    One of the sick things about Manowar is that Eric can sing even today in his 70s insanely powerful. Latest shows are absolutely great

      To be fair - and totally not to his detriment - he used to be even better. But he still gets up there, which is amazing at that age. The last time I saw them live was 2019 in Stuttgart, and it truly was unbelievable.

      @@pavolridrich3434 I bet he could, but I gotta be honest - the last full album (the Lord of Steel) is the only one of their whole discography I just can't listen to. I think it's a mess of an album, with no direction, terrible lyrics and horrible sound editing. So unless Joey gets his shit together and produces some real bangers like he used to, I'd rather they didn't.

      @@martinbuhrer3893 I don't know, I really like the Lord of Steel. And that bass sound, which for many people doesn't fit was great for me. Yeah it may not be as fast as before but we need to be realistic, they are not 25 years old anymore so it most likely will affect their writing as well. But I like that album, I listen to both versions many times and I think I like "bassy" version more.
      I wish they can make some fast and shredding songs with Batio now.
      It is kinda sad, woth Manowar close to their "final battle" and my one of the top Iced Earth probably gone too and Nightwish who knows what happens ..it looks like I need to find something new... i am still very happy that Snowy Shaw is still productive :)

      They did tune their instruments down one step due to Eric Adams' voice getting lower with age but his technique and the sound of his voice is just as good as it ever was.

    This album has the whole variety of Manowar, from speed, to slow, and more traditional Metal, and the band is quite happy to take the piss out of themselves, not like other bands of the era, who took themselves to seriously. Eric Adams is the most humble lead singer, very approachable to the fans, giving them lessons, on how to ground themselves, and sing from the diaphragm, teaching them to scream, just a fucking legend. Bought Battle Hymns, when it was first released back in the early 80's, Manowar, and Manila Road, are the first true, and proper traditional U.S Metal bands, and Power Metal originators, are Manowar! Don't listen to them Euro-wankers that try and say Helloween was first, I lived this era, Manowar are the Kings of Power Metal!

    • @martinbuhrer3893
      @martinbuhrer3893 Год назад

      Who claims that Helloween was first? Manowar was founded in 1980 - Helloween in 1984. There's no debate, is there? Also I think that the styles can't even be compared. Manowar is much heavier and epic, while Helloween seem to be having more fun with the genre. Manowar - especially today - may seem like a parody of a band, but almost all of their songs are dead serious. They have always been all about battle, victory and loss, tragedy and triumph. While not always meant to be taken at face value, their lyrics have always been straightforward and heavy with imagery, even schmaltz. I'm not saying that I would have it any other way, though, because that is what I've loved about the band for the biggest part of my life. But give Helloween some credit for breaking out of that ultra-serious "us against the world" metal shell and creating something of their own. Just from listening to their hit songs, I'd say they were influenced a lot more by Maiden and Priest anyway than they were by Manowar.
      But yeah, I absolutely agree about "Kings of Metal" - what an absolute beast of an album. Definitely one of their best - but trying to rank the albums until the early 90's is almost impossible to me. They're all so close to perfection, it's scary.

      @@barryallen1967 Manowar is not the kind of Power Metal as we have grown to know it over the past 40 years, true. But their style is without a doubt powerful metal and thus contributed to and influenced the development of what we know today as Power Metal. Back then, Manowar would have been definitely labeled as "Power Metal".

    I'm not a fan of the Pleasure Slave track. It's a bonus track placed on there after the vinyl release, and to these ears it weakens an otherwise floorless epic album.

    I was waiting in line at a Kamelot concert several years ago and there was a 70 year old lady from Puerta Rico in line with her daughters. She was talking about all the metal shows she wanted to see and I remember Man-O-War was one of them. I found a new hero that day!

    Awesome music on early Manowar's albums though most of their lyrics were too cheesy for my taste.
