MANOWAR Unleash The Lord Of Steel - World Tour - Leg 1 - Official Trailer

The release of MANOWAR's twelfth studio album, The Lord Of Steel, originally scheduled for September 28 will now hit the stores on October 19, 2012 on CD, limited-edition picture vinyl and as digital album.

The retail edition of the album, that was pre-released in a strictly limited 'Hammer Edition' earlier this year, will feature a 24 page booklet, an opulent new illustration by fantasy artist Ken Kelly, a brand new song titled 'The Kingdom Of Steel', entirely different mixes and many new arrangements compared to the limited pre-release; making both editions completely unique and special.
"It will feel like you experienced The Lord Of Steel for the first time!" said Joey DeMaio.

The album will be available as CD, limited-edition picture vinyl and digital album.
The CD will also be available on the upcoming The Lord Of Steel World Tour during which MANOWAR will perform some of the new material for the first time live, and will also introduce their brand new stage production.
"We can't wait to unleash The Lord Of Steel live. It's going to be massive!" said Eric Adams.
Described by the press as "a brutal and unstoppable force of molten metal" and "flawlessly heavy" The Lord Of Steel is a raw-to-the-bone production, merging vintage elements with the trademark sound MANOWAR have developed over the years.

"When you have to make room for literally hundreds of other instruments such as Orchestras, Choirs, Marching Armies on Gods Of War for example, you have to create sonic space for that. The fewer instruments you have the louder they can be individually. As an artist you want to give your audience new experiences. This is not 'elevator music'. This is an album that hits you hard right between the eyes and does not let up." said Joey DeMaio.
From the furious title track and the pumping 'Black List', to the power ballad 'Righteous Glory' and the Ennio Morricone homage 'El Gringo': The Lord Of Steel is full of surprises.
