About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On their anthemic mission statement "Kings of Metal" Manowar once again proclaim their metal superiority thusly: "Other bands play, Manowar kills." The twin sentiments of the group's metal mastery and the majesty of medieval heroism in battle are repeated on their sixth full-length release, Kings of Metal. There aren't too many surprises on the disc, with the possible exception of bassist Joey DeMaio's blinding 64th-note bass playing on a reworking of Russian classicist Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" entitled "Sting of the Bumblebee." Considered by some fans to be a classic of its own, the 1988 release has quite a few ballads, though speedier tracks like "Wheels of Fire" demonstrate the groups talents best. Besides their refreshingly totalistic loyalty to form, Manowar's most admirable trait is their prodigious metal musicianship. ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide All Music Guide

February 11, 2004: This album, in my opinion is what made ManowaR the greatest power band. They love the hard thrashy sounds and speed of the bumblebee really is outhere. Blood of the Kings is a favourite, forever.

April 09, 2003: This is the album that did it for me and now they are my favorite band. Heart of steal, best song for metal feeling and range in emotion. Hail and kill, enough said. This band represents honor, power and unity. In every album, this is a good starter.
