12 studio albums on, MANOWAR are still at war, not far away from their warrior looks and still ageing. This album has already been out, as a Hammer Edition, which Joey Demaio, bass, explains with the fact that many movies have two versions, and that MANOWAR are no different. As a surprise, they have written two songs as homage to Ennio Morricone and the Sylvester Stallone movie The Expendables. Nuff said, since you all know what to expect, let\u00b4s check this eagerly awaited disc out. <\/p>\n
The title track opens the disc, as it should be, and in doing so proves itself to be a surefire hit. I personally think there will be a number of hits on this album; the title track, classic MANOWAR style, \u201cManowarriors\u201d, for the fanatical hordes, \u201cEl Gringo\u201d, if the fans can handle the gunpowder variation, \u201cAnnihilation\u201d, the track that keeps it all together this time, \u201cHail Kill and Die\u201d, the one that sums up their entire career will be loved in wider circles, and, finally, the chanting and battle hymnal \u201cThe Kingdom of Steel\u201d. But, alas, there is a negative side to this album, which is actually just about half of it. \u201cBorn in a Grave\u201d is something of a parody, \u201cRighteous Glory\u201d even more so, as goes for the formulaic heavy metal masturbation \u201cBlack List\u201d. The simplicity of \u201cExpendable\u201d is nothing much to write home about either, and the wimpy \u201cTouch the Sky\u201d feels simply outdated. So, this time around oh might warriors you have in truth both delivered and disappointed. <\/p>\n
