I laugh at the tasty pain of a band that has no idea left that's worth anything. They claim to be true and then release four live DVDs in just a few years and limited editions that serve solely and exclusively their wallets. I see a narcissistic and simply pathetic formation commercializing in a terrifying way, always aiming for the same covers despite being nearly 50 years old. By comparison, the most promiscuous boy band is super innovative, and as much as this may sting TRUE METAL fans, this is the TRUE truth. The same shaven and muscular warrior is still kicking ass against the bad guys. Once they released Warriors Of The World to go seek out, with swords drawn, who brought down the twin towers. Innovation has been dead and buried for years, but they can no longer change; otherwise, they would lose their category of fan(atic). The fact that DeMaio & Co. have probably never been in a war is secondary. It's enough to write once again about honor, glory, death, blood, freedom... The impossibly fit warrior never tires. No PlayStation, no beers at the pub, or simple fooling around. No, heâs always on the front lines, ready to plunge his sword into the side of the latest unfortunate victim. Yes, because once upon a time, there were no automatic weapons, and in battle, it was the bravest who won... Those were the good old days. And so everyone arms themselves against the new enemies (Call To Arms), for a cry of freedom (Fight For Freedom) and ready to fight once again united (Warriors Of The World) to bring death and destruction (House Of Death) to the enemy. Maybe weâll die (Fight Until We Die), but weâll do it fighting. But the same game can be played for âHail And Killâ, the self-celebration in âKings Of Metalâ and âNumber Oneâ. Their religion is metal because letâs not forget the amusing and incredibly cheesy âThe Gods Made Heavy Metalâ. Be careful to mock them because they are the âGods Of Warâ and they fight with steel. Not joking!!! Once in a while, they propose a new innovative product to the record label McDonald's of the moment, and just like in 1987 there was âMc Fighting The World,â now we have the brand-new âMc Warriors Of The World/Mc Gods Of War,â complete with the true-meal sword for killing the false. Because they donât make money by taking us for fools. Heaven forbid!!! They feed on pure ideals and donât aim for money with all the identical CDs!!! No, the Hell On Earth I, II, and III DVDs, and the indispensable The Absolute Power DVD, not to mention the must-have Live version of Gods Of War. All these products released in the last six years are a godsend. Itâs a metal Santa Claus offering us these odes of divine inspiration to improve the world, and we must hope this sacred rain doesnât stop.
These are Manowar. Nazis??? If we look at the lyrics, they lean a bit more to the right, but I wouldnât be surprised if this were just a facade. True in the sense of being non-commercial and idealistic??? Letâs not kid ourselves; they are a band that tries to sell like everyone else and has had its time... there are those who put the current girl on the cover and those with the bloodthirsty warrior.
If I can take one last pebble out of my shoe, I conclude that Manowar is one of the bands that does the most harm to the movement and is shamelessly overrated. They create fucked-up stereotypes and, above all, take away space from technically more gifted formations, more inspired (and moderate) in their lyrics and their ability to create melodies that can endure over time without being mere copy-paste of what has been done in the past.
Metal greetings.
