Warning celebrates 20 years of their groundbreaking album »Watching From A Distance« with a deluxe 4xLP box set, also featuring 2017’s legendary »Live at Roadburn« set.

Led by guitarist and vocalist Patrick Walker, every moment of Warning’s »Watching From A Distance« feels monumental; the album is widely considered to be one of the most emotionally-driven and profoundly doom metal records.

From the onset, the album’s eponymous opener crawls with a sombre melody that carries the emotional heft of Warning’s musings on love and longing. The band’s classic track »Footprints« showcases Walker’s ability to match his colossal riffs with a visceral, gut-wrenching vulnerability that was previously unheard of. Walker ruminates about his weakest moments; his vocal deliveries ranging from dejection to despair. The end result is truly “heavy” in every sense of the word – and a timeless take on the genre with thundering drums, lead-pipe backing bass, and swirling guitars.

Fast-forward to the present day, and Warning’s introspective sensibilities resonate as hard as they ever have. »Watching From A Distance« showcases a band and moment in time that honed in on what “Doom” could really be.
