"Blow Your Speakers" comes from Fighting the World, the fifth Manowar album, which ATCO put out in 1987, and the title is about as blunt a mission statement as heavy metal gets. Joey DeMaio wrote it, words and music, and plays bass; Eric Adams sings lead, Ross the Boss handles guitar and keyboards, and Scott Columbus pounds the drums and percussion. The band produced it themselves with Jason Flom as executive producer, and Rich Breen recorded and mixed it.
The album was tracked and mixed on a 32-track digital rig at Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, which puts it among the first heavy metal records made fully in the digital domain. It was also the first Manowar record to wear a Ken Kelly painting on the cover, and every one since has had one too.
