Halford's love for bands like Pantera really began to show on this CD. However, I really like this disc as it is full of musical and lyrical hooks, as well as some phenomenal drumming by Priest drummer Scott Travis. Halford's lyrical approach has changed slightly from that of Priest, tackling social and political issues as well as a few personal vices. Halford sounds as good as he ever did. Perhaps this one isn't on the same level as classic Priest, but it certainly isn't bad either.

This is what Halford wanted Priest to do style wise after Painkiller(a Killer itself)! I think this is great!!Russ Parrish Lays down some Killer Leads..and Mr Travis,well he is Probably one of the best metal drummers ever!!!Rob's voice sounds so Good. Remember this was released during Grunges heyday!!A Classic!

I love this album and it doesnt sound like 90s PANTERA at all in my opinion. The songs are just great and ROB HALFORD sings increible on this album. The second FIGHT album is shit.

Awesome album, I saw Fight on the tour for this record in 1993 in Asbury Park, NJ, one of the best shows I ever saw, hands down. Rob sounded phenomenal and the crowd was absolutely SICK!! Unfortunately as several other posters have mentioned, the second Fight album was god-awful. Thankfully Rob's found his way back to Judas Priest where he belongs!

Good Heavy Metal album, bueno aca el pelado dejo un buen trabajo claro nada que ver con los Judas al lado de Painkiller este desaparece pero tampoco esta mal, arriba le ponen Hard Rock nadie de los que opinaron dicen que onda es bah! señores esto es Heavy pero con cierto sonido Industrial y nada que ver con Pantera de esa epoca, como que con esta banda Rob queria experimentar nuevos estilos 8/10.

Powerful metal project by Rob Halford,with songs that could be labeled as "american power metal" styled ones...3 major hits came out of this record("Into The Pit","Nailed To The Gun" & "Kill It")and apart from being my faves add also tracks 4,6,8 & 9 to the list...enjoyable album...88/100

Tensions were running high in Judas Priest during and after the Painkiller cycle, and his decision to pursue a side project led to his eventual departure from the band. But at least according to Halford's explanation in his book, it was all something of a misunderstanding and didn't need to happen. Regardless, the hotly-anticipated debut from this side project with the very nondescript name came out in September of 1993, a time I think of as a peak of heaviness in mainstream metal, with major labels doing distribution deals with the likes of Earache Records, and snapping up Roadrunner artists like Sepultura, and you could even see the likes of Morbid Angel on Headbangers' Ball. War Of Words takes where Priest were on Painkiller and brings it to a much heavier, darker place. "Into The Pit" and first single "Nailed To The Gun" start things off with a couple of pounding, uptempo thrashers, but after that, things settle into a more mid-paced plod, with songs like "Life In Black," "Laid To

... Rest" and the death-knell ballad "For All Eternity" getting downright doomy. Elsewhere, there's an almost industrial feel to "Kill It" and the title track, hinting at what was to come from the likes of Fear Factory. Halford still uses both his piercing shriek and deep snarl, but his midrange melodies are deeply melancholic, to go along with lyrics that have largely abandoned the fist-in-the-air anthems of solidarity Priest were best known for in favor of more introspective fair. (That's why the simplistic thrash of "Vicious" seems a little extraneous.) Production is crisp and clear, though the drums and crunching bass do push the guitars further back on a few songs. The hidden track at the end is called "Jesus Saves," and is of noticeably poorer sound quality, so must be a demo or something. The other two singles were "Little Crazy" and "Immortal Sin." War Of Words was seen as pretty radical at the time, but in hindsight it sounds fairly traditional while still being very heavy, an

... and not nearly the departure that Jugulator would be a few years later.
