MANOWAR
THE LAST WARRIOR
Manowar are the epitome of Power Metal a.k.a. Heavy Metal that adds a little cheese to the mix, that is both epic and bombastic and kind of ridiculous when looking at the lyrical content. An american band formed in 1980 that has, to this day, released 10 studio albums and sold over 9 million copies worldwide without ever compromising to the mainstream.
On this 2 cd compilation, I've tried to portray the band's musical evolution throughout its almost three decades of activity. In my humble opinion, they are one of the best classic Heavy Metal outfits from the USA, able to offer grandiloquent warrior hymns (Heart of Steel, Courage) as well as straight out Heavy Rock'n'Roll (All Men Play on 10, Return of the Warlord).
Sadly, their last two albums lacked the band's initial energy focusing too much on orchestral "Pomp" Metal rather than their on old rocking sound. Yet, there are still a few tracks worth the effort.
Enjoy "The Last Warrior" and make sure to comment on the selection, artwork, etc.
