So I randomly came across a Facebook post about a new Manowar album. I had no idea there was one out so I checked it out..
It has probably the weirdest bass tone ever..
And as if that wasn't weird enough... Manowar are collaborating on a forthcoming movie with Jean Claude Van Damme. Surreal is the word that comes to mind !

Haha, I know a true metal enthusiast at GMC who will like this
The bass tone is really interesting, sounds kinda distorted with something else mixed into it.
Manowar and JCVD...sounds logical.
Yeah, this could only be topped by two headlines:
"Kirk Hammett kicked out...Dave Mustaine to take his spot in Metallica"
and
"Axl Rose and Slash friends again - G'n'R touring with old, legendary line-up (support act: Metallica)"
That bass tone makes me feel like my speakers are busted....
Hey dear FRIENDS, brothers of METAL ,soldiers of STEEL,
this album is out for a while , i've heard "EL Gringo" firstly and was suprised that old True Metal warriors still kick butts like 30 years ago!!
Manowar's song is actually official song of the movie EL Gringo which is out in cinemas!!
Check out official trailer, i know soldier Ben would trully like this movie
Heavy Metal Or NO METAL At All!!!!
I love metal, and I like Manowar, I used to hear a lot the album Kings Of Metal... but I found a bit boring and frustrating to find this new song and read again the word "Steel" in the tittle... maybe metalheads will hate me but I wonder.... why do they always talk about the same thing?
Because Metal music lyrics are bout Brotherhood , Friendship and Steel !!
And MAnowar is metal with real meaning - their songs aren't just random rhyming words put together, but actually tell a nice story or send a message ,
metal that isn't made just to appeal to the brainless masses, but made because it's what the musicians want to do, and they will display their artistic music to the truly devoted fans.
metal that stays true to its style, no matter what the current trend is !!
That's what real metal really is, brothers!!
Yeah man, you're so right but the music industry nowadays really sucks and it's hard to retain the quality of the albums the made in 80's and 90's.
I also adore German power metal bands like Running Wild, Heaven's Gate , Gamma Ray, Stormwitch, and i'm not happy that Running Wild didn't make quality album since The Black Hand Inn , in fact the last album Shadowmaker is totall junk
The last album I didn't listened yet, I bought "The Brotherhood" and was totally disapointed, but I have to disagree with you, "The Rivalry" I like very much actually
Yeah, i also bought Victory and Brotherhood cd's when they came but wasn't much excited when i heard them., i think they started using rhytm machine instead of real drums on those albums
Tragedy with the newest album Shadowmaker - starts from the cover and goes on with music...
Do you attend Keep it True Festival?
yeah, I like when bands really keep their essence and thoughts... but I also like when bands are creative and keep on developing their own style... a good example is Iron Maiden, they always kept their essence with some differences or evolution, while their lyrics usually talk about different stories, concepts... I would feel bored if they talked about the number of the beast or about being fear of the dark in every new album... does it make sense?
by the way I understand the concept of "true metal", I don't think that a band that doesn't talk about brother and steel is fake but I respect what you think.
Once again guys,,, I love metal, I'm just sharing my point of view.
If we're brutally honest with ourselves, most of what we buy into in this life is fantasy. Anyone that talks about 'a way of life' is always talking out of their backsides, it's got nothing to do with a way of life. All great art (including music, movies, books) and also hobbies and interests all cater to our self image that we have of ourselves. Our self image is not 'real', it's just how we think of ourselves. I think that's why we love metal bands and their conceptual lyrics. (and all other music) They take us to somewhere else for a while, they let us live out that fantasy in our minds. Even if people insist that they're not into the the escapism or fantasy of it, and they relate instead to the anger or being pumped up etc, they're still relating to the fantasy because what's connected with them is something that was created out of someone's mind.
When I say the word fantasy I don't mean mythology and dragons and fairies, I mean it in the purest sense of the word.. a 'creation of the mind' or something like that. A song about men wearing suits and working in a bank is still a fantasy because it was an imaginary creation.
I think that indulging our imaginary fantasies and interests is vey important to getting the most out of life. Whatever brings you happiness and inspires you in a positive way is a good thing and can contribute to your quality and experience of life. Positive fantasy doesn't have to mean all 'goodness and light' either. For example, if I can indulge my interest in the idea of a double agent travelling the world and killing bad guys in hand to hand combat then it's still a positive fantasy in that it inspired me and satisfies a certain taste that I have in entertainment.
I'm not really making a point of anything with this post, it's more of an observation.. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts too
WHo's this guy? He's crazy
