I was in 7th or 8th grade when I first heard this album, and I must say it was all I listened to back then. It was truly amazing the way a metal band could combine the elements they did. How many metal bands at that time (or now) could display an utter mastery of their instruments (and voice), meld that with great compositions and the right "attitude" and lyrics? Well, Manowar sure as heck could! This album is already a classic! A lot of people might think the imagery in the lyrics, or the compositions are a little overly melodramatic but this was a truly new music that Manowar was performing. Many people talk of the freshness of a certian jazz artists music, or a pop artist with a new image or sound. Well, Manowar was all that in this release! Who cares who's the fastest guitarist, flashiest frontman, in the pocket bassist, or the most thunderous drummer! Do yourself a favor and buy this disc!
