Album Notes & Community Reviews

Notable as one of the very first heavy metal records to be recorded and mixed entirely in a digital domain, 'Fighting the World' presents a polished but fiercely bombastic sonic assault. The band doubles down on their aggressively macho ethos, delivering triumphant, fantasy-driven anthems designed specifically for massive stadium sing-alongs.
