Warning

Warning is a British doom metal band formed in Harlow in 2005, performing at The Castle and Falcon in Birmingham. The concert brings together the project's doom metal and Epic Doom roots with its recent return to songwriting.

Warning is a British doom metal band, formed in Harlow in 2005, whose music sits in the doom metal tradition and its Epic Doom subgenre. Patrick Walker leads the project. Its 2006 album, Watching from a Distance, has built a cult following over the years, and a run of shows playing that record in 2017 led to renewed interest in the band. Walker spent much of the intervening period on his other project, 40 Watt Sun.

Warning is now preparing its first new music in twenty years, the album Rituals of Shame. Patrick Walker began writing the songs in early January 2025, working from a blank page towards material that belonged to Warning. The album was recorded at The Arch Studio, a former church in Southport, with Chris Fullard handling recording and mixing. Its lyrical themes include guilt, shame, personal failure, obsession, longing, separation and, above all, love.

The Castle and Falcon hosts concerts and shows in Birmingham. This date gives audiences in the city a chance to hear the band's doom metal in a live setting, with the new songs sitting alongside the older catalogue.
