THE REVIEW
The heavy metal was born in 1980 with the release of "back in black".
However, in 1988, the album by Manowar was released, considered a masterpiece by many. I haven't listened to all of it, but I say this is a great album that surely made music history.
There are songs like the opening wheels on fire that explain Manowar's love for engines, followed by the legendary kings of metal, a great song, and I'll also highlight the iconic hearts of steel.
Then comes the song that left the world stunned the crown and ring, recorded in the chapel where Prince Charles of England was married, songs of Viking choirs.
Other noteworthy songs include hail and kill, the group's most famous song, and the final blood of the kings, accused of nazism for the refrain back to Germany.
Surely, this band is not fascist; they are pure and hardcore metalheads who invented epic metal with their second album "into glory ride" and fused it with heavy metal in this album.
bye.

Heart of Steel is incredibly emotional and intense, one of the greatest Metal ballads ever composed.
Manowar remains, by virtue of albums like this one, a great band, which shares nothing with the current Power Metal bands so useless and inconsistent.
By Battlegods
"Kings of metal is considered one of the most representative and famous albums by Manowar and of epic metal in general."
"The last song is the legendary Blood of the kings, a truly exciting and epic track that has the honor of concluding this other masterpiece by the great Manowar!!"
By MosMaiorum84
Manowar's 'Kings of Metal' is the very definition of epic heavy metal.
Every track is a testament to their unshakeable dedication to the genre.
