Unflinchingly, the Austrians LAST WARNING follow their musical path, without letting current trends in the metal scene dissuade them.
After their first demo album, In Case of Fire, in 2003, recruiters of Brainstorm Music Marketing took notice of the band and immediately published one of their self-produced songs on the All Freaks Sampler. Based on the Sampler, LAST WARNING set off on the All Freaks Tour bringing their sound to stages in Switzerland and Germany. In 2004, the band signed with the Indie Label Ton 4 Records and produced its first album, Face 2 Face. The German Metal Hammer magazine called it, "a skilful thrashing", bringing the band's tour de force quite to the point. With Face 2 Face in the bag, the band played numerous clubs and small festivals, celebrated by the underground community. In 2006, the sequel, Chainbreaker, followed, also on Ton 4 Records, opening up additional opportunities for the hungry musicians. Concerts extended to Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and LAST WARNING shared stages with Maroon, Deadsoil, Machine Made God and others.
A milestone for the band was surely summer 2007 when they were invited as headliner for a tour in Indonesia. As the first metal band ever, they toured Bali, played the Headbangers in Hell Festival as well as club shows in Jakarta. Highlight of the tour was the huge Soundrenaline Festival in Padang (Sumatra) where LAST WARNING performed for 20,000 people as one of the headliners on the main stage.
Back in Europe, the Klikkfest in Slovakia was the last show before the band withdrew to write songs for their new album.
After over 2 weeks of touring Indonesia we finaly came back to Austria on friday 25th of July. We met many nice and interesting people there, we discovered new things, we visited beautiful places and most important of all....we played at 2 of the biggest festivals(Soundrenaline) in Indonesia.
Words can not describe how awesome performing on such huge stages was.
We would like to thank everyone who greatly supported us and took care of us during our Tour inlcuding Cindy(thank you so much for everything, We would have been really lost without you), Hary “Koko” Santoso, Jim "Where's my Jägermeister?" Delaney, Nina, Steven and many many more. You know who you are!
Sadly we had to perform without our guitar hero Stefan at the Soundrenaline Festival in Medan. Stefan got some really high fever the day before the show, so we had to decide whether he should play or stay in bed. We all together chose the later one because health just has to be the most important thing. Although we had to play without the greatly missed Stefan, the show turned out to be awesome, which was also because of the impressive crowd(THANK YOU) who supported us from the beginning till the end.
