Manowar - Hail to England

[JayKeeley]

Discuss. *opens Pandoras Box*

P.S. We talk about Bathory influenced by Manowar? Heh, listen to "Bridge of Death". The atmosphere, that mid-paced simple riffing tempo, it's all very Bathory-esque.

And here are some lyrics:

Dark Lord, I summon thee demanding the
sacred right to burn in hell, ride up to Hell's
hot wind.
Face one more evil than thou, take
My lustful soul, Drink my blood as I drink yours,
impale me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil, Lucifer is king
Praise Satan!!

Where are Manowar from? I assume somewhere on Earth, but I'm not entirely sure.

 

[JayKeeley]

I think it's NY!!

The HUGE influence on Bathory is the riff on the title track's chorus. Its the basis of almost all the riffs in the Viking era of Bathory.
And "Hail To England" is A FUCKING MASTERPIECE

It's true! I heard it and I thought, "Aha! So this is what Quorthon was referring to..."

"Blood of My Enemies" is a great song, I used to love the Edge of Sanity cover of it, Swano's voice sounded cool on that one.

 

[JayKeeley]

Something strange about Manowar - their music works great when covered....

 

[Demilich]

Actually, I think I'd still take Swano over Eric Adams on this song.

 

[KILL TULLY]

i dunno what song it is, but probobly one of the ones mentioned, but bathory has a song that is EXACTLY like a ManOwaR song, not a little bit like it...EXACTLY THE SAME RIFF, it was creepydeepy

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Yep this is one of the few GREAT recent topics here, Manowar, Demilich listening to DREAMS OF ESCHATON.. sweet.
Jaykeelay you should try "Mountains" performed by Angra.. you'll love it.

 

[JayKeeley]

Is there a list somewhere that highlights which Manowar songs have been covered by other metal bands? The ones I know so far are:

Arch Enemy - Kill with Power (fucking awesome!!)
Slough Feg - Fasttaker
Solstice - Gloves of Metal

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I heard that Arch Enemy cover is brilliant...

I love Manowar, btw

 

[JayKeeley]

[Hell Mike]

Edge of Sanity - Blood of my Enemies
Kjell Peders - Fighing the World

Isn't it one from Blood On Ice? The Sword or something?

I love Hail To England. Especially the title track, it's a great compliment The rest of the album took awhile to grow on me but grow on me it did...

My friend's brother is a huge Manowar fan. Usually, people in the street make fun of him when they see him in his Manowar shirt. But one time, a car slowed down next to him and the driver gave him some candy - "...because you have the guts to wear a Manowar shirt in public."

 

[JayKeeley]

Manowar are gods in Germany. Them and David Hasslehoff.

I've had that promo sitting in front of my computer for like 3 months, since when you originally asked me to do just that. Here ya go, finally.
