Not quite as brutal, but still Manowar...

Review Score: (8/10)
The long awaited Manowar album has finally arrived. ... this is the very album die-hard fans have been salivating over.

After releasing two live albums between 96 and now, Warriors of the World is 45 minutes of bone crunching and triumphant symphonies. Many may view this as a toned down effort, with odd tributes (one most notably to a bunch of Elvis fans), the album still comes off as a typical concentrated effort from the Kings of Metal. Eric Adams sounds better than ever, and with such lyrics as "I'll hunt you down and tear you limb from limb" one can be sure that Manowar has not lost their edge.

There are, however a couple of surprises, like the famous operatic Nessun Dorma, and this is where Eric Adams truly shows his versatility in vocals. 6 year absence, two stellar live albums, and now this, Manowar truly show that they are Warriors of the World, fight for metal, metal that's real.
