Notable Quotes

❝ Undisputed champions of the second era of epic metal (which began at the start of the 21st century, thanks also to the advent of similar and compatriot bands such as Doomsword, Assedium, and Holy Martyr), the Milanese Wotan presented this astounding Epos in 2007.

❝ Mannilla road, Warlord, Cirith Ungol, Manowar... this is what our own Wotan are, a niche band (too much so) in Italy but one that has found fortune abroad (Greece above all).
