Warrel Dane was an influential figure in the world of heavy metal, renowned for his multi-octave vocal range and distinctive style. Born on March 7, 1961, as Warrel George Baker, he rose to prominence as the lead singer of the metal bands Sanctuary and Nevermore. Dane's commanding presence and lyrical prowess earned him a devout following among metal enthusiasts.

Dane embarked on his solo career with the release of "Praises to the War Machine" in 2008, an album that showcased his versatility and depth as a musician outside the collective banner of a band. The record was well-received for its blend of sharp metal riffs and introspective lyrics. Tragically, while working on his second solo album "Shadow Work," Dane passed away on December 13, 2017, due to a heart attack, leaving the music community to mourn the loss of a metal icon. The album was posthumously completed and released in 2018, offering fans a poignant farewell to the singer. Heavily missed, Warrel Dane's legacy continues to resonate in the metal world, with an extended edition of "Praises to The War Machine" released in 2021, ensuring that his powerful voice and artistic vision endure.
