Last Decade Dead Century, Warrior Soul's 1990 debut on Geffen, is the work of a performance artist who set out, on a dare, to build the best rock band in New York. Kory Clarke, who'd drummed in Detroit punk and Southern rock outfits before turning to one-man art shows, took up a promoter's bet at the Pyramid Club, named the band after a line from a George S. Patton docudrama, and within nine months had a multi-album deal. Geffen then had him swap his hired players for new ones.
Don Fury produced it at his own studio, and it's heavy metal with a sneer and a doom-laden title to match, the riffs buffed to a showroom shine. The Los Angeles Times heard both the major-label gloss and something odder underneath, likening it to ordinary rock as filmed by David Lynch. Escapi Music remastered it with bonus tracks in 2006 and pressed it on vinyl in 2009; Drugs, God and the New Republic followed.
