Warlord (hardcore band)

Warlord was an American hardcore punk band formed in the early 1980s in Huntington Beach, California. They are considered part of the Nardcore scene, a subgenre of hardcore punk specific to the Oxnard, California area, though the band itself originated outside of Oxnard proper. Warlord distinguished themselves from other Nardcore bands and the broader hardcore scene through their aggressive sound, which often incorporated elements of metal, and confrontational lyrics.

The band's music often addressed themes of violence, aggression, societal decay, and individual struggles. They gained a reputation for intense live performances, marked by high energy and a raw, unpolished sound. Warlord released several EPs and appeared on various hardcore compilations during their active period.
