The Dawn of Battle is a three-song EP by heavy metal band Manowar, released in 2002 on the Nuclear Blast label.
This peculiar disc is a CD on one side and a DVD on the other side; the outer (unused) region of each side is painted black like a regular CD or DVD back side.
The EP also contains some video material from Ringfest, a promotional trailer for the Fire and Blood DVD, and a link to a special website.
To promote the EP, a promotional music video was made for the song "I Believe".
"The Dawn of Battle" was featured in the 2009 video game Brütal Legend.
