The now-Manowar is the always-Manowar and not-Manowar at the same time.
Since Louder than Hell, they are making a crude Heavy Metal without what one would call the 'fussiness' of their previous albuns, namely, Kings of Metal and Triumph of Steel.
I like the late Manowar, but sometimes I really miss those fussy things, like when Eric Adams mess with the stereo vocals (some phrases on the left, some on the right - man, I think that's amazing!!!!)... In synthesis, I really miss when Manowar used to leave behind a bit of the True Metal thing to give way to a more Epic... Manowar.
Well, that's just my opinion... and this won't make me less proud of walking around with a Manowar t-shirt.
For me, Manowar will always be THE KINGS OF METAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Stand and face the lord of steel!
Here I am, standing in bewilderment, as a band I once adored continue to release album after album with absolutely no distinction between one another. Hell, last year they even re-recorded their first album, and this one sounds like the previous 3 albums remastered and remixed to produce new stuff.
Maybe "the lord of steel" is a metaphor? "A Lord" - a man of statue with irrefutable status as a superior one, "of Steel" - one who cannot be swayed, i.e. we know what's best, we're going to do the same crap over and over and you're going to buy it! Maybe "Steel" is a metaphor for coins? Well, I doubt they're going to make much judging by the few songs I've heard in the shop.
No, I take it back. Though they are smart enough to make a living from their recycled trash, I highly doubt that they have the sufficient intelligence to come up with such metaphors.

I agree with you.. it seems like they forgot about (or better when away from) the "epicness" but a good album non the less...

I bought this album with the expectation that Manowar had finally given up their style and was trying to move in a more progressive direction. I was shocked and appalled to learn that Manowar's latest album, in fact, heavily resembles their previous releases - to such an extent that it is stylistically indistinguishable! When is Manowar going to change and grow as a band?

I don't think that it's a bad album, but it's certainly very disappointing. I hoped that Manowar would continue in the direction of Thunder in the Sky, but The Lord Of Steel sounds like a step in a very wrong direction. I mean some of the songs are actually quite good (I like especially Touch the sky) and the lyrics are often much better than what I'd expect from Manowar (especially Born in a grave and Righteous glory), but they are all missing something that would make them memorable. Personally I believe that the album is killed by the fact that Eric Adams doesn't have a chance to really shine. His voice is somehow always like in the background of the music, so that the entire thing sounds very generic and misses much of the characteristic power of Manowar songs.

The bass sounds so so thick... I'm liking what I am hearing so far though - but it doesn't sound like it'll be any kind of classic.

This is poor, at best. Worn-out themes, worst bass production ever (just unbelievable), stale riffs... Aside from some of the solos, it's another total letdown.
Fortunately this time I wasn't expecting much. But still more than this crap though. They should have retired 10 years ago.

Even as someone who really likes Manowar (like them enough to have see them live twice at least) I can't bring myself to give this Album anything higher than a 3. It's fucking awful. Seriously, it's like, embarrassing. Surely only the biggest fanboys will get any kind of enjoyment from this?

This is a perfect album. But lots of talentless false metal fan(alternative, grunge,emo,burzum type black,nu etc.) are on the
net. I don't understand these unlucky monitorheads-why do you write about Metal music? ˙(Because i think they hate the Metal).
I think every trendy music worshipper waste their precious time.Maybe i am a Manowar fanboy also.Do you have problem with this?
Ok then kiss my ass!

If a 6 from you is really really bad, what is a 2 then?
I am serious with this, 6 on a scale from 1-10 generally means it's kind of average but has enough good qualities to be a more enjoyable experience than unenjoayable.

You must understand, that i am known (or should be) as a Manowar lover...so giving six for such favorite band means i really dislike it

Wow after all my years of listening to them and defending their awesomeness time and time again (all you old guard hopefully remember) that I finally have to say they have created something that reminds me of a sucking chest wound. They should just tour all the time so they can play their awesome older stuff and stop producing shit.
I feel bad for the poor sap who gets to review this one. Have a tall glass of Vodka with this one.

Why are people commenting on the production? This is essentially a pre-release demo exclusive to Metal Hammer, hence HAMMER EDITION ; which will obviously have bad production. The official retail album will be released on October 19, only then can you judge this album fully. Can Metal Storm please put this in the Manowar demo section?

I'm pretty sure the HAMMER EDITION is not a demo. I will say this, though: if I turn out to be wrong, I'll happily buy the corrected version of the album, because I liked a few of the tracks and it is only because of the horrendous bass production that I don't tend to relisten to it.

good music always shines no matter if it is a demo or not. And here it is crap music. A great production won't make the music any better.

That actually would not have been a bad idea for the band, I could have possibly tried to getting into their work more perhaps. However I'm not sure if Manowar is really the kind of band that would change their sound like that. They seem like the kind of band that likes to "stick true" to what they do best I think.

Guys, listen to the retail copy of the album (includes teh kingdom of steel track) it has different production and sound ... it's awesome
|
|
|
|
|

Yeah... I don't think this review is relevant anymore, now that the retail edition is out and sounds nothing like the hammer edition... Like Joey said in an interview earlier this month, the hammer edition was like a taste/preview of the songs as they we're still in the mixing process to make fans wait less longer to at least hear what they had coming for us. Now that the retail edition is out we should all forget about the hammer edition, at least the people who didn't like it. I see the retail edition not only as a mastered version but also a Lord of steel with more Manowar in it, for example, they've added more high screams from Eric, probably because the fans asked so on the internet, more Karl Logan signature solos and a lot more epicness with more orchestral strings during the choruses and so on. Sure the haters are gonna hate and say that the lyrics aren't very revolutionary and simple but hey it's pure Manowar if you don't understand Manowar it's your thing but I understand them and think it's fucking awesome! so please review the review so it fits with the new version of the lord of steel! Hail and Kill! =T=

I will be honest...i liked it...the bass is different and the lead guitar is very low for my taste...but in overall...i kinda enjoyed...specially the second half of the album...and the 2 or 3 ballads on the album are awesome...i'm not a fan of the band, but when a band produces something bizarre like this (i'm specially speaking about that creepy bass sound), always catches my attention! I like it...if i have to rate this, in my opinion, would be around 6 and 6.5!
