HERE IS THE OFFICIAL UPDATE.
The following update has been posted at MANOWAR's official website:
"Manowar will once again march into battle in the name of True Metal. This worldwide metal crusade will begin on June 2nd 2005 and will span the globe during 2005/2006. This is more than just a tour this will be the greatest metal assault ever! Italy's premier symphonic metal band RHAPSODY will make their debut performance in America as MANOWAR's special guests. Having achieved sales of more than 1 million records, known the world over for thrilling audiences with their unforgettable stage show as well as their very own style of Film Score Metal Rhapsody have elevated symphonic metal to unheard of extremes. With their newest release Symphony Of Enchanted Lands Part Two - The Dark Secret featuring legendary actor Christopher Lee as guest narrator, Rhapsody have risen to a new height in the world of metal and as the special guests of Manowar you can be sure that this will be everything fans expect from them and more. Joining the fight to make this a triple threat is the newest signing to Magic Circle Music, HOLYHELL. This Pandora's box of intense melodic power features the newest must hear voice in metal today Maria Breon. This is an all star band of master shredders featuring JOE STUMP The Shred Lord known worldwide for his power metal style of playing and writing, who will burn down one side of the stage while being joined by Tom Hess, Chicago's premier guitar demon who will unmercifully scorch the other side of the stage. Holyhell promises total metallic and melodic devastation with their brand of mystical, magical metal."
Confirmed North American Manowar, Rhapsody, Holyhell dates are as follows:
June

I'll be going for Rhapsody but I'll fully enjoy Manowar as well. Just need to grab some of their music, now. And does that third band listed have a female singer? Maria I usually think of as a female name but all those Europeans like messing with my perception of gender 
There may be future dates added. They don't even list anything west beyond Ohio so don't count out Chicago just yet.

Be still, O wand'rer!
Does anybody know what label Manowar are on in the USA? Neither Metal Blade or Nuclear Blast are taking ownership, and I just cannot determine which label they're on over here....help!

MANOWAR Inks Deal With SPV [Hot Flashes - 05.03.11 12:21:00]JayKeeley said:
The following update has been posted at the official MANOWAR website (www.manowar.com):
Magic Circle Music has signed an exclusive worldwide distribution deal for Manowar with SPV.
Magic Circle Music spokesman and Manowar management team member Hinrich Stuerken revealed that "With their professional attitude and international structure SPV won out over all the other major and independent record companies in negotiations that lasted more than a year.
Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio was quoted as saying "We are proud that our past with Nuclear Blast was a success that ultimately brought them their first gold record in their home territory of Germany, however since the formation of our own label Magic Circle Music, we have the very same level of responsibility to our artists and their fans as we do for Manowar and the Manowar fans, so it was absolutely necessary to find a company that could interface with our structure and would commit 100 percent of their support to us as well as to all Magic Circle bands".
Manowar are set to release their new single as well as their new DVD, Hell On Earth Part IV, in July of this year. The new Manowar album will then follow early 2006.
Manowar will also perform live with several other Magic Circle Music bands at the Earthshaker Fest 2005 in Geiselwind/Germany on July 23, 2005.
SPV president Manfred Schuetz commented, "my first working experience with Manowar began in 1985. SPV was the exclusive distribution partner for Roadrunner Records in Germany and as such was responsible for Manowar's album Hail To England and therefore marketed it successfully
20 years ago. I believe that signing Manowar will be the beginning of a longterm and fruitful pairing with the Kings Heavy Metal. This has been a true wish for two decades to continue this early collaboration on a higher level. Now with this current deal structure I am sure all of SPV's hopes and visions for a band like Manowar with their own label environment will come true.
The importance of Manowar for the whole scene, not only in Germany but in the other major-markets around the world is reason enough for me to be personally involved in all aspects of this great collaboration as it has been proven right in all of our past negotiations.
The most recent of which is the collaboration between Magic Circle Music and SPV with the outstanding success of Italian melodic-rockers RHAPSODY with Christopher Lee.
With two experienced teams working together this can only bring success!
To date Manowar have sold over 8 Million records.
Their latest album Warriors Of The World was released in 2002 achieving Top 5 chart positions worldwide (e.g. # 2 in Germany's Media Control Top 100 Charts) and has been certified gold.

Funniest tour EVER. All they need is Hammerfall in there.
I hope the encore is a battle to the death with war hammers and broadswords.
Oh yeah...only if they could show their true talent and throw some death growls in there! Maybe use some pentagrams on their cover art next time! Then they'd be true metal!!!!! :Smug:

I've got my ticket to the Winston-Salem show at Ziggy's!
if you don't see it coming to your town like brought up by someone in Chicago, it is probably due to the fact that someone doesn't want to take a chance and book it as the tickets for this show are HIGH as heck which most won't be willing to pay causing some people to go very much into the red.
In response to Sean's above comment. Actually, I only paid $33.00 total for the show, but I don't know if that would apply across the board or not. Anyway, Rhapsody doesn't come 2 1/2 hours away from Tennessee everyday, so I'd probably pay $50.00 to see them!

Now if they can just add Hammerfall to the bill, they'll crank out (wank out?) more cheese than all the dairy farms in Wisconsin.... Ughh. But of course, I'm going!
Sautherom
With Floor Jansen :)

there is possibility of more dates?
because all dates are in East Coast... nothing in Center or West Coast...

That's a good question! Fatesfan said they had a female lead singer. I think they're suppose to be in the traditional power metal vein.

I think it is a female singer based on the singers name. This is what I know:
Joining the fight to make this a triple threat is the newest signing to Magic Circle Music, HOLYHELL. This Pandora's box of intense melodic power features the newest must hear voice in metal today Maria Breon. This is an all star band of master shredders featuring JOE STUMP The Shred Lord known worldwide for his power metal style of playing and writing, who will burn down one side of the stage while being joined by Tom Hess, Chicago's premier guitar demon who will unmercifully scorch the other side of the stage. Holyhell promises total metallic and melodic devastation with their brand of mystical, magical metal."
