cologne et les studios de Dieter Dierks, bien connu pour son travail avec le groupe Scorpions. . Beaucoup plus puissant que le précédent, il n'en demeure pas moins un disque d'excellente facture, dans lequel on retrouve les ingrédients du gang. Christophe confirme qu'il est un des guitaristes les plus doués de sa génération ("Commando", "Bahamas Memorial"), son jeu gagne en maturité, son talent de compositeur éclate enfin. Rapha poursuit sur sa lancée et varie à merveille les intonations (« Rock City », « Speed moi », « Strange way of love ». Les compositions d'aspect plus massif restent cependant très imaginatives et proposent un métal aventureux de grande qualité. La section rythmique remaniée (bassiste et batteur) gagne en cohésion et demeure l'un des éléments essentiels de la qualité de ce disque. Plus compact, plus massif, cet album est le second indispensable de WARNING.

WARNING “Rock City” Réédition AXE KILLER 3041362 – ARC 329


The second album of Warning, originally issued in 1983 is finally out, re-released by Axe Killer. This album is numbered limited (5000 ex) and it’s available in “Warnivision” with 3d cover & special glasses. After the impressive success of their first album, Warning stayed in all memories. So, the band wanted to make a special second album. And they get all means to create & release their best product. That’s why, Warning entered the famous Dieter Dierks studio with Dieter himself (Scorpions, ...) & the now famous Mickael Wagener to release the second album, simply called Warning II. Of course, knowing that, it’s easier to say that some songs & the sound can remain Scorpions but Warning was really not a copy of Scorpions. The band had its own & unique personality, built in the underground before its bursting out in the french metal scene. There’s some changes in the band and in its music. First Warning was showing a heavy metal band with various influences such as reggae, rock, ...The 2d album of Warning is pure heavy metal. It’s really more aggressive than the first L.P. Rapha’s voice is a bit less melodic & sometimes he really screams and sounds close to Rob Halford & sometimes Klaus Meine. Rythmic guitars were really heavier too like for the quite speed “Fire Fire” but in some songs, Warning renewed with the spirit of their first album like for “Serie Noire”. Chiristophe Aubert (RIP), the guitar player showed in this album his incredible feeling that overcome largerly his technical level . As more & more guitar player pass beyond their technical level to the detriment of feeling, Christophe Aubert’s could have learned them a lot. This album met a very large success as it was certified Gold records with more than 80 000 sells in France. Warning in 2 fantastic albums put its name into the pantheon of the best International heavy metal bands.
