(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

The self-appointed Kings of Metal have forgotten that the rest of the world has all but abandoned heavy metal, but they are in rare form with this album. As metal music goes this may be the funniest recod ever. With ridiculously heavy tracks like the never-ending Blackwind Fire and Steel, Manowar should call for a cease-fire in the war on poser metal bands they declared over a decade ago. Think about it: lyrics like "...my brother's still in Da Nang [Vietnam]; puttin an ad in the back of Kerrang!..." should bring your whole high school experience flooding back like the torrent of warriors thundering across the metal hillside in "Drums of Doom". Only Trent Nelson could truly understand a band whose best single to date has been "Kill with Power". If you haven't got this ALBUM, BUY IT NOW, before you are just too old to get the joke. EL JEFE
