This, Manowars third album, is better than Into Glory Ride, but Manowar still seems to be struggling to find their place in the metal scene. With songs pertaining to Satanism, they come across like any other band of the time. Still, I actually liked Bridge of Death, minus the silly Satan thing. For me, Manowar will always be about battle, conflict and victory. And this albums first song, Blood of my Enemies shows what Manowar is really capable of (even though it still pales in comparison to songs from Kings of Metal and on). The rest of the album comes across as much of an extension of Into Glory Ride. Rushed, chaotic songs that sound horrible. There is no power, no majesty to these songs, and while it is most likely worth listening to just to hear Eric Adams vocals, if you're not a die hard Manowar fan like me who has to have every single recording, don't bother with this... Get Kings of Metal or Triumph of Steel.
