There's simply no denying the following fact: Manowar makes awesome crunchy power metal."Fighting the world every single day / Fighting the world for the right to play / Heavy Metal in my brain / I'm fighting for Metal 'cause it's here to stay!" - That's how this album starts off, and it's pretty much how it continues for the next 8 songs thereafter. "Fighting the World" was the song back in '87 that made me love these guys, and the resurgent power metal scene going on now made me go buy this disc and learn to love them all over again. Sure, they're image and lyrical content are silly to the point of dopiness, but who cares? With summer right around the corner, this album SHOULD be blaring from speakers everywhere! "Carry On, "Violence & Bloodshed," and "Black Wind, Fire & Steel" all rock to the point of bringing on the whiplash danger zone, and "Defender is a strong power ballad tune all about, you guessed it: defending all that is true metal. There's nothing out of the ordinary here. If you already like Manowar and their classic metal sound, you simply must have this album. If you don't, you probably didn't make it this far into the review. Get this.
