WARNING celebrates 20 years of their groundbreaking album Watching from a Distance with a deluxe gatefold 2xLP.

Led by guitarist and vocalist Patrick Walker, every moment of WARNINGs 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 albums eponymous opener crawls with a sombre melody that carries the emotional heft of WARNINGs musings on love and longing. The bands classic track Footprints showcases Walkers 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 WARNINGs 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.
