Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Canadian hardcore veterans No Warning have signed with Flatspot Records and revealed that new music is on the way, signaling their first new material in nearly a decade.
The Toronto group confirmed the partnership in a new announcement, with fresh recordings expected in 2027. The news follows a long gap since their most recent full-length album, “Torture Culture”, released in 2017.
No Warning emerged from the Toronto hardcore scene in the late 1990s and became known for combining aggressive hardcore with the groove and swagger of classic crossover and thrash metal.
The group first gained international attention with releases including their self-titled debut and 2002’s “Ill Blood”, before expanding their sound on 2004’s “Suffer, Survive”. After disbanding in the mid-2000s, they reunited for live performances and eventually returned to recording.
Their 2017 album “Torture Culture” was the band’s first full-length release in 13 years. The forthcoming music will therefore represent another significant new chapter in their recording history.
Flatspot Records has established a strong reputation in contemporary hardcore, releasing music by both emerging and established acts. The label’s agreement with No Warning brings another veteran name to its roster.
The band have not yet disclosed a title, tracklist or exact release date for the new recordings. Further details are expected as the partnership moves toward its first release.
Established in 2004, independent hardcore label Flatspot Records has spent over two decades serving as a crucial bellwether for emerging and heavy music trends. The imprint boasts a versatile catalog spanning foundational catalog entries from heavyweights such as Trapped Under Ice, Backtrack, and Mizery, alongside the current wave of modern breakout acts including Scowl, Zulu, and Speed.
Central to Flatspot’s talent incubator model is its flagship “The Extermination Compilation” series, a platform providing both rising and established bands an outlet to showcase exclusive tracks. By prioritizing scene authenticity and roster-wide synergy, the label has fostered a tight-knit global community,driving collaborative international tours, festival lineups, and cross-label artistic partnerships. Celebrating 22 years of operations in 2026, Flatspot Records continues to expand its footprint with an ambitious roadmap aimed at furthering its influence across the heavy music landscape.
