A Los Angeles metal band whose songs about nuclear disarmament and human rights found an audience beyond the genre.
If you're new to Warrior, start with 'Standing' and 'Cold Fire'. They give you the full picture of what this band does.
Warrior's 1985 album 'Fighting for the Earth' gave them their most recognizable song, which became something of an anthem for environmental activists. Their lyrics often dealt with social and political themes, set against heavy guitar work and Parris Mitchell's forceful delivery. Songs like 'Standing' and 'Cold Fire' maintained that same blend of metal aggression and message-driven content that defined their earlier work.
Warrior formed in 1982 with Parris Mitchell on vocals and bass after his previous group Montrose had run its course. They put out their first album 'Fight for the Right' the following year, kept recording through the late 80s with 'The World Must Change', and returned in the late 90s with 'Warriors of the World'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
