Yngwie's chubby, but not fat. And he's not in Symphony X. Yngwie's just an arrogant, amazing cock.

Happy Fockin Birthday, Tuovila!

I just realized something. After listening to Warriors of the World/Dawn of Battle (I have both burned onto the same disc), new Manowar is very heavy metal influxed, well, VIKING METAL!! I mean, a LOT of their new lyrics are about vikings and battle. And their new GIANT use of keyboards and symphonies and choirs behind them make them sound much more passionate. The songs are MUCH darker and have much more serious lyrical themes, completely eschewing the old heavy metal themed lyrics. Plus the 2 symphonic tracks sound straight out of Wagner. I suggest you all get both Dawn of Battle and Warriors of the World.

Only advisory: Ignore Fight For Freedom and The American Trilogy.

Thanks for the heads up, Ghoul...

but Warriors Of The World was the first Manowar album I got, and it definitly kicks some MAJOR ass. Other than that one, all I have is Hail To England.

So, the next one I will get is Dawn of Battle then, any other reccomendations?

"Brothers Everywhere
Raise You Hands Into Ther Air
WE'RE WARRIORS!
WARRIORS OF THE WORLD!

Like Thunder From The Sky
Sworn To Fight and DIE!
WE'RE WARRIORS!
WARRIORS OF THE WORLD!"

uhm... Manowar is more like the school example of typical heavy metal... always been actually :/

I agree.

Ghoul, I don't think that lyrical themes can determine musical styles. People often call Amon Amarth "Viking Metal" just because of their lyrical themes. Even when you listen to them, you feel like being right in the middle of a viking battle, but it's still Death/Melodeath Metal.

and I don't think Warriors of the World sounds like Viking Metal at all, yes, the songs are more epic and darker than before, but it's still Heavy Metal.

FUCK! My bands consert is canceled. That bloody asshole principal just said:"no"

I mean! Whatta fuck?! He said no,only cuz he hate metal-music. Damn,I'll kick his ass!

Me and my thrash metal band have a gig at our schools annual concert in august where we have the jazz band playing and shit,we told the teacher we play blues and pop.If you told the teacher straight up that you play metal you're an idiot.

And yeah,kick his ass.

happened to me too... might've been because of the fact that half my band was expelled though :P

To coincide with out headliner on June 10th, we're hopefully releasing an EP or CD...depending on how much we can write in that time.

Anyhow, here's the first four tracks available for your listening pleasure:
BLOWTORCH ABORTION

Songs are:
-Rebury those faggot miners
-Chuck Norris with AIDS (can't post proper title or lyrics for legal reasons)
-Princess Margaret Holocaust
-Beating women (makes my cock hard)

Enjoy.

Hey i love metal and im a metal guitarist for a band....
im punkboyben because i used to be into punk rock but soon changed my ways and saw the light to metal
Favorite bands:
Trivium
Fear factory
Slipknot
Disturbed
Rammstein

and the ultimate metal band...
METALICA!

Lawl. I got into an argument today with a friend. Me and another friend were discussing this Rock Concert going on at college, and cause the prize is £600 you have to write your own songs to play. So he way saying how his band haven't wrote anything, and I was saying how I've wrote quite a few songs (although I can't enter cause I don't have a band). Anyway, he jokes and says I should come to one of his practices and teach his band some of my songs. And being that I'm a metal guitarist I tell him that his guitarist wouldn't be able to play my songs (cause he's plain crap, he can't hardly play basic rock nevermind the thrashy stuff I'm influenced by).

At that point his girlfriend comes up to me and tells me that Metal isn't GENERALLY more technically difficult than rock, so I lol'd at her ignorance. I should have slapped her with a nice big dose of John Petrucci and Dave Mustaine.

Perhaps you'd be better fit for the nu-metal/metalcore crew, my friend. The link is in my sig.

You should temporarily join your friends band as guitarist just for that show. If they win you can claim a share of the money!

No... but hey, that's just me.

Everyone has to take two big steps before they become a real metalhead, the first one you've taken, from punk to Nu-Metal.... you will pass the third and become one of us when you start your path down real metal.

I'll feign interest in hopes I'll like it. I have three questions:

1. Is it typical grindcore/deathgrind?
2. What instrument are you again?
3. How long is it?

Anywho, in the interest of regaining a possible friendship (I don't burn bridges) I'll take a gander at it.

Speaking of tracklists, I have the lyrics done for my next solo release. The songs I'm still writing, will record some time in june as soon as Asgarður finishes recording. The tracklist is quite simple; it's gonna be a 30 some odd minute EP:

1. The beginning
2. The end.

The title of this release is yet to be decided.

I agree.

I don't. Listen to Fighting the World, then listen to this. Until you've listened to it, don't slam it. Hell, listen to Louder than Hell then listen to Warriors of the World.

Ghoul, I don't think that lyrical themes can determine musical styles. People often call Amon Amarth "Viking Metal" just because of their lyrical themes. Even when you listen to them, you feel like being right in the middle of a viking battle, but it's still Death/Melodeath Metal.

Ya, I agree. I was referring more to the 3 symphonic tracks, the use of acoustic guitars, the wagnerian choruses, the total fucking "This isn't Manowar" sound. It really doesn't sound like Manowar at all, save for the vocals.

and I don't think Warriors of the World sounds like Viking Metal at all, yes, the songs are more epic and darker than before, but it's still Heavy Metal.

I humbly disagree. Sure, it's not Viking BLACK metal, but if Bathory is viking metal, so is this. It's epic-er and darker than Bathory's Twilight of the Gods, so I'd say Manowar have entered Viking metal. Trust me, as your local Manowar expert (I have Fighting the World, Kings of Metal, Triumph of Steel, Warriors of the World, bits of Sign of the Hammer, bits of Hail to England, bits of Into Glory Ride, and bits of Battle Hymns.) Trust me on this one, this release DEFINITELY stands out among the rest. It's thousands times more epic. Viking metal isn't a genre, either. WotW is a new genre, then: Viking heavy metal, if not for Swords in the Wind alone.

Guitars and some vocals

Collectively...just over 2 minutes.

Radical.

Kay, how about this question.
Do you think that band have the ability to play metal?

In other [minor] news, I learnt Kataklysm's Like Angels Weeping (The Dark)... I love it, its shit fast.
