i have just returned from the Wisslord studios in Holland where Joey presented the new manowar album The Lord of Steel to the circle, guests and media last night, and i can say it was awesome, Joeys bass sounds great, and Eric is as great as ever, and with the return of Donnie to the band his drumming brings the songs to life with his trademark fills and rolls, Karls solo.s shred big time.
So get prepared for a heavy metal summer with this new album !!
If you have any questions please fill free to ask.

Re: Manowar

Personally, I think they need to go back to playing more war and blood, balls out, metal bashers and ease up on the sentimental ballad crap they seem to have a growing fondness for. A few of them are pretty good but enough is enough already, IMO.

And I say this as long time fan ....The new ballad is giving me the wrong impression of Manowar. :bonk:

This was posted 2 years ago but it is basically what I think when I listen to Manowar. I did like some of the ballads but one of the albums I heard was quite dominated by them and really threw me off. I will go for recommendations for albums where they were the heavier stuff.

MANOWAR Confirm New Movie Project With ‘Expendables 2’ Star Jean-Claude Van Damme

Following their recent movie debut with the title song for the action-western EL GRINGO, MANOWAR have confirmed their next soundtrack project, ‘Soldiers’, st...arring action icon Jean Claude Van Damme.

Van Damme, who is Sylvester Stallone’s co star as an arch villain in ‘Expendables 2’ said about the collaboration: “I met with Joey DeMaio and explained my vision for the entire soundtrack, he will be writing original score as well as bringing MANOWAR songs to the movie.”

Produced by Hollywood veteran and long-term Van Damme collaborator, action specialist Moshe Diamant (‘The Black Dahlia’, ‘Hard Target’, ‘Sudden Death’), ‘Soldiers’ follows Van Damme on an action packed quest for righteousness, retribution and resurrection.

"Joey DeMaio has the musical ability to write fighting hymns, soulful ballads and deeply emotional scores.” said producer Moshe Diamant.

“We’ve always had a passion for movies, especially those that celebrate the values that matter for us: righteousness, honor, bravery. Contributing musically to such stories, and working with some of the greatest action heroes in cinema history is an honor and a pleasure. We are ready to deliver a powerful soundtrack to this really great movie ” said Joey DeMaio.

‘Soldiers’ is scheduled for release in Spring 2013.

Much the same with the dates etc... ( post above ) but this bit of news is quite worth a read, what with the division of opionion regarding the bass sound on the new LP, although i dont know HOW the LP is going to differ from the current release....
