Geffen Records from 1989 to 1994. The 1995 album "Space Age Playboys" was released on the independent Futurist Records label, but the band disbanded within the year. "Odds & Ends" was released the next year as a posthumous collection of demos and outtakes. Also in 1996 Kory Clarke went on to found a short lived band called Space Age Playboys. Kory Clarke then became the lead singer of Dirty Rig for a brief period. Mark Evans, the band's drummer for three of their albums, was murdered inLondon , UK in 2005. [ [http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/02/080042.php Warrior Soul drummer is murdered ] ]Following the re-release of the band's first five albums on Escapi Music in 2006, Clarke reformed Warrior Soul for a UK tour in March 2007, using long time musician friends from England and Sweden. Work has begun on a new Warrior Soul album and a live album taken from the band's October UK tour. Clarke has since been announced as the new lead singer of Trouble as of May 2, 2008, according to Trouble's website.
The band is set to release a new studio album "Chinese Democracy" (also the name of upcoming Guns and Roses long awaited album) in mid October followed by a US and UK tour. The band was dropped from latest management Everything Independent after a swift recreation of the bands career in the US when the singer Kory Clarke threatened to kill part of the management team. The band plan to go on with the tour without any representation which kicks off October 16th in Chicago.
