"K5 - The War Of Words Demos" is more like a collector than anything else. The fact that this CD is a compilation of the Demo versions of "The War Of Words" will not give you a lot of new things if you already have the album in your discography. Even if you will be able to listen to five new songs (which are all correct but not really important in the Fight's discography in my opinion) there is not a lot of interest in this release. Of course, it's Fight with the high-pitched vocals of Mr Halford and we have some excellent thrashy riffs, for sure this is not a Heavy Metal for sissies but all in all it's a lot more logical to buy the album (despite the five new songs) than to buy this "compialtion". It's correct ok, but doesn't give anything special and it will only be a a must if you're fan of Mr Halford.
Even if it's demo songs the sound is ok and it's funny to see that a song like "Best Denies" (featured on the compilation) has become later "Reality, A New Beginning" (with different lyrics of course). The booklet is also really interesting with a lot of pictures the lyrics and a good biography but even if it's well done there is nothing essential here.
"K5 - The War Of Words Demos" was made for the fans of Halford who want to get everything from him. If you already have Fight's discography you don't have to buy this compilation in my opinion. Also if it can be a good way to discover the band the albums (I know I'm repeating myself) are probably a better pick but don't misunderstand me too, this CD and the songs which are featured on it are good songs, they're just already known so this is not a must. Now that Fight seems to be active again maybe that it could be a good thing to release a new album? Let's see if it will happen.

1th line in a review was about he launched a label. I have seen many artists do own labels, there I have a question, does big labels as CM, NB cares about metal or money? Kostas Demos often are diferent as album, I have hear bunch of demos where music is different as album version, btw here you can hear that demos are basically good studio work, rare in many cases.
