So this is the mystery bonus demo from The Warning that opens up the bonus disc with the 2-disc version of the re-issue of Eightball Cholos’ Satan’s Whore by Roxx Records. Not much information is given about this demo, but the opening track declares that it is 1995 and The Warning is back from the dead. It does sound like it was recorded with some better equipment than past demos, so 1995 seems to track. But still a good chunk of time since 1990’s Cut the Garbage! The Warning has always been Burrito and Tracey G, so I assume that is the case here. I wonder how this relates to the announced Shattered Faith album on Narrowpath Records? Probably never happened I guess. As with past demos by The Warning, this is a trippy style of thrash metal that can be traditional metal or really experimental. All with extreme turn or burn lyrics, of course. The second half of the bonus CD contains Conviction of Sin’s Live Godcore 3 tape.
