Metal band, Warlord, is the brainchild of guitarist/songwriter Bill Tsamis and drummer Mark Zonder. Formed in San Jose in the early Eighties and with an EP and album released by 1984, the band was lighting up the LA scene but had split by 1986. Like the proverbial Phoenix, the band reformed in 2002 and again in 2011 (releasing new albums each time). With the sad passing of Tsamis in 2021, the band had a major lineup change and released the critically acclaimed ‘Free Spirit Soar’ earlier this year. Check out ‘Conquerors’ from the album.
The band is about to embark on a European tour with the following stellar line-up:
Giles Lavery (Dragonsclaw, Alcatrazz): Vocals
Jimmy Waldo (Alcatrazz, New England): Keyboards
Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai): Bass
Eric Juris (Crystal Viper, David Reece): Guitars
Diego Pires (Nomin, Auro Control): Guitars
And, of course Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, A-Z) on drums.
