Warlord was an American Christian metal band that formed in 1997. The band's sound was described as "doom hardcore", a mix between doom metal and hardcore punk.[2] The band was signed to Solid State Records during their brief existence.[1] Before disbanding, the band did a tour with fellow Solid State band, Training for Utopia.[4] The band has a compilation coming out, to help drummer Timothy Henderson with his health problems.[5] The compilation has a new song and an unreleased track from Rock the Foe Hammer.[5]

In their tenure, the band released an EP, titled Warlord, and a debut album Rock the Foe Hammer, both of which came out through Solid State.[6]
