The Warrior was a British NWOBHM band from Chesterfield. Formed 1979, The Warrior was unfortunately not a long lasting project. The band only released one album, "Let Battle Commence," in 1980 on Rainbow Sound and broke up shortly thereafter. The album featured many characteristics of the musicality which was about to envelop England with the NWOBHM movement, and is generally hailed my many reputable Metal historians as a rather solid underground release in NWOBHM.

The band was comprised of 5 members:
Dave Hewitt: Vocals
Steve Allsopp: Guitar
Mick Bannister: Guitar
Kev Barsby: Bass
Barry Bingham: Drums

It should be noted, this band should not be confused with two other British bands by the name of just "Warrior" from either Essex or Newcastle. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
