Hold The Faith - Warrior King

Advantages: A five octave voice, The precursor to power metal bands now
Disadvantages: May induce you to wearing fur, a horned helm and screaming Odin

...Manowar: The self proclaimed kings of metal. Do they have a right to give themselves this title? Yes they do. Manowar have a huge fan base and a plethora of successful albums behind them. I have been a fan of Manowar since they started, and when I go to rock venues wearing my Manowar t-shirts, many people chirp up things like "Dude manowar rocks" Whilst being labelled an Heavy Metal band, they are actually power metal. Manowar Anthology is actually a best of album and comprises tracks from some of Manowars earlier albums. The album cover leaves no illusion to what is at the heart of Manowars music. Predominantly Manowar sing about battle, the power of steel, vikings, warriors etc. Although some of there other tracks such as Kingdom come is more profund, and is aimed at people overcoming adversity and conquering their own personal...

...costumes being ripped off to reveal other tremedous outfits. Of course though there has to be a bad guy, the warrior king. Who believes he should be worshipped, and tries to sway the country's minds. But no one likes a bad guy, and a bully. The warrior king and his crew go head to head battles with the feet, thunder cracks down, and the beats are all made hard and fast hitting with their own feet.

Dancing techniques used are cannon, and unison to frighten you and delude you. fast moving arm techniques sends... Read review

Advantages: Power metal at it's best
Disadvantages: They are extremely self centered

...A great album of this imortal warriors of metal. If you like encouraging songs that sound like battle hymns, this is for your. Wheels of fire is the more typical heavy metal track of the album, even in the lyrics. Fast paced and interesting lyrics (just don't drive while you listen to this). The next tracks, kings of metal, is one of my faves. Great sound with self centered lyrics. A shame the choir sometimes sounds fake. Heart of steel is kind of a balad. Very sentimental and may touch those who feel "linked" to the lyric. I'll jump Sting Of The Bumblebee, The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings), Kingdom Come, because I find them the weaker in the album and I really don't listen to them very much (sting of the bumblebee is almost anoying). Pleasure slave is a lustfull music, with a great sound and ... intereting lurics (just don... Read review
