Kings Of Metal largely follows the commercial route of it's immediate predecessor. Not that this is a throwback to the rocking days of Battle Hymns, but compared to Manowar's earlier works, the band is now blatantly fishing for poppy hooks (which in itself is not necessarily a bad thing) and the production is a slicker, more professional affair. DeMaio, aside from still being a troublingly devoted bass soloist, also found time to work on his lyrics which finally hit rock bottom with "Pleasure Slave", a song too clumsy and stupid to offend or actually make the listener waste his time dwelling on it. Disregarding the lyrics, the music remains so utterly simplistic and hook-free that Manowar might just have achieved the dubious distinction of writing the worst metal song of the 80s (and, who knows, actually be proud of it).

Kings Of Metal had the potential to be the high point of Manowar's career. In several ways, it represents the crystallization of the band's well-known and oft-parodied style, that strange mixture of bombastic buffoonery and pure, unadulterated heavy metal. Yet, most unfortunately, Manowar seems to have screwed themselves out of pure success, as they tend to do.

I know a guy, who is normally listening to BM stuff, he is even working in one czech label and really knows about metal music and he is honestly saying, that this is the best heavy metal album ever...

... that this is the best heavy metal album ever...
Even Manoward's own first three albums are vastly superior to this.

It's also laughable the concept that if someone works for a label, their opinion is in some way better than the average person, or holds more weight of some sort.

So hard. So true.
Wimps and posers leave the hall... can't stand the scrutiny of their own call.
guess that means there's no show at all.

I dont understand why people call this the best Manowar album. Battle Hymns, Into Glory Ride, Hail to England are all way better. Thats obviously the most popular Manowar CD, but for me its pure averageness
