Warrior is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, formed in 1982. Best known for their 1985 debut album, Fighting for the Earth, the band has released a total of four studio albums. Guitarist and co-founder Joe Floyd is the only Warrior member to appear on every album. Floyd is also a notable engineer and producer and has worked with Bruce Dickinson, Halford, Earl Slick, Tribe of Gypsies, Rob Rock, downset, Godhead, Jake E. Lee, Ratt, Riot, Malice, Odin, World War III, Helstar, and Steel Prophet, among others. In addition, Floyd is the CEO of ElectroPhonic Innovations, a guitar company. As was the case with contemporaries Ratt and Rough Cutt, the group's core – guitarists Joe Floyd and Tommy Asakawa, bassist Rick Bennett and vocalist Parramore McCarty – was made up of San Diego, California transplants in search of fame and fortune. Prior to Warrior, McCarty had fronted the band Phenomenon, active during 1977 to 1978, which also featured future Ratt guitarist Robbin Crosby and posthumously issued "The Final Word" b/w "Ain't No Doubt About It" 7" single in 1980. By 1979, Phenomenon had morphed into Secret Service and McCarty and Crosby were joined by guitarist Tommy Asakawa. When McCarty and Asakawa exited, Secret Service became Aircraft, now fronted by future Riverdogs vocalist Rob Lamothe, re-named Mac Meda in 1981. McCarty and Asakawa would soon join forces with Floyd and Bennett.
