'Warning' is the first single from Skindred's eagerly anticipated 4th album, 'Union Black', due for release on April 25th of this year, with the single set for release on April 19th. The tune features Jacoby Shaddix, lead singer of major US rock band, Papa Roach.

This song revisits the self-proclaimed 'ragga-metal' band's fusion of rock and reggae roots identifiable to fans of Skindred. ‘Warning’ is introduced by a mix of heavy guitars and drums, the type of which, the band are usually accustomed to. This is followed by the exhilarating and pacy vocals of Skindred frontman Benji Webbe, steadying to prepare the listener for the drop of the heavy chorus. Then comes a stroke of genius, the addition to the track of Shaddix. It allows no time to rest in this pulsating exhibition of Heavy Rock. Shaddix’s presence adds an extra dimension to the record complimenting the vocals of Webbe superbly whilst delivering unrivalled energy. The hit maintains the familiar heavy beats associated with Skindred throughout, but at the same time incorporates a new sound illustrating the progression of the band launching them forward into a new and exciting chapter!

If you like this track, be sure to check out Skindred on their UK tour set for April/May this year. The electricity and passion Skindred bring to every show make them one of the best live bands on the planet, and a band not to be missed this spring!
