Battle Hymns 2011
Battle Hymns 2011 - Born To Live Forevermore: MANOWAR's influence in the rock music industry is undeniable. Since their inception they have established themselves as the irrefutable 'Kings Of Metal'. They are arguably the greatest heavy metal band of all time. Their impressive and sometimes audacious career is characterized by stellar musicianship, unparalleled song craftsmanship and sheer determination. To date the band has released thirteen studio and live albums, eight DVDs and numerous complations, most of which have been certified gold and all of which have sold in excess of eight million units worldwide. With unrivaled conviction, and the courage to unflinchingly cut their own path as their guiding ethos, MANOWAR have left an indelible imprint on the Heavy Metal genre of music. And Battle Hymns is the album that started it all. In yet another brilliant stroke of unwavering determination, MANOWAR have decided to re-record their now-classic debut album. What? You might be asking yourself. Re-record a classic? But think about it; in the words of the band themselves "we constantly receive requests for the classics. Our fans love the early songs as much as they love the new ones," says vocalist Eric Adams. Okay, but why re-record it? With modern technology and 30 years of experience at the helm (not to mention Christopher Lee providing his own inspired interpretation of the late, great Orson Welles on "Dark Avenger"), MANOWAR is poised to prove that both the band and the immortal Battle Hymns record are indeed "Born To Live Forevermore".
