LEVELLING UP (THE WARNING S01 E009)

Levelling Up (The Warning @thewarningrockband S01 E009) Monterrey, Mexico, a city that has notoriously birthed exceptional musical talent, really levelled up in 2012 when this band erupted in its scene. Since then, their powerful and virtuous unique take on hard/metal rock has been heard worldwide, hailed by some of Rock’s most respected heroes, featured in video games and amassed millions of listeners and viewers on all audio, visual and social media. With two critically acclaimed and successful albums to their names, XXI Century Blood and Queen of the Murder Scene, not even a global pandemic could stop these relentless sisters from delivering the third installment to their loyal fans. Under their new label Lava Records, Produced by David Bendeth, check out their new album later this year, available on all platforms. With us here today, Daniela, Paulina and Alejandra, The Warning.
