Warriors is the first studio album by Yugoslav/Canadian heavy metal band Warriors, released in 1983. It is the band's first self-titled album, the second being their second (and last) album, released in 1984.
Warriors were formed in 1982 by vocalist Duà ¡an Nikoliàand drummer Miroslav "Vicko" MilatoviÃÂ. Milatoviàwas at the time a member of highly successful band Riblja ÃÂorba, Warriors being his side project. The first lineup of the band also featured guitarist Dragan DeletiÃÂ, guitarist Zoran Konjeviàand bass guitarist Slobodan Svrdlan (a former member of the band Gordi). In 1983 this lineup of the band released the EP entitled Warriors â Ratnici, after which Milatoviàhad to leave the band due to his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav People's Army, and soon after Canadian guitarist Douglass Platt replaced DeletiÃÂ. The band recorded their debut album with drummer Tom Martin (a former member of the band Izazov), who was, however, not credited as an official band member. The album was recorded during July and August 1983 in Radio Television Belgrade Studio V and produced by band members themselves.
