The Warning

The Warning is a rock band from Monterrey, Mexico, started in 2014 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, garnering attention from the likes of Muse and Coldplay.

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

In 2015, The Warning raised enough money on GoFundMe to release an EP of six original songs, titled Escape the Mind. The popularity of The Warning's cover of "Enter Sandman" led to a guest appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 24, 2015. 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 4 has been a major influencer in the trio's formation of the band, and two of their original songs are featured in the game. A song from their EP, "Free Falling", is featured in the video game Rock Band 4, and a song from their debut album, "Survive", was released as a free downloadable song as a part of the "Rivals" expansion in 2016.

They performed at TEDx 'University of Nevada' in both (after Berklee) and (after recording their debut Album), telling the story of their progress as a band of sisters between songs.

The Warning released their debut album XXI Century Blood in 2017. In that same year, they performed as opening act for Def Leppard at the Forum Arena Monterrey.

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.
