Founded by vocalist Tarek \u201cMS\u201d Maghary in the late 90\u00b4s they have not blushed from worshipping MANOWAR openly. They have opened for their heroes, and claim to be true metal. After  a name change in 2008 (to METAL FORCE) they now return with  a mixed bag of tracks, of which tow are new, the title track and the touring life tribute \u201cMetal on the Road\u201d are brand new. Most of their treasury is here, from the deleted first (raw) demo tape to their latest reunion efforts. <\/p>\n<p>To get started on the right foot, \u201cMetal Law\u201d is spiced up by the crude voice of UDO Dirkschneider. Not really necessary to enforce that barnstormer any more, it must be their finest moment. MANOWAR might as well be the originators of almost every track here. MAJESTY differs only in their surprisingly soft tracks, like the orchestrated version of \u201cGuardians of the Dragongrail\u201d and \u201cSnow on the Mountains\u201d. There is ample glorification of the band, their live shows, the venues and their fans. Every song must be written with the live situation in mind, since most of them are sing-along friendly. \u201cSons of the New Millenium\u201d would even be a contender for the Eurovision Song Contest. A blast from the past is delivered with the old deleted demo. I know why the drummer is not still in the band since he seriously drags the music down. The sound is true demo, but surely a treat to the righteous. The title track is a nice sign of new life, a confident song with a fine refrain. \u201cMetal on the Road\u201d is pure video stuff. It is also a deadringer for SAVAGE`S old 1979 demo \u201cBack on the Road\u201d, a song which the latter seems to be ashamed of even to this day. MAJESTY is not MANOWAR, and probably only aim to be their back up, and tribute choir. Their minds are set, so who\u00b4s gonna stop them. They have also had some chart success in their native Germany so\u2026welcome back. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nCD1<br \/>\nMetal Law (Featuring UDO Dirkschneider)<br \/>\nSword &#038; Sorcery<br \/>\nReign in Glory<br \/>\nHail to Majesty<br \/>\nGuardians of the Dragongrail<br \/>\nKeep It True<br \/>\nAria of Bravery<br \/>\nFields of War<br \/>\nHellforces<br \/>\nSon of Metal<br \/>\nHeavy Metal Battlecry<br \/>\nSons of a New Millennium<br \/>\nInto the Stadiums<br \/>\nMetal to the Metalheads<\/p>\n<p>CD2<br \/>\nOwn the Crown (New Song)<br \/>\nMetal on the Road (New Song)<br \/>\nSnow Is On the Mountains (2011 version)<br \/>\nFreedom Warriors (2011 version)<br \/>\nHalloween (2011 version)<br \/>\nGeh den Weg (Remastered)<br \/>\nMake It.
