Gods Of War - Manowar

Manowar - Gods of War Another band that my son has asked me to listen to. ~~A bit of background~~ Apparently they are officially the Worlds loudest band and have played the worlds longest heavy metal concert....I got this info from Wikipedia before having a listen.....I was already thinking that they may not be for me. They are heavy metal in the old style, and concentrate on the fantasy and war type songs, well look at the track listing and you will see what I mean. The album was released in 2007 and has added to their 10 million plus sales worldwide (and I had never heard of them). I laughed somewhat trying to read the CD booklet which is ...

Warriors Of The World - Manowar

Continuing the trend of increasingly disappointing and increasingly self-aggrandising albums, Manowar s first offering of the new millennium reinvents the band s sound slightly, and experiments with genres that are really stretching their credibility as Metal Kings. Released in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, this album from the New York band mixes modern patriotism with their ever-present Viking complex, leading to a bizarre and never particularly satisfying blend of old and new. There are a few heavy metal songs on here, but only a few: roughly half of the album is consumed by interludes ( Valhalla and The March ), well-performed but unnecessary covers ...

Louder Than Hell - Manowar

Seemingly learning a lesson from their previous, frankly dull album, Manowar return their focus to average-length heavy metal songs, albeit performed in a more power metal style suited to the 1990s. New guitarist Karl Logan is a vast improvement over his predecessor David Shankle, providing many fast and twiddly guitar solos throughout, but the quality and originality of the songs tends to fall flat, especially compared to the band s early work. Songs such as Outlaw and The Power are extremely fast and energetic, balanced out by anthemic grooves in Return of the Warlord and Number 1, but the album s experimentations elsewhere aren t as successful. Continuing the ...
