Ep 608: Warrior Soul’s Kory Clarke – “Rock ’Em Sock ’Em” album, Rage, Art & Rock ’n’ Roll Truth !!!

lKory Clarke is best known as the outspoken frontman and creative force behind Warrior Soul, the politically charged, no-filter hard rock band that rose from New York City’s underground in the late ’80s. Clarke’s mission from the start was clear: shake the system and wake the people.Blending punk attitude with metal power, Clarke led Warrior Soul through a run of killer albums — Last Decade Dead Century, Drugs, God and the New Republic, and Salutations from the Ghetto Nation — all loaded with rebellion, wit, and that “acid punk” energy that made them stand out. His lyrics hit like manifestos, railing against greed, control, and media corruption, long before those themes were trendy again.Even after lineup changes and label battles, Clarke kept pushing forward, reviving Warrior Soul in the 2000s and continuing to release new music that’s just as raw and fearless as ever — including Rock ’N’ Roll Disease and Out on Bail. He’s also an accomplished painter and poet, channeling that same defiant spirit into every art form he touches.With his gravel-and-gasoline voice, anti-establishment fire, and refusal to ever play it safe, Kory Clarke stands as one of rock’s true lifers — a rebel artist who never stopped believing that music could still mean something.Official band website: warriorsoul.com  • Bandcamp (music & downloads): koryclarkewarriorsoul.bandcamp.com  • Instagram (art + updates): @kory_clarke_art
