With just a few tickets remaining for their show at MHP Arena Ludwigsburg, Germany, on February 7, 2025, MANOWAR has added a second concert in the same location for February 6, 2025.

The “Blood Of Our Enemies Tour 2025” is a monumental celebration of metal and marks the 45th year since MANOWAR wrote music history by founding the genre aptly named Power Metal. The tour’s unique setlist will feature the full “Sign Of The Hammer” and “Hail To England” albums on alternating nights. Each night will further feature other iconic hymns from the band’s rich catalog, unleashed in their newest state-of-the-art production.

Tickets for the additional Ludwigsburg date will go on sale on Tuesday, March 12^th, 2024 at 10 AM CET on Eventim Germany, where tickets for all other German and Luxembourg dates are also available.

With the first Ludwigsburg show’s imminent sell-out, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their tickets.

Additional good news for young adults in Germany who are celebrating their 18^th birthday this year: Since March 1, 2024, they can register for the German “culture pass” (Kulturpass). This 100 Euro voucher can be used to purchase tickets for the MANOWAR Tour 2025 in Germany.

“Ludwigsburg is a legendary metal city full of Manowarriors. It’s fantastic that we can add another show, responding to the incredible demand from our fans!” said Joey De Maio. “We could not be happier. Now Ludwigsburg can prepare for two unforgettable, face-melting nights of true metal!”

MANOWAR is currently in the studio, recording “The Sign Of The Hammer 2024” in celebration of the album’s 40th anniversary this October and working on brand new music, scheduled for release in 2025.

In Deutsch:

Da Tickets für ihre Show in der MHP Arena Ludwigsburg am 7. Februar 2025 bereits nahezu ausverkauft sind, haben MANOWAR ihre 2025 Tour um ein weiteres Konzert am 6. Februar 2025 am selben Ort erweitert.

In an unprecedented display of skill and synchronicity, MANOWAR’s Joey De Maio and Michael Angelo Batio have shattered the world record for the fastest guitar and bass performance.

In a video published on YouTube, the two are seen playing increasingly fast scales in a combination of alternate and economy picking, culminating in 16 notes per beat (64^th-note passages) at a staggering 113 beats per minute, which equates to 30 notes per second.

Joey De Maio, an icon in the world of heavy metal bass playing, and Michael Angelo Batio, renowned for his ambidextrous guitar skills and record-breaking speed, have once again proven their status as true virtuosos. Their “need for speed” is not just a quest for technical prowess but a celebration of the limitless potential of human skill and creativity.

“We wanted to go beyond our established ‘Shred Zone’ and take it to a completely new level!” said Michael Angelo Batio. “We are now in the ‘Ultra Shred Zone’!”

Audio Engineer Dirk Kloiber explained: “You can find countless videos on the internet of people claiming to play a certain number of beats per minute (BPM). However, without a musical reference, this number alone doesn’t say much. The musical reference for Joey and Michael Angelo in our session is 4/4 time. A quarter note is divided into 16^th notes, so 64 notes per bar. At the record speed of 113 beats per minute, they play 30 notes per single second.”

This astounding feat marks not only a new pinnacle in speed playing but also a historic moment in music history, as it was accomplished by two performers at the same time. Previous records were held by solo artists, making this synchronized achievement even more remarkable.

MANOWAR, the founders of Power Metal, continue to be a leading force in the music world, inspiring artists and fans with their unyielding dedication to the art of music.

The band, which is currently in the studio to record “The Sign Of The Hammer 2024”, as well as another, yet-unnamed album, recently announced a sold-out show in New York in November 2024, and will be touring in Europe in 2025, with tickets already on sale for Germany and Luxembourg.

MANOWAR, the Kings of Metal, will return to the U.S. after 10 years with an exclusive show at Kings Theatre, Brooklyn, NY, on Saturday, November 30, 2024.

The standout event celebrates the 40th anniversary of the band’s 1984 album “Sign Of The Hammer” with a crushing setlist powered with immortal hymns from MANOWAR’s epic career.

“This will be the biggest production we’ve ever done in the U.S.! Our fans here will finally get the power and might that has made MANOWAR the headlining attraction the world over!” said Joey De Maio.

MANOWAR are currently in the studio recording “The Sign Of The Hammer 2024,” a re-recording of the 1984 success album that will give fans “the brutality from the first release,” as be band explained, blended with the inspiration fans have provided over the years, enhanced by the latest technology. They are also working on a new studio album scheduled for early 2025.

Due to the band’s schedule, the show at Kings Theatre, Brooklyn, will be MANOWAR’s ONLY show in the United States.

Tickets will go on sale on Wed, December 20, 2023, at 10 AM EST at Kings Theatre’s website.
