Hmmm. Like Hammerfall, Manowar seem have forgotten to add a UK date to their forthcoming tour. Perhaps it slipped their mind...
sounds a bit like how their new album works, a few heavy songs at the beginning and end with a great big mellow patch in the middle. Doesn't work for me, sadly. Was one of them acoustic songs Master Of The Wind? Regardless of anything else, I think that song is beautiful and would love to hear it anywhere in a set
That doesn't entirely surprise me. For a long time, if pushed to choose my favourite band, it would have been Manowar. But not only is their latest album not as good as previous efforts, it's actively weak. It's easily the worst thing they've ever recorded, so while I'd like to have seen a UK date on the tour, I'm not as disappointed as I might have been. The first time I saw them, at Hammersmith Odeon (as it still was in those days) probably ranks in the top three concerts I've seen in my life. But given how poor "Warriors of the world" was, I can't see them being able to reproduce such a stunning live experience these days.
) and probably made my top 6 gigs for the year (top 6 is very good)
