Manowar

The artist Ken Kelly is currently painting the artwork for the new Manowar album. This isn't exactly news, because we all know that whatever happens, the album cover will basically be a giant muscular warrior

Oh and swords. And magic mist.

Didn't even know they were working on a new album! Very much looking forward to it. Can only be better than the last one.

Yes Manowar should make more songs about isolated, definite episodes in history. Every time they do this they always succeed. Some examples:

1. Spirit Horse of the Cherokee
2. Guyana (Cult of the Damned)
3. Outlaw
4. Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy
5. Shell Shock
6. Dark Avenger

That's my opinion. Most people criticise their songwriting because it's too abstract. So you get the same words coming up over and over again. Manowar can make good albums in the abstract style, one example is Kings of Metal but I just feel they need something more topical now.

Well that was their plan with the Asgard Saga, the project that mystically disappeared...

Oh yeah, those are the missing Manowar tracks that I think about often. I had the Thunder in the Sky EP but I sold it for some reason. How regrettable

What a mistake, the Thunder in the Sky was the last Manowar release of true greatness!

"This is one that everyone said Manowar would never have the balls to play live."

Manowar - Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy Live

Not the best quality but an incredible piece of evidence

Never question Manowar's balls!

Battle Hymns live '89

Battle Hymns live '05 (best version in existence!)

Wherever we ride, it's metal we bring

Picture of Manowar signing their first recording contract in blood. This might have seemed to be a good idea at the time. But there are actually no two 'classic' Manowar albums that used the same recording label.
