FIGHTING THE WORLD is an album released by American heavy metal band Manowar in 1987. This was the first Manowar album to feature artwork by long-time collaborator Ken Kelly, and also the first heavy metal album to be recorded and mixed entirely on digital equipment.
Album's MTV favorites included singles "Blow Your Speakers" and "Carry On" featuring big drumming, epic gutar riffs and melodic arrangements. After getting the singles out of the way, the band carried on with business as usual for the album's second half. Particularly interesting is "Defender," another epic vehicle for an Orson Wells narration, the frenetic "Holy War," and the final Armageddon of "Black Wind, Fire and Steel."
Manowar: Eric Adams (vocals); Ross The Boss (guitar, keyboards); Joey DeMaio (4 & 8-string basses); Scott Columbus (drums, percussion).
Recorded & Mixed at Universal Recording, Chicago.

All songs written and produced by Manowar.
