The classic album for today is goes to Warzone.
Warzone was a hardcore punk band from New York City. Anti-racist skinhead frontman Raymond “Raybeez” Barbieri was the group’s only consistent member between its formation on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in 1982 until Barbieri’s untimely death due to pneumonia on September 11, 1997. A U.S. Navy veteran, he was receiving treatment that many fans and friends have claimed was shamefully inadequate in a Veterans Health Administration facility when the illness damaged his liver and took his life at the age of 35.
Raybeez’s small but loyal following accompanied the former Agnostic Front drummer from the nascent days before the “Youth Crew” era in hardcore punk, on and off of three record labels, before finally turning out en masse for two sold-out benefit shows following his passing
WARZONE's The Victory Years is a tribute to the years that veteran New York City hardcore-punk act spent with Victory Records. Tragically lead vocalist Ray ‘Raybeez” Barbieri passed away in September of 1997. This 17 track CD will be the last release documenting the legacy of this important musical act. WARZONE was more then a band- but a movement within itself.
