SHIPPING DOMESTIC $ 6 PLUS $ 3 EACH ADDITIONAL       OVERSEAS FIRST $ 26 Warrior is another NWOBHM act that was formed in 1979, the inception of the movement. One must dig up to find the band cause it is pretty unknown. As it happens with many NWOBHM bands, Warrior delivered some great music back in the day, but failed to make it to the top tier along bands like Saxon, Iron Maiden, Angelwitch or even Grim Reaper, Tank and Tygers of Pan Tang.

"For Europe Only" was released on 1983,Four years after the formation of the band. It contains 5 songs which are mid paced- fast. They play energetic rocking NWOBHM. The music varies from song to song and can be ballsy, aggressive and melodic. That's a great plus for the band because it shows their musical diversity. The guitar-work is stunning in the solos. The vocals are excellent through out the album. They are energetic and powerful.  The production is great for NWOBHM standards. I love that bass because I can hear it and that's quite rare for NWOBHM singles.

All in all, it's a hidden gem this one. A really strong performance from Warrior. They never achieved great success and it's a shame. The songs here are true NWOBHM straightforward rockers, it's what this music is all about! In my opinion, this record is a must have for every serious NWOBHM collector. So if you can get it on your hands don't let it go! Recommended to any heavy metal fan and especially NWOBHM fans.                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa1toE8nnno
