Warner After The Rage

"NoLifeTilMetal Records is excited to bring you this 'brand new' but old recording from the remnants of Heathens Rage. As we stated, technically this is a completely brand new release, as these songs have never even been released before. You are in for a killer treat of classic rock and metal taking you back to the late 80's and early 90's! Here is the story as told by Rob Warner himself... In August of 1988, Heathens Rage, the band I helped form in 1984, was running out of steam. This despite 1988 being the most successful year for the band where we played shows with new singer Gene Geary opening up for The Ramones, Glen Danzig, and Megadeth. From the outside looking in, it appeared we were going full steam ahead firing on all cylinders, but internally things were starting to get challenging. Even though frontman Gene had a great rock 'n' roll voice and swagger, some of the original Heathens Rage fans didn't welcome him with open arms. His voice was nothing like original singer Bob Pisauro, and although there were some great new songs written with Gene, it was very different from the original Heathens Rage material. Fans didn't know what to make of it. On top of that, Gene lived in Brooklyn, New York, so the band had to start rehearsing in Brooklyn or even in New York City sometimes, as well. That made things even more difficult, and it began to put a lot of strain on everyone. Finally, after playing a few shows with the Ramones in the spring of 1988, I had pretty much made up my mind that I needed a change... I decided to leave Heathens Rage and went straight into the studio to record the very first few songs I had written. "Tears in the Night" and "Only for You" were the first two recordings. A month or so later, I went back to the studio to record the ballad "Another Night Alone" and a couple instrumental tracks. I put aside music for a couple of years fully pursuing my hunting passion, but I never stopped playing and writing music. Chris Tereszyn and Mike Lepond from Heathens Rage never stopped playing either. They were both in other bands who played all over the Tri-state area while I was on hiatus. I still talked to Bob Pisauro on occasion, and although he had a new baby and was busy being a dad and working, he still was writing lyrics. I had a bunch of song ideas that were just kind of hard rock songs, so I made tapes of guitar riffs, which I would give to Bob to put lyrics to. After a few weeks of this and repeated conversations with Chris and Bob on the phone, we decided to go into the studio together to record them. These songs were recorded in 1993 by John Swat at S&M Productions in Yardville, New Jersey, where TT Quick had just done some demos. We recorded an album's worth of material, but nothing ever came of it. You are now hearing this music for the first time ever! The LP contains 10 tracks including 4 from Warner and 6 from After the Rage.
