The Warning is a rock band from Monterrey, Mexico, started in 2013[1] by three sisters. Daniela (guitar, lead vocals), Paulina (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra Villarreal (bass guitar, piano, backing vocals) are well known for their 2014 cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on their YouTube page,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] garnering attention from the likes of Muse and Coldplay. As of December 2019 it had reached over 19.8 million views on YouTube.

Biography

Drummer Paulina Villarreal Vélez was interviewed by Tom Tom Magazine a year before The Warning's cover of "Enter Sandman" became popular.[9] Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett praised Pau's performance on "Enter Sandman," stating "The drummer kicks maximum ass!"[5][10]

In 2015, The Warning raised enough money on GoFundMe to release an EP of six original songs, titled Escape the Mind.[11] The popularity of The Warning's cover of "Enter Sandman" led to a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 24, 2015.[3][12] In addition to their GoFundMe page, they received funding by The Ellen Show and Target in order to attend a summer program at Berklee College of Music.

Rock Band was a major influencer in the trio's formation of the band,[13] and two of their original songs are featured in the fourth game;[13] a song from their EP, "Free Falling", is featured in the video game Rock Band 4,[14] and a song from their debut album, "Survive", was released as a free downloadable song as a part of the "Rivals" expansion in 2016.[15][16]

They performed at TEDx 'University of Nevada' twice, first on Jan 2016 (after Berklee)[17] and then on Jan 2017 (after recording their debut Album),[18] telling the story of their journey as a band of sisters in between songs.

The Warning began recording their debut album XXI Century Blood in 2016 at Sonic Ranch, and released in 2017.[3] In that same year, they were also invited to open for legendary rock bands Aerosmith, Def Leppard, and Alice Cooper at the Mother of All rock festival at the Forum Arena Monterrey.[19] Additionally, they also opened for The Killers at Arena Monterrey in April 2018.[20]

The group announced in 2018 that they would be heading to Sphere Studios in Los Angeles to record their second studio album. The album, titled Queen of the Murder Scene, was released on November 25, 2018. It achieved high showings in the iTunes and Amazon rock music charts for several weeks after release, despite it being independent.

The single Narcisista debuted live and was released on June 14, 2019, marking it the band's first Spanish song.[21]
