Background and recording

Warriors were formed in 1982 by vocalist Dušan Nikolić and drummer Miroslav "Vicko" Milatović. Milatović was at the time a member of highly successful band Riblja Čorba, Warriors being his side project. [1] The first lineup of the band also featured guitarist Dragan Deletić, guitarist Zoran Konjević and bass guitarist Slobodan Svrdlan (a former member of the band Gordi). [1] In 1983 this lineup of the band released the EP entitled Warriors – Ratnici , after which Milatović had to leave the band due to his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav People's Army, [1] and soon after Canadian guitarist Douglass Platt replaced Deletić. 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. [2] The album was recorded during July and August 1983 in Radio Television Belgrade Studio V and produced by band members themselves. [3]
