Warrior has been back in the business for some years now and
this is their third album so far. The band was originally formed way back in
1985 in California and was to be the American answer to Def Leppard. They
released one album called "Fighting For The Earth" in 1985 but then the band
split up since their bosses at MTV started their metal phase-out. In 1993 they
reformed with a different line-up but inbetween guitarist Joe Floyd had been
producing albums for other musicians, among them the two solo albums from
Bruce Dickinson. I haven´t heard their album from 1985 but I can tell you that
they are now much heavier and several times better than Def Leppard even
though they are not a lousy band either. This album is full of classic
heavy/speed metal of the best possible quality and there are not really much
to say about it. The guitar work is almost perfect with everything from
beautiful emotional melodies to breath-taking heavy riffing. It is hard to
pick out the best songs on the album but to me it´s "Kill The Machine", "We
Are One" and "Retribution". Needless to mention Rob Rock is handling the
vocals with amazing skill and if every band had a vocalist like him they
wouldn´t need any instruments at all (perhaps a small exaggeration but he is
really great). A couple of new releases this year has disappointed me but this
album lives up to the great reputation of the participating musicians.
Produced by Warren Croyle this is, in my humble opinion, the best album so far
anno 2001.
