MANOWAR will release their new studio album, the ‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’ Silver Edition, as digital album first. The worldwide digital release is set for February 7, 2014, coinciding with the beginning of MANOWAR’s long-awaited U.S. tour, the kick off to the band’s new world tour.

The ‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’ Silver Edition CD, featuring 2 discs and two 24-page booklets will be released on February 28, 2014 in retail and at MANOWAR’s own online stores, www.thekingdomofsteel.com and www.thekingdomofsteel.eu. These stores will also offer special collector’s sets, not available anywhere else.

“We planned a simultaneous release for digital and physical, but we know that our fans don’t want to wait a moment longer than they have to. And what better timing than the beginning of our tour? Many times I would storm out of a show and want the music I just heard IMMEDIATELY,” explained Joey DeMaio “and thanks to digital albums, that’s what the fans can have now. I love it! It’s a great option for your instant craving for True Metal. As a true fan and collector you still always want the physical CD, too, but it’s great if you can have something right away.”

‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’ celebrates the 25th anniversary of the iconic classic with completely new recordings, that, thanks to the use of the latest technology and MANOWAR’s custom-made equipment, sound bigger and better than ever.

‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’, while staying true to the original, surprises with new arrangements, powerful drums by Donnie Hamzik, a searing new guitar sound by virtuoso Karl Logan, stellar vocal performances by Eric Adams and a new record-breaking performance of the bass solo “The Sting Of The Bumblebee MMXIV”, played at 300 beats per minute by Joey DeMaio.

“We have an amazing energy around us! Having accomplished what we were aiming for with this record – and more – we are ready for a killer tour with a production that is bigger than ever and different from everything we have ever done before, with a multi-media stage show, telling the story of ‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’ and other highlights, and so on… We are completely pumped!” said Joey DeMaio.

For their upcoming world tour, MANOWAR have enlisted a huge team of specialists from around the world to develop new stage visuals, provide the ultimate sound and create a true metal multimedia show that will bring their music, especially ‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’, to life in a way that it has never been presented before.

“This will be a completely new experience, even for fans that have celebrated our shows and listened to these songs many times before” promised Joey DeMaio “Get ready to get your heads blown off!”

MANOWAR’s new world tour, featuring the performance of the new ‘Kings Of Metal MMXIV’ album in full and many other classics starts on February 8, 2014 with a long-anticipated U.S. tour and will then resume on March 18 in Europe.
