Biography

Drummer Paulina Villarreal Vélez was interviewed by Tom Tom Magazine a year before The Warning's cover of "Enter Sandman" became popular.[8] Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett praised Pau's performance on "Enter Sandman," stating "The drummer kicks maximum ass!"[4][9]

In 2015, The Warning raised enough money on GoFundMe to release an EP of six original songs, titled Escape the Mind.[10] The popularity of The Warning's cover of "Enter Sandman" led to a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 24, 2015.[2][11] In addition to their GoFundMe page, they received funding by The Ellen Show and Target in order to attend a summer program at Berklee College of Music.

Rock Band 4 has been a major influencer in the trio's formation of the band, and two of their original songs are featured in the game. A song from their EP, "Free Falling", is featured in the video game Rock Band 4, and a song from their debut album, "Survive", was released as a free downloadable song as a part of the "Rivals" expansion in 2016.[12]

The Warning released their debut album XXI Century Blood in 2017.[2] In that same year, they performed as opening act for Def Leppard at the Forum Arena Monterrey.[13]

The group announced in 2018 that they will be heading to Sphere Studios in Los Angeles to record their second studio album.
