Manowar are a heavy metal band from New York, USA, founded in 1980. Fond of Vikings and insanely over-the-top Epic Rocking. They are the manliest band of all time. | |

In the Name of the Moon: "Sons of Odin", "Hand of Doom", "Gods of War" and "Call to Arms" could probably be sung just before a massacre. It is for this reason that their music tends to go extremely well with Warhammer 40000 and Warhammer Fantasy. | |

Distaff Counterpart: Swedish metal band Hysterica has sometimes been called "The all-female Manowar" due to their leather stage outfits, Heavy Meta lyrics, and sword & sorcery imagery. The band members themselves even admit to being heavily influenced by Manowar, and their debut album was even titled "Metalwar". | |

Horny Vikings: They were actually one of the first Heavy Metal bands to talk about the Vikings, and their lyrical styles ended up influencing a lot of Scandinavian musicians, and, in part, inspiring the European Viking Metal scene in general, alongside Heavy Load. | |

War Is Glorious: Several of their songs are about battles (usually medieval or fantastic instead of current) and how honorable it is to kill or die on the battlefield. However, "Shell Shock" on their debut album is a about a shell-shocked veteran struggling to adjust to normal life. | |

Epic Rocking: Songs surpassing the 6-minute mark is no big thing for Manowar, who favor "bigger is better" in all aspects of their work, but special mention goes to Triumph of Steel's "Achilles: Agony and Ecstasy (in Eight Parts)", which tops them all at over 28 minutes long. Shown Their Work: It goes into quite a bit of depth on The Iliad as it pertains to Achilles. | |

Spoken Word in Music: Defender has more words spoken than sung, and even the instrumental doesn't work up to full volume for a full minute into the song. | |

Manowar (Music) / int_8c1ad82f | comment |
Proud Warrior Race Guy: The protagonists of Manowar lyrics are often portrayed this way. This makes songs like Father, about a peaceful and kind family man, actually pretty jarring. Fairly in line with the band's Rated M for Manly attitude, though. Ask yourself, what's a manlier subject than the relationship between a father and his son? | |

Loudness War | |
Manowar (Music) / int_a6254a7a | comment |
Though, arguably, one could say that Manowar achieved true victory in any Loudness War back in the summer of 2005 when a show in Geiselwind managed to elicit a reading on the Richter Scale. No wonder they called the DVD The Day The Earth Shook. | |

Heavy Meta | |
Manowar (Music) / int_ab2f3f27 | comment |
Heavy Meta: "Metal Daze", "Gloves of Metal", "All Men Play on Ten", "Kings of Metal", Metal Warriors", "Brothers of Metal", "The Gods Made Heavy Metal" and "Die for Metal". In fact, the main focus of the band can basically be summed up as; "Heavy Metal is awesome". If the lyrics of a Manowar song aren't about Odin or glory in battle, it's a safe bet the song will be about how the awesomeness of heavy metal. | |

Album Title Drop: Curiously made in the previous album: the words "into glory ride" appear prominently in "Battle Hymn". The first stanza of "Blood of the Kings" on the Kings of Metal album is mostly a recitation of the band's previous five album titles. | |

Devil's Job Offer | |
Manowar (Music) / int_ebf8525f | comment |
Devil's Job Offer: The song "Dark Avenger" is the story of a man who was horribly wronged by local village elders, and eventually killed. When he enters Hades, the "Guardian of Lost Souls", (voiced by Orson Welles) offers him a job. The man is equipped with a magic blade which was forged in brimstone and tempered in the tears of the unavenged dead, as well as a pitch-black horse with flaming eyes to carry him back to Earth. The Guardian tells him to "seek payment, not only for thine own anguish, but vindicate the souls of the Unavenged". The song then is told from the Dark Avenger's perspective, which he mostly spends listing the fates of his targets. | |
