Only Heavy Metal

La gira 'The Lord Of Steel World Tour' se caracterizará por un repertorio muy completo. Se incluirán nuevas canciones, temas para celebrar el décimo aniversario de 'Warriors Of The World' y muchos otros clásicos de Manowar.

Following their recent movie debut with the title song for the action-western "El Gringo", MANOWAR have confirmed their next soundtrack project, "Soldiers", starring action icon Jean Claude Van Damme.

Van Damme, who is Sylvester Stallone's co-star as an arch villain in "Expendables 2", said about the collaboration, "I met with Joey DeMaio and explained my vision for the entire soundtrack. He will be writing original score as well as bringing MANOWAR songs to the movie."

Produced by Hollywood veteran and long-term Van Damme collaborator, action specialist Moshe Diamant ('The Black Dahlia", "Hard Target", "Sudden Death"), "Soldiers" follows Van Damme on an action-packed quest for righteousness, retribution and resurrection.

"Joey DeMaio has the musical ability to write fighting hymns, soulful ballads and deeply emotional scores," said producer Moshe Diamant.

"We've always had a passion for movies, especially those that celebrate the values that matter for us: righteousness, honor, bravery. Contributing musically to such stories, and working with some of the greatest action heroes in cinema history is an honor and a pleasure. We are ready to deliver a powerful soundtrack to this really great movie," said Joey DeMaio.

"Siempre hemos tenido pasión por el cine, especialmente el que celebra los valores que nos importan: La justicia, el honor, la valentía. Contribuir musicalmente a historias de este tipo, y trabajar con algunos de los más grandes héroes de acción en la historia del cine es un honor y un placer. Estamos listos para ofrecer una banda sonora de gran alcance para esta película realmente grande ", dijo Joey DeMaio.

Vale. La nueva sintonía del PP ya se quien la va a componer...

MANOWAR's New Studio Album, The Lord Of Steel, Will Be Released Into Worldwide Retail On September 28, 2012
Thursday - August 16, 2012

MANOWAR's new studio album, The Lord Of Steel, will be released into worldwide retail on September 28, 2012 (dates may vary from territory to territory), following a limited-edition pre-release as the 'Hammer Edition' in collaboration with Metal Hammer (UK).

The retail edition of The Lord Of Steel will feature different mixes and mastering, spectacular new art by fantasy artist Ken Kelly, and other surprises. The album will be available as CD, limited-edition vinyl and digital album.

"MANOWAR have always dared to do things differently. You have to look at these two versions like a movie that comes out in alternate versions; a Director's Cut or alternate endings or stories even told from different perspectives." explained bassist Joey DeMaio. "For those of you who enjoyed the first taste of The Lord Of Steel, meaning the Metal Hammer version, I can tell you that the forthcoming Lord Of Steel release on Magic Circle Entertainment will be even more unique and yes, more brutal." he continued.

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.

For their twelfth studio album MANOWAR have tapped into the world of action heroes and their stories, writing their first song specifically for a Hollywood movie, 'EL GRINGO' and another one, Expendable, inspired by Sylvester Stallone's action movie franchise 'The Expendables'. The band has meanwhile confirmed their next movie project, 'Soldiers', for 'The Expendables 2' star Jean-Claude Van Damme.

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.

The Lord Of Steel (Retail Edition) will be mixed and mastered by long-time collaborators mixing engineer Ronald Prent and two-time Grammy award-winning mastering engineer Darcy Proper.
