Recorded live in San Pedro, California on May 21th 1988 this CD captures all the power and the energy of those US Power Metallers that have also released a brilliant 12″ EP.
Here the listener will be able to hear both the tracks of the 12″ EP (I Am Future / Child Saint) plus eight unreleased songs.
Listening to their up tempo Power metal with lots of technical moments and fantastic vocals I still wonder why this band hasn’t released an official album all those years.
Hopefully this private release -that marks the re activation of the band- would probably manage to bring in Child Saint’s hands a contact with a record label for a possible future studio release.

To tell you the truth I was a little bit skeptical when I first learned about the Warlord tribute project set by drummer and founding member Mark Zonder and singer Giles Lavery to honor the music and memory of founder guitarist William J Tsamis who unfortunately passed away back in 2021. I was looking at the facts very closely, reading announcements about forthcoming live shows, new line up and a new album. The response from the fans was massive including both positive and negative (or very negative) comments about the above facts. "How can Warlord exist without Bill Tsamis?", they were asking. One afternoon I got a call from Giles Lavery himself asking me if I wanted to do an advance review of the forthcoming Warlord album. I replied positively still being in this skeptical mood. It all went away after the first listen... William J Tsamis was there. His music, his legend, his compositions, evolved into complete songs. In total excitement I texted Giles a single message "Bill is alive". The very next evening found Mark, Giles and I talking about the album, about Bill, about the music and the legacy. It was late at night when we ended the call. I asked them if I can publish our conversation and they got no problem. So here it is again: Me talking with Warlord. The usual stuff I am doing the last 25 years for various reasons. But this time I would not call this conversation an interview. To my eyes this is a big ethical, artistic and soulful statement, by some people who want to keep the Dream, alive.
