Gods Of War - Manowar

Manowar - Gods of War Another band that my son has asked me to listen to. ~~A bit of background~~ Apparently they are officially the Worlds loudest band and have played the worlds longest heavy metal concert....I got this info from Wikipedia before having a listen.....I was already thinking that they may not be for me.
