Warren as a member of the rock band, Blacktask.
Blacktask released one album, "Long After Midnight" for Axe
Records, in addition to a collection of independently produced demos and
EPs. The Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal described Blacktask as
"American riff monsters...with touches of Virgin Steel, Slayer, &
Exciter". |

Warren cites
Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Kansas, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath,
Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, & UFO as his main
musical influences. Warren's favorite current bands include
Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, U2, and Audioslave.

Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Martin Barre, Tony Iommi, The Edge, and Jimmy Page. |

Mark Strigl - Talking
Metal (May 2008)
"The tunes just sucked me in like a sponge to water and I
soaked in every last drop. How Warren does all this by himself is
beyond me. This is a diamond in a rough type of release."

"Warren even brings back Blacktask and does a tune from
their Long After Midnight release as well, which is a cool surprise for
this Blacktask fan. 10 tunes here and these are really rockin' tunes
that not a lot of bands are doing nowadays, and this is like a breath of
fresh air..." Metal

Soul Crushing Discipline -
2006 (MKR-008)
"The music reminds me of early Metallica in
spots with some UFO (who rule by the way) mixed in. The songs are crunchy
and metal in nature and are quite a pleasure listening too. The music is
catchy and Warren can write some fantastic riffs and stuff. " Metal

"Appleby opts
for songs, instead of a shred-fest, and because of this, False Face
Society succeeds in conjuring up some eerie images. These releases
are quite similar in style to Ronnie Montrose's 1988 release, The Speed of
Sound." Metal
