Написать обзор нового альбома любимой группы в данном случае задача простая и в то же время неимоверно сложная. Простая потому, что (несмотря на то, что, будучи фанатом, всегда боишься, что на новом альбоме в звучании группы произошли изменения, которые тебе не понравятся, а обзор должен быть хоть чуточку объективным) это великая честь для меня писать о ЛУЧШЕМ АЛЬБОМЕ MANOWAR ЗА ВСЮ ИСТОРИЮ. В то же время это сложная задача, потому что как ты сможешь передать те чувства, которые возникают у тебя при прослушивании песен?
Обзор песен с нового альбома (Дмитрий Терёхин)
Итак, у меня в Winamp’е 7 песен с нового альбома Manowar Warriors of the World и Nessun Dorma образца 99 года. Конечно говорить что-то пока рано и качество записей местами прихрамывает, поэтому не судите строго. Мнения об этом альбоме я встречаю разные. В пункте похожесть я буду сравнивать в первую очередь с Louder than Hell, к которому имхо этот альбом наиболее близок.
Рассказ о встрече Manowar с фанами в Кёльне от соотечественника
Как известно новый альбом поступил в продажу официально только в понедельник, поэтому поводу в самом большом музыкальном магазине Кёльна была презентация. Я узнал об этом в интернете на Blabbermouth’e, все официальные сайты хранили молчание по этому поводу.
Joey DeMaio by COMMANDER X
Why is it, whenever I have a preappointed phone interview with some band, every mutha in the world wants to ring me at exactly that time? It’s some kind of cosmic conspiracy, I know. Joey DeMaio (officially the loudest bass player of officially the loudest band in the world, MANOWAR — source — Guiness Book of Records) has just answered the phone. Within nanoseconds, the beeps start. «Look just hold on there Joey, I’ll get rid of this call» and so it goes, ultimately ignoring the pesky blips, I manage to accumulate 8 goddam messages, then the phone is silent for the best part of the rest of the day. Go figure!
Interview with Joey by Eduardo Magnani
What can I say about ManowaR? Just that they are incredible and the most loyal metal band in the world. Well, they are releasing the video Hell on Earth Part 1 and when you read this interview you will be certain that this video probably will be one of the best metal videos of all times. This interview was done with Joey DeMaio (B), the man that conduct ManowaR, and when you see his answers you will see that ManowaR preach the eternal passion and fight in name of Heavy Metal. Only one advice before you read it: “Whimps and Posers, Leave the Hall”!
Other band play…
Dedication, loyalty, and staying true to what you believe in, is what I think of when I listen to Manowar. I’ve been a fan of the band since their first album Battle Hymns, and always loved what they stand for. After eight studio albums, they recently released not one, but two live albums. Hell on Wheels Live, and Hell on Stage Live. I recently spoke with Joey DeMaio about the live records, the new live video Hell On Earth Part # 1, former guitar player Ross The Boss and about metal in general. The bands official web site www.manowar.org is packed with great information, and is a great site to bookmark and visit frequently for all band news, and merchandise. Thanks go out to Alan and Joey DeMaio for making this opportunity.
Interview with Karl Logan by Tim Wadzinski
«Manowar Manowar living on the road…» Okay, so Manowar has been a big favorite of mine for about 13-odd years now. I recently chatted with new-ish guitarist Karl Logan. I *thought* we were going to talk about their new double live album on Metal Blade, HELL ON STAGE LIVE, but as you’ll see gears shifted quickly (and awkwardly) to their then- current US tour and the big upcoming European jaunt with Motorhead and Dio. Thanks, Bob. (You know who you are.)
Q&A with Eric Adams
MANOWAR have kept the faith and now they’re back on a major label with some great tunes. There are a couple of almost ballad type songs. I’m sure everyone can relate to the tune «Outlaw» since most bikers not unlike the early cowboys consider themselves outlaws. Two great, I mean great, songs come together in «Today Is A Good Day To Die» which comes from the great chief Crazy Horse. It’s what he told his warriors when they went into battle.»My Spirit Lives On» represents the ascendance of the warrior spirit and the transcendence of everyday life. These two songs paint a larger-than-life picture to all of us. I love this band.
