AURA is the symphonic instrumental metal band of Korean guitarist, composer and arranger Song Wook and Bulgarian violinist Diana Boncheva. Their music combines the collosal sound of a full-sized orchestra, the intensity and technique of the electric guitar, and the striking, melodic, and powerful sound of the violin. A unique fusion that surprises the listener as the music unfolds.

“We see a passion and dedication in Song Wook and Diana that has always burned in us, too and that we believe is the reason of our lasting success.” said Joey DeMaio.

“We’re excited and honored about the opportunity to play our music to the MANOWAR fans.” said violinist Diana Boncheva. “We are ready to bring our music to Europe and this is a wonderful first step!”

AURA are currently recording their first single “AURA part I – NEW HOPE” that will also be
featured in their upcoming full-length album that is planned for release later this year.

Heavy metal band MANOWAR have announced the release of a new song dedicated to their loyal German fans, coinciding with the band’s return to Germany on their “Crushing The Enemies Of Metal Anniversary Tour 2023”“Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell”, (translating into “Loud And Hard Strong And Fast”) is an anthemic mid-tempo hymn in the vein of MANOWAR’s mega-hit “Warriors Of The World United”, that invites fans to sing along and raise their hands in celebration of their favorite genre and band. It is the first release since the band announced their new guitarist, shred legend Michael Angelo Batio.

Asked about the meaning of the song and title, MANOWAR bassist and songwriter Joey DeMaio explained: “We have the greatest and most passionate fans, all over the world, and we feel deeply honored because of it! This song is a statement to our fans, and to the world, to be proud of the things they care about, regardless what others say.”
 

The German version of the song, named after its catchy German chorus, will first be released digitally on February 10, 2023, on all major platforms and will be available during MANOWAR’s German tour. The retail release is scheduled for February 24, 2023.

“It is no secret that we have a special relationship with Germany,” said DeMaio. “Maybe because it is the birthplace of Richard Wagner, the father of heavy metal. The German fans took us into their hearts faster and in larger numbers than any other nation. They have stayed loyal to us for more than 40 years now! This release is our thank you! We will perform the song on these German shows, and film it, to share these special moments with the world!” 

An international edition of the song will be released later this year, along with more new music that DeMaio promised on social media will “shred, burn, crush, and kill like never before.”

“Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell“ will first be performed live on February 11, 2023, at Arena NĂĽrnberger Versicherung, NĂĽrnberg, the first of seven mostly sold-out arena shows in Germany, that will also be filmed with a 10+ camera crew.

Recorded in MANOWAR’s recently completed Asgard Studios New York in immersive sound and written and produced by Joey DeMaio, the much anticipated new music features founding members, vocalist Eric Adams and bassist Joey DeMaio as well as guitarist Michael Angelo Batio, and Dave Chedrick on drums.

IN DEUTSCH:

MANOWAR veröffentlichen neuen Song, “Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell”, eine Verbeugung an ihre treuen deutschen Fans

Pünktlich zum Start ihrer Deutschland Tour veröffentlichen die Heavy-Metal-Ikonen MANOWAR ein musikalisches „Danke!“ an ihre deutschen Fans für über 40 Jahre Treue und Unterstützung.

“Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell” ist eine mitreissende Mid-Tempo Hymne im Stil des MANOWAR Mega Hits „Warriors Of The World United“, der Fans einlädt, mitzusingen und Heavy Metal und ihre Lieblingsband zu feiern. Es ist die erste Veröffentlichung seit die Band den Beitritt von Gitarren-Legende Michael Angelo Batio bekannt gab.

Auf die Bedeutung des Songs und Titels angesprochen, erklärte MANOWAR Bassist und Songwriter Joey DeMaio: “Wir haben die besten und leidenschaftlichsten Fans, ĂĽberall auf der Welt und wir fĂĽhlen uns davon tief geehrt! Dieser Song ist ein Statement an unsere Fans und an die Welt, stolz zu sein auf die Dinge, die ihnen wichtig sind, egal was andere dazu sagen.“

„Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell“ benannt nach dem eingängigen, für die deutschen Fans verfassten Chorus, wird am 10. Februar 2023 auf den wichtigsten digitalen Plattformen veröffentlicht und wird während MANOWARs Deutschland-Tour erhältlich sein. Die Veröffentlichung im Einzelhandel ist für den 24. Februar 2023 terminiert.

„Es ist kein Geheimnis, dass wir eine besondere Beziehung zu Deutschland haben”, sagte DeMaio. “Vielleicht weil es der Geburtsort von Richard Wagner ist, dem Vater des Heavy Metal. Die deutschen Fans nahmen uns schneller und in größeren Zahlen in ihre Herzen auf als jede andere Nation. Sie halten seit mehr als 40 Jahren loyal zu uns! Diese Veröffentlichung ist unser Dankeschön! Wir werden den Song auf unseren deutschen Konzerte auffĂĽhren und auch filmen, um diese besonderen Momente dann mit der Welt zu teilen!“

Eine internationale Version wird später im Jahr veröffentlicht, zusammen mit weiterer neuer Musik.
DeMaio kündigte dazu auf den sozialen Netzwerken an: „It will shred, burn, crush, and kill like never before.”

„Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell“ wird am 11. Februar 2023 in der Arena Nürnberger Versicherung, Nürnberg erstmals live gespielt, dem ersten von sieben vielfach ausverkauften Arena Konzerten in Deutschland; ein Auftritt der auch mit über 10 Kameras gefilmt wird.

Aufgenommen wurde „Laut Und Hart Stark Und Schnell“ mit Sänger Eric Adams und Joey DeMaio (Bass), Gitarrist Michael Angelo Batio und Dave Chedrick (Drums) im immersivem Sound in MANOWARs kĂĽrzlich fertig gestellten Asgard Studios New York; geschrieben und produziert von Joey DeMaio.
