Manowar have once again placed full in the stuff and that's not to be missed! The two live songs "The Ascension" and "King Of Kings", which are already known as Studio versions can convince with a good sound and particularly Eric's voice in the quiet part is fun and reminiscent in part to "Gates Of Valhalla" !! !
Then times to the 3 new songs ...
"Odin" is a classic instrumental piece that convinces with a lot of detailed work and a good charging power. I like it better than the persönölich WotW Instrumentals "The March" and "Valhalla". It makes the epic proportions clearly the "The Sons Of Odin" expect with "Gods Of War" and!
"Gods Of War" then is the first song with accompaniment of singing. A real Stampfer, in the manner of "Warriors Of The World", epic and orchestral only accentuated. The chorus leaves goosebumps ... But I do not want to give too much = yes) Eric's voice could not be better. The song structure is also with older disks, such as. compare the "Into Glory Ride" and offers quiet and rule more ideal Parts.
"The Sons Of Odin" can most knock your socks off me personally. Heavy riffs initiate the song that moves mainly mid-paced, but also quiet as schenlle Parts aufweißt. Vocally here again a feat Eric Adams. The lyrics deal with the Nordic / Germanic Mytholgie as the title of the song does indeed already clear. Karl Logan prescht a solid guitar solo and the interaction of all instruments is breathtaking. The chorus leaves no goosebumps from here too ...
Brothers, the long wait was worth it! Manowar are return to the battle, more powerful than before. All fans of the old and new albums come here to 100% of their cost. Who ordered the Immortal Edition additionally get a second DVD with the documentation of Fanconvention 2005 a trailer for the legendary appearance on Earthshaker, as well as a sample of the song "Heart Of Steel" in the Czech Republic!
One can only say ...
HAIL GODS OF WAR! HAIL MANOWAR!
