Cheesiness prevails! Chains, swords, tits, gargoyles and tentacles, paired with lyrics pretending to be about Norse mythology, that's exactly what the world's been waiting for!

Overture To The Hymn Of The Immortal Warriors
CHEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEE

They should be ashamed of themeselves!

Nobody could need more Odin than is available on this album.

My god, this is just to much to handle

Mercy please!!! That's really for the poutso! Lame as hell!!!

All those who blaspheme, you are hereby declared wimps and posers. Leave the hall.

This has all the hallmarks of being yet another awesome Manowar album (well, they're all awesome, because they're all pretty similar!), with the great cover, great title, and great song names. Can't wait!

Agreed, sickening amounts of posery in this thread .

This release will be awesome.

Athought I've been kicked from "the hall" once before, I'm just going to poke my head here to shout "FUCKING LOL"

. . . Editing for hilarity

14. Odin

That's classic, but this wins:

"Overture To The Hymn Of The Immortal Warriors"

I'm going to buy this album just because the track names are the best I've heard ever.

This will be a good release..

Whoa, never seen so many Odins at one time

Yea, so many Odins.. Where did Thor go??

"Blood Brothers"? I hope this is no Iron Maiden cover. I have never liked Manowar at all.

Anyway, I miss some "[insert substantive here] Of Steel" in this album. Just a bonus track entitled "Die for Metal" isn't Manowar enough. :p

"Hymn of the Immortal Warriors", "Glory Majesty Unity" lololololol...

They sure like Odin

I'm curious about this album.
The title seems to be created by Nanowar instead of Manowar
and there shure is a lot of Odin.
but the other songs all have nice titles and I like Manowar.

Up to this album I pretty much liked every album cover, but this one ... meh I don't like it.
But the music shall be as great as always, at least the song titles sound very promising.

Oh dear god they've got to be joking with those song names...
Overture To The Army of Immortal Blood Sons of Odin of The King of Kings of Odin Of Fire?


..just kidding. I'll have to check the new album just as usual

I wish.

AWESOME.

Cant wait to here those songs !!!

They suuure love Odin. They're giving Amon Amarth a run for their money.

Oh come on, what do you expect of Manowar? We all know them so this is not surprising at all.. I love their music and I can't wait for the album! No matter how the cover looks like or what the song names are..;)

@Sanvean: dude shut up : .......and don't you also like Rhapsody Of Fire

anyway this new album might be their best yet, I loved the EP to death! Some may call this cheese, I call it EPIC! This si the type of shit that makes me proud to be a Metal Fan! I will be picking this one up!

It's impossible to be objective about Manowar. You either find the whole thing utterly ridiculous or it makes you 'proud to like metal music'.
Personally I find their own lack of self absurdity totally hilarious...and I DO like metal music. These guys make Spinal Tap look like TOOL.
Manowar, and this is just my owm opinion, embody everything that makes heavy metal an object of ridicule. There's no sense of irony, no self deprecation.....just 4 guys that think the world revolves around them and anyone who doesn't 'get' them is merely not worthy of their attention.
This album is almost 10 minutes old before there is one note of electric music, and of the 16 songs here there are 7 that contain nothing more than what sounds like the audio from He-Man has been lifted from an old video tape and laid onto the cd verbatim. It is completely overblown and absurd.........and the lyrics to the last song "Die For Metal" have to heard to be believed, if you can choke back the tears of hilarity for a few seconds that is. Derek St Hubbins eat your heart out.

Truly, this is one of the worst albums I have ever heard.

Indeed. I've seen another webzine not filing this under "album reviews", but under "audio book reviews" instead

I heard that there are more intros than real songs in this lp.

Just when you though Manowar, a band I absolutely adore despite the cheesiness of...all their songs, couldn't get any more stupid, this comes out. Half of the tracks are intros with narration from someone who is not named Orson Welles.
