![]() No drawn out intro, no boring pace here, just guitar playing and the familiar Eric Adams screams. However, it does follow up with one of the better songs on the album ( Loki God of Fire). ![]() Even then, the song is repetitive beyond belief (nothing new for Manowar though). Although to hear the song on its own means listening to the minute intro every time, instead of placing the intro as its own track (ala NIME). Get used to that set of lyrics, because they get repeated multiple times throughout this album.Īs for what comes next, we get a tease of having yet another spoken word piece, it thankfully kicks into a real song about a minute in. Although if you’re expecting more fast-paced Manowar, you get slowed down by Army of the Dead Part 1, which goes on to pronounce the following. But much like the previous track, it’s a plodding number that tries to set the mood.īut after nearly nine minutes, we finally get a song that sounds like Manowar ( King of Kings) and it’s a damn good song at that. Once again, this is fine, if we didn’t get a six minute intro beforehand. So you figure “okay, that was a super long intro, we’re getting an actual song, right?” Wrong! We get yet another intro piece this time, being a spoken word piece. It plods along and sets the pace for the entire album. It reminds me of something that could have been of Rhapsody of Fire’s Symphony of the Enchanted Lands II but nowhere near as entertaining. A bold move, but a song that should have been cut to two minutes if you plan to do something like this. When starting this album, there’s no Blood of My Enemies, no Wheels of Fire, but a six minute intro ( Overture to the Hymn of the Immortal Warriors (what a mouthful.)) with no words to be spoken. Granted, they did release an English version of the booklet to download, but even then, why have a download of something that needs a translation on something that will barely get looked at? It comes off as minor league for a band that should be anything but. ![]() I wouldn’t be upset over this if this was a bandcamp/MP3 album only, but this was meant as a physical copy, so to do so comes off as stupid. Although this time, they wrote the entire thing in the Runic Alphabet. I’m sure 90% of the time, you don’t tend to care what’s inside as it’s usually just the lyrics, some special thanks, what they used to make the album etc. However, that may be the best part of the album, since the band had ideas for about six songs and decided to repeat them over and over again.īefore I get into that though, I have to point out the actual album booklet this comes with. ![]() Gods of War is no different, taking it more along the lines of Norse Mythology while still keeping the bombastic sound. They have also been known to do songs about lore and mythology. Whenever you see Manowar, you tend to think the music will be bombastic, over the top and about Metal and how the Gods approve of it.
