Indeed! However the only album in my possession is the Conqueror album from 2008 and I love every song.

That's ok. However, I do own 'The Hell Of Steel' compilation and it features the three best songs from Triumph Of Steel, and they are: Power of Thy Sword Metal Warriors The Demon's Whip With this compilation I don't feel the need to re-purchase Triumph because it contains these 3 songs...

Two other good 2015 releases: Cauldron - In Ruin Hatchet - Fear Beyond Lunacy

I'm really looking forward to Accept's new album with new singer Mark Tornillo called 'The Rise Of Chaos' since I highly enjoy the other three with him.

Very true, and the covers were quite good, too.

Agree with everything said here. Judas Priest's 'Exciter' which came out in 1978 sounds to me like it was heavily influenced by Deep Purple's 'Fireball'. If you listen to both songs, you'll see what I mean. I think Deep Purple were the earliest example of a lot of proto speed metal and thrash...

Thrash is influenced by punk music, originally what guys in Overkill, Metallica, Exodus, Slayer and Anthrax etc. were doing was fusing NWOBHM style metal with punk style beats and musical approaches. However, when one listen's to early metal classics like Deep Purple's Hard Lovin' Man from 1970...

Oh, and this one too: Yuri Fulone: In the Steel You Can Trust

Two new albums that I purchased recently and am enjoying currently are: Kobra and the Lotus: Self Titiled - I love this female fronted band! They're from my country here in Canada and I love their traditional/power metal style. Yuri Fulone: In the Steel You Can Trust - Once again this is great...

Some 2016 albums that I purchased and am really digging are: Hammerfall - Built To Last Exumer - The Raging Tides Sodom - Decision Day Destruction - Under Attack Artillery - Penalty By Perception.

I own March Of the Saint and Raising Fear. Found Delirious Nomad in the used CD shop and will pick it up when I can afford it, unless someone else buys it. My favourite song on March Of The Saint is Mutiny on the World and for Raising Fear, Saturday Night Special.

I'm really digging the band The Gates Of Slumber, love the feel to their songs.

Yes! love this album with wicked songs like The Poltergeist, Room 17 and they saved the best for last, which is To The Morgue, I love the raw Black Sabbath like feel and heaviness to that song.

I picked up this album at my local used CD store and I like it alot! Glad to see it was there.

Manowar is kind of one of those metal bands people either love, like or despise. I happen to love them! They play metal for metal's sake and their subject matter can be considered silly but they are dead serious about what they do. I would like to see them live, if they have any Canadian tour...
