“My relationship with MANOWAR’s music started at the age of 12 when I first listened to the song “Fighting The World” which it was the first metal song that I ever heard. Eric’s vocals, and the perfect combination of the bass, the guitar… the sound of drums… excited me and after this my life changed for ever.

I stopped listen pop music I figured out that it was so far away from me, I realized that I didn’t want to go with the “maze”. Then the years passed I’m 27 now and I still have the same passion for MANOWAR’s music.

Six months ago my family and I had some health problems my father got sick and I had to stand as a “rock” to my family because I am the only child with no brothers and sisters.. every night when I was coming back from the hospital I was listening to MANOWAR trying to get strength and courage in order to continue.

If I could tell which songs compose the soundtrack of my life, which still continues until my heart stop beating, I would say that it is “Heart Of Steel” and ” The Crown And The Ring”.

The ancient Greek Philosofer Platon said that “The music gives soul to the hearts and wings in mind”, this is how I feel every time I hear MANOWAR… you speak right in to my heart, my soul and mind.

Thank you for all those music years.

I wish you all the best, I love you guys and I send a kiss to all and each one of you Joey, Eric, Karl, Donnie as one of MANOWAR’s lady knows how to do it…

Also I would like to say that I’m so sorry for the passing of our brother Scott… R.I.P!

I hope to see you again really soon here in Greece! It would be an honor for me to publish my story at The Kingdom Of Steel.

With love – HAIL AND KILL!”

My name is Victor I’m a Brazilian fan of MANOWAR and will be a privilege to tell a little of my history with MANOWAR.

The first time I had a contact with MANOWAR was when I was 10 years old, I was in a old library where they sell books, comics, CDs and vinyls and I saw the art of ‘Louder Than Hell’ and as fan of heavy metal, Conan and the Ken Kelly art I bought the CD. For my surprise when I listen the first song ”Return of the warlord” this hit me like a punch in my face, I removed the CD when the first song finished and hid it, was like I found gold and was trying to protect it from everyone.
In that moment MANOWAR became my fav band and I know this will be for all my life.
