Gladiators was a heavy metal band from Athens in Greece formed in 1988. In 1988 Gladiators released a two-song demo, and the next year contributed a track to the Greece Attacks Vol. 2 compilation / split EP. A second demo, Dead Man's Walk, followed in 1990. Despite the positive comments received, the band split up and Fotis Sotirpoulos (Guitars) and John Vasilakis (Guitars) formed Fortress Under Siege in 1992.
