Early on in their career this potent threesome managed to grab the attention of a national management company during a session in a local recording studio. Their ground shaking performance resulted in them being signed up before their three hour stint was over.

Neil Hutton joined the band on drums before taking up the sticks for Benediction, and was replaced by a huge personality in Neil Farrington. The band then enjoyed much success, supporting the likes of Napalm Death, Entombed, Cancer, At The Gates, Carcass & many more not to mention numerous headline slots at UK venues.

Their first album Maximum Carnage was released in 1996 on Nuclear Blast Records, and a European tour followed with Benediction. Unfortunately due to the stresses and strains of full time employment and the lack of appetite for the Metal scene in the UK at the time, Warlord decided to call it a day in 1998.

Ten years later, Mark and Neil felt ready to resume their Metal crusade, resulting in the resurrection of the Warlord UK name. Support slots with Napalm Death, Obituary, Volcano and Evile ensued and headline spots at Inferno Fest in Norway and Terrorizer's Grindhouse have seen the Warlord war machine back at its best.
Neil left the band in August 2009, but with great sadness in December 2010 Neil chose to leave this world, leaving many friends, loved ones and fans lamenting his loss. Warlord UK marked his passing with a set dedicated to him whilst supporting Napalm Death a month later.
