Manowar is a band that has set standards, broken records and won great accolades during its storied career. Known to their worldwide supporters as the "Kings Of Metal", the band has constantly redefined heavy metal by combining peerless musicianship and song writing with their undeniable commitment to true metal and their devoted fans. The band has always made the solemn pledge to create original music that is louder than hell and stronger than steel. The long standing lineup of vocalist Eric Adams, guitarist Karl Logan, drummer Scott Columbus and bassist Joey DeMaio is truly a force to be reckoned with in the studio and on stage. In addition they are the originators of the musical styles known as power metal and true metal.

As Manowar now prepares to unveil their tenth studio album, expectations from fans are higher than ever and Manowar are sure to exceed those expectations. The new album Gods Of War is Manowar's first entry in a cycle of concept albums; each a tribute to a different war god. Gods Of War brings out the greatest of Manowar's musical attributes by utilizing both epic song structures and dramatic narratives. Much like Ragnarok - the final battle at the end of the world - when listening to Manowar's epic saga, the earth will shake, the walls will crumble and only true fans of metal will remain standing, heads held high, with the triumphant glimmer of a battle well-fought in their eyes.

Gods Of War features brand new cover artwork by the world's leading fantasy artist Ken Kelly, as well as a scorching mix done by the unparalleled Ronald Prent.

Besides the normal Jewel Case version, Gods Of War will also be released as a limited edition in an embossed metal slipcase containing a high grade mediabook bound in leather.Furthermore, this limited edition will feature a bonus DVD with unreleased material about the making of this album and some special behind-the-scenes footage. A double-vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve will also be available.

In their career Manowar has released 9 studio albums, two live albums and 5 DVDs with sales of over nine million records worldwide, as well as silver and gold records and numerous other industry awards. The last studio album Warriors Of The World was a critically-acclaimed worldwide chart topper, reaching gold status in Germany.

The most current album by the "Kings Of Metal" was first released in 2002 and features the classic hits Warriors Of The World, Fight For Freedom, Call To Arms and other highlights from the most successful period in the band’s career. Warriors Of The World is a wild and uncompromising trip through sounds and dimensions of Metal, a breathtaking audio-experience which will not only fascinate Manowar fans but also aficionados of larger than life epic music. Achieving gold status in Germany, Warriors of the World also charted and sold well in several European countries and the ensuing 2 year tour included the televised historic performance at the Ringfest in Cologne in front of 27 000 fans!
As a special bonus, the digi pack Silver Edition features a 16-pages booklet with new and rare photos, interviews with the band members (and others) plus lyrics and liner notes. In addition to this, the album has been digitally remastered using the original studio mastertapes.

Released in 1999 Hell on Stage – Live has perfectly captured what fans can expect from a Manowar concert: nothing but pure excess energy and over the top uncompromising power. Dynamic changes and a great setlist make each concert a powerful experience which leaves no doubt to who the true "Kings Of Metal" are. Features all-out versions of the classics Blood Of The Kings, The Power and Gates Of Valhalla and blasts them straight into your living room. The crowd participation on the intro of The Warrior’s Prayer is nothing short of breathtaking…

Hell On Wheels - Live features the acoustic essence of this "hell" for the home stereo equipment. Recorded with perfect sound quality while still giving you that authentic live feeling, Hell On Wheels clocks in at 2 hours and features some of the strongest songs by the best Heavy Metal band of all time! Captured during the 1997 Hell On Wheels tour, this live album is a must for every headbanger who cares about quality and can be held in the same regard as Deep Purple’s Made In Japan, The Who’s Live at Leeds and Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains The Same.

1984 release from the heavy metal band featuring 10 tracks, including 'All Men Play On 10', 'Animals' and 'Thor (The Powerhead)'. A 10 Records release.

Hail To England is the third album by the "Kings Of Metal" and without a doubt a true milestone in the bands discography. No less than four of the seven tracks have become true Manowar classics: Kill With Power, Army Of The Immortals, the title track Hail to England and Bridge Of Death. Hail To England is Heavy Metal in its purest way – mighty, powerful and melodic.

In a declaration of war against its critics and the conservative-minded music industry and as a vow of honour to their fans and their music, the members of Manowar inked their second recording contract in their own blood for the release of Into Glory Ride. The band’s second album has shown further development, particularly in terms of the songwriting, which has already become more epic compared with their debut. The album contains some undoubted Manowar classics such as Gates Of Valhalla, Secret Of Steel, Revelation (Death’s Angel) and March of Revenge (By The Soldiers Of Death). This epic album of monumental proportions also heralded the arrival of Scott Columbus, later known as the "Drummer of Doom".

The metal veteran's 1982 album for Liberty/ Capitol fromSweden. Eight tracks, including 'Death Tone', 'Metal Daze' &'Fast Taker'.
