This epic metal band was formed in the early 90's by the sole two members still making up Ereb Altor. Growing up having Bathory's epic era in our hearts it was inevitable that the music we created somehow was going to be influenced by our house gods. Having Bathory's music as a foundation we created our own branch of this so called "epic viking metal" genre. Lyric-wise the topics differed slightly.

It was an absolute imperative for the band to reproduce the songs faithfully - they played dozens of covers of Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Krokus, Grand Funk Railroad, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Gentle Giant, Genesis...

There are at least five bands with the name Warning. 1. Warning was a UK based doom metal band. Warning flagged the rise of post-2000 wave of traditional doom metal. They were formed by Patrick Walker in 1994 in Harlow, Essex. The band is notable for its down-tempo, progressive, melodic and heavy doom-laden sound; the idiosyncratic and poignant vocals of Patrick Walker; and his introspective, darkly-confessional lyrical themes of acute pain, love, and melancholy nostalgia. The band released two demo tapes, "Revelation Looms" in Feb 1996 and "Blessed By Sabbath" in March 1997.
Almost nothing certain is known about this enigmatic outfit from the northern forests of the kingdom of Bavaria. Formed around 2006 by Trummer and Kreuzer, the band quickly managed to become the centre of the new European epic metal movement. Their "The Pnakotic Demos", released in 2007, was praised by journalists and fans all over the world as one of the best Epic Metal albums ever.
Rooted deeply in the sound of Bathory, old Manowar, Solstice and Manilla Road...
