"Prepare to be thunderstruck by Manowar's eleventh studio album, The Lord of Steel, a relentless powerhouse of heavy metal that roars to life with the title track, setting the tone for the 55 minutes of unadulterated metal that follow. Released on October 19, 2012, via Magic Circle Entertainment, this album is a testament to Manowar's enduring legacy in the metal genre.
Kicking off with the epic "The Lord of Steel," the album doesn't let up with tracks like "Manowarriors" and "Born in a Grave," each song a battle cry that showcases the band's signature powerful vocals and crushing riffs. "Righteous Glory" and "Touch the Sky" offer moments of soaring melody amidst the storm, while "Black List" and "Expendable" deliver hard-hitting, aggressive anthems. The album also features the Spanish-flavored "El Gringo" and the crushing finale "The Kingdom of Steel," a fitting end to this metal odyssey.
For those seeking a slightly different experience, the Hammer Edition features a unique mix and artwork, crafted specially for the Metal Hammer Steel Edition. This version, released in 2012, includes 10 tracks and a duration of 47 minutes, offering a slightly different take on the original album.
The Lord of Steel is not just an album; it's a declaration of Manowar's unyielding spirit and their commitment to heavy metal. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the band's thunderous sound, this album is sure to leave you breathless and craving more. So, crank up the volume and let the steel reign!"
