Fight were an English-American heavy metal band, assembled by vocalist Rob Halford after his departure from heavy metal band Judas Priest in 1992.[2] He took with him drummer Scott Travis, though Travis also continued to drum for Judas Priest.[2] The line-up was completed by Russ Parrish on guitar, Brian Tilse on guitar and keyboards, and Jack "Jay Jay" Brown on bass guitar,[2] the latter of the two former members of Cyanide.[3]

During their three-year existence, Fight released two albums, War of Words (1993) and A Small Deadly Space (1995).[2] They toured or played shows with Pantera, Anthrax, Voivod and Skid Row, and opened for Metallica[2] on the 1994 Shit Hits the Sheds Tour.

The band's musical proposal was quite different from Judas Priest; it was a mix between the heavy metal sound created by Judas Priest, and a thrash/groove metal sound similar to that of Pantera.[2]

In 2007, Halford's Metal God Entertainment released War of Words – The Film on DVD.
