Fighting the World is the fifth album by the American heavy metal band Manowar, released in 1987. This was the first Manowar album to feature artwork by long-time collaborator Ken Kelly, and also one of the earliest heavy metal albums to be recorded and mixed entirely on digital equipment.[citation needed] Since Fighting the World, all Manowar album covers have been painted by Ken Kelly.
The song "Defender" features a speech by American actor Orson Welles. The album was released two years after Welles died. The recording of Welles' speech was re-used from the original 1982 demo of the song.
