Warrior Soul

Warrior Soul is an outspoken hard rock outfit led by firebrand performance artist and drummer Kory Clarke. Emerging in 1987, the band's incendiary mix of anarchic art-rock and alternative heavy metal earned them a multi-album deal with Geffen Records. Commencing with Last Decade Dead Century, the group issued a string of volatile studio albums like Drugs, God and the New Republic, Salutations from the Ghetto Nation, and Chill Pill before ceasing operations in 1995. Clarke re-formed Warrior Soul in 2007 and forged on with a rotating cast of players into the 2010s, touring the world and releasing late-career efforts like Stiff Middle Finger (2012), Back on the Lash (2017), and Out on Bail (2022) that combine politically charged invective with gritty, punk-addled rock & roll.
