American epic metal band from Los Angeles, led by guitarist William Tsamis. Key early releases include the Deliver Us EP (1983) and the LP And the Cannons of Destruction Have Begun (1984). The band later issued Rising Out of the Ashes (2002) and The Holy Empire (2013).

Notable members cited in reviews include William Tsamis (guitar), Mark Zonder (drums) and Jack 'Damien King' Rucker (vocals). The band is widely associated with the epic metal and early American power metal scenes.

DeBaser's reviews treat Warlord as a key epic-metal act, praising their 1983–84 material and noting later reunion albums. Reviewers highlight Deliver Us and And the Cannons of Destruction Have Begun as essential. The Holy Empire (2013) is seen as a dignified return.

For:Fans of 1980s epic/power metal, collectors of classic metal, listeners interested in American metal history.

 Talking about Warlord is equivalent to talking about epic metal, so it's important to clarify right away what this genre is.

 Cult band par excellence, the nostalgia for our Heroes was filled by the reunion and the album "Rising Out Of The Ashes" in 2002, but the magic had vanished.

 Every song in this masterpiece has become a milestone of metal, if we really have to find a flaw, it's definitely the limited duration (less than 30 minutes), but the emotions you'll receive from listening will reward you completely.
