Mutations (Fight album)

Mutations is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Fight, released in 1994 by Epic Records. The album marks a shift in Fight's sound towards a more experimental and industrial-influenced direction compared to their debut album, War of Words.

The album features a heavier use of drum machines, samples, and industrial textures, moving away from the straightforward hard rock and heavy metal sound of War of Words. Some fans and critics found the change in style to be a departure from what they expected from Rob Halford and Fight, while others appreciated the band's willingness to explore new sonic territories.

Lyrically, Mutations continues to address themes of rebellion, personal struggle, and social commentary, similar to War of Words, but often through a more abstract and metaphorical lens.

The album’s artwork, featuring a distorted and almost biomechanical imagery, reflects the album's more experimental and industrial sonic landscape.

While Mutations was not as commercially successful as War of Words, it remains a notable release in Fight's discography for its distinct sound and for showcasing the band's willingness to experiment with different musical styles. It is considered by some to be a cult classic within the band's fanbase.
