The Metal Legends Return

Review Score: (8/10)
Good to hear MANOWAR back in action after an agonizing wait. WARRIORS OF THE WORLD is a cool disc with lots of inspiring metal anthems & classy arrangements...in particular, (The Ultimate) Singer Eric Adams really stands out on the operatic ballad NESSUN DORMA...and when you thought the CD was ALL anthems & ballads, the band shreds through a trio of fast, blistering death-metal attacks: HAND OF DOOM, HOUSE OF DEATH and FIGHT UNTIL WE DIE. Manowar prove once again they are the most talented musicians in all of heavy metal. If there's a flaw, it's in Joey DeMaio's rather cliched lyrics--even the most battle-hardened Manowar fan (me) wants to hear something new once in a while besides KILLKILLDIEDIE. This CD blows LOUDER THAN HELL off the map, but falls bit shorter than the heights of TRIUMPH OF STEEL or SIGN OF THE HAMMER. Still a good value though.
