Warzone was an influential American hardcore punk band that emerged from the vibrant Lower East Side scene of New York City in the mid-1980s. Renowned for their potent combination of hardcore punk and skinhead culture, Warzone carved a niche for itself within the hardcore community, advocating for unity and fighting against societal injustices through their music. The band was led by the charismatic frontman Raymond "Raybeez" Barbieri, who was not only a musical pioneer but also a unifying force within the punk community, fostering a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood amongst fans and fellow musicians alike.

Over their active years, Warzone released a series of groundbreaking albums that captured the spirit and energy of New York hardcore. Albums like "Don't Forget the Struggle, Don't Forget the Streets" and "Open Your Eyes" became anthems for the disenfranchised youth, addressing social and political issues with raw honesty and fervor. Through their anthemic sound and socially conscious lyrics, Warzone left an indelible mark on the hardcore scene, influencing countless bands and fans worldwide. Despite the passing of Raybeez in 1997, the band's legacy endures, with their music continuing to inspire and galvanize the hardcore community around the globe.
