Biography

MANOWARÂŽs influence in the Rock Music industry is undeniable.

During their impressive career they have left their mark in the Heavy Metal genre thanks to a combination of unique craftsmanship and characteristic songwriting. With unrivaled conviction, persistence, and the courage to unflinchingly pursue their own way, the band has weathered even the most unconquerable challenges. In an age of casting show “talents” and flimsy one-hit-wonders this band gives their fans what they love them for: the massive, powerful soundtrack of their lives, songs that celebrate the audacity of the individual and the spirit of the community.

The band has earned numerous gold and platinum awards and completed more than 35 tours headlining venues that have averaged between 10,000 and 50,000 sold-out seats.

MANOWAR’s unparalleled loyal following all over the world is reflected in their live events. For example, fans from more than 40 nations traveled to celebrate the Magic Circle Festival in Germany. As a tribute to their devoted international following, MANOWAR’s 2009 release‚ “Thunder In The Sky” achieved another first in Heavy Metal history by recording the power ballad, “Father”, in 18 different languages (and counting).

In 2012, MANOWAR presented their twelfth studio album, “The Lord Of Steel”, that was described by the press as “a brutal and unstoppable force of molten metal”, followed by‚ “The Lord Of Steel Live”, a live EP celebrating highlights of, “The Lord Of Steel” World Tour in 2012 and 2013.

The “Kings Of Metal MMXIV” Silver Edition, a completely new recording of the bestselling award winner, “Kings Of Metal” was released as limited 2-Disc CD on March 21, 2014 in retail, www.thekingdomfosteel.com and www.thekingdomofsteel.eu and is available as a digital double album on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play worldwide.

Throughout their legendary career, the members of MANOWAR have not only overcome each and every obstacle lain in their paths, they have consistently been innovators.
