Rob Halford’s Fight was definitely one of the heaviest groups ever to slap the jaw of the growing “Seattle Sound” movement of the time when they jumped into the fray and began delivering some truly intense Metal. Halford’s decision to leave Judas Priest left many of the bands fans catatonic because the information was truly something that no one ever thought possible and yet it did happen. He would assemble the players Russ Parrish (guitar), Brian Tilse (guitar), Jay Jay (bass) and bring along Priest drummer Scott Travis and present to his loyal followers Metal that was much heavier than Judas Priest and worked well along the lines of aggressive bands like Pantera. “War Of Words – The Film”, brings to light the goings on behind the bands formation and offers up a lot of live concert footage in a beautiful package. The documentary that we are led to believe will be rather enlightening is a bit of a letdown when one compares it to other films of its type but again it is still nice to have around as opposed to not having it.
