My name is Thomas. I am 43 years young and live in the beautiful city of Hamburg, Germany. MANOWAR is the most important band in my life, the greatest band ever, and this is why. 

MANOWAR makes the music I love. MANOWAR offers magic, majesty, honor, and a philosophy. It is a refuge.
I need MANOWAR. 

I was an insecure child with low self-esteem. In the 1990s, as a teenager, I saw a CD in a store: a warrior breaking free from his chains. I looked at the logo, the album title, and the song names, and I immediately knew this was something extraordinary. Epic. Majestic. Powerful. It represented the strength I wanted in my own life. 

I listened to Louder Than Hell, loud, and was completely blown away. I played it again and again, and soon I bought every MANOWAR album I could get. At that time, Louder Than Hell was my newest record. 

As I entered working life, the pressure increased. Friends disappeared after pointless conflicts. My girlfriend left. My job contract was not renewed. I felt deeply lonely and realized that I had lived with depression for a long time. I questioned everything about myself and knew I needed a new beginning. 

Then I met my wife. After some time, we started going to concerts together. One day I told her that MANOWAR makes the music I love most. She answered that she loved Warriors Of The World United. That moment meant everything to me. Since then, we attend as many MANOWAR concerts as we can, and I am happier than ever. 

Thanks to my wife, Joey, and MANOWAR, I was saved. 

There are countless MANOWAR songs that have helped me through life, including The Gods Made Heavy Metal, Return Of The Warlord, The Power, Hymn Of The Immortal Warriors, Glory Majesty Unity, Gods Of War, Sons Of Odin, Call To Arms, Hand Of Doom, Manowarriors, Hail And Kill, Today Is A Good Day To Die, Battle Hymn, Mountains, Swords In The Wind, and many more, as well as the Spoken Word tours Blood Of The Kings and Words Of Power. 

MANOWAR taught me how to develop a “don’t take nonsense” attitude when needed, something I never knew how to do before. MANOWAR became my shield wall. 

I learned to stand up for myself. I stopped giving in and started living by what felt right to me. When bullying crossed the line, I fought back with words and strength, and it worked. MANOWAR truly helped me find my voice. 

Over time, I understood the deeper meaning of Mountains: the struggles inside all of us, the importance of facing them every day, and the honor found in climbing them. MANOWAR encourages me to overcome obstacles, grow stronger, and become the best version of myself. The Faceless Warrior within us keeps us moving forward. 

Through MANOWAR, I learned the worth and honor of battle and self-acceptance. Louder Than Hell taught me a new truth: I walk in my own shoes. I can be proud of my scars, speak the truth, live meaningfully, and forgive. 

I love music that combines epic choirs, classical elements, warmth, power, and fierce metal. No one captures that balance like MANOWAR. Songs like Swords In The Wind, Defender, Gods Of War, and Hymn Of The Immortal Warriors prove how beautiful and majestic metal can be. 

Meeting Joey was mind-blowing. He welcomed us like old friends and shared wisdom that stayed with me, especially about the value of every job, no matter how small it seems. The Ultimate Fan Experience was unforgettable and deeply meaningful. 

Through Joey and MANOWAR, I learned how to believe in myself and gather courage. MANOWAR is the crown and the ring. 

Speaking with Joey at the UFE in Dortmund 2019 and during the Spoken Word Tour changed my life. When my wife and I met him, it felt like meeting a warm-hearted friend. We truly feel we have brothers in MANOWAR. 

Joey helps me prioritize, find trust in myself, and regain strength when I feel tired or insecure. His words of power help me conquer my mountain day by day. 

The concerts are overwhelming experiences. Our first shows were in 2016 and 2017. The Final Battle Tour in 2019 was unforgettable, with the Vikings on stage, the symbols, and the songs. In Birmingham on April 20th, Eric even laughed as I sang every word of The Gods Made Heavy Metal at the top of my lungs. 

At that time, I realized I could believe in something greater. MANOWAR ignited that belief. Faith has many forms, and inspired by MANOWAR, Joey, wisdom, science, and experience, I live by what feels true and meaningful. 

Moments like hearing The Fight For Freedom before Joey spoke during The Blood Of The Kings spoken word tour added even deeper meaning to that song for me. Listening to MANOWAR empowers me to fight for my own freedom. 

Meeting Joey in Hamburg was a great honor. I thanked him and told him how MANOWAR makes my life better, and seeing that my gratitude moved him is something I will always cherish. 

The interactions during the shows create lasting bonds. Eric recognizing us, Joey winking, and E.V. and Anders sharing smiles all meant a lot to us. One of the greatest moments was in Munich when Joey handed my wife a bass string from the stage. These moments mean everything to us. 

We followed MANOWAR across Germany, Norway, and England, and cherish memories from Dortmund, Munich, Bergen, and Birmingham. Seeing Joey, Eric, and the band smile back at us gives strength beyond words. 

In recent years, we also enjoyed the Fan Conventions and tours like Crushing The Enemies Of Metal and The Blood Of Our Enemies. The Sign Of The Hammer show in Kiel in February 2025 was phenomenal and powerful enough to carry me through very difficult times. 

MANOWAR helps me conquer challenges every day. I listen to MANOWAR daily. 

My wife and I are beyond excited for future tours and musical plans. MANOWAR’s music fuels the warrior within us, the one who lives for truth. 

Your songwriting, sound, lyrics, and inspiration make you the greatest band in the world. 

All power, love, health, and glory to you and your families.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you. 

HAIL GODS OF WAR!
HAIL MANOWAR!

MANOWARRIORS,

In 2025 battles were fought. New chapters were written in the book of our lives. đź“ś

When external forces threw obstacles in our path, we climbed mountains.
Every battle made us stronger.
Every struggle summoned the power that lives within us. đź’Ş
Every victory, big or small, prepared us for the greater triumphs that lie ahead.

That is what warriors do. We do not run from the fight.
We run to meet it. ⚔️

This year, we brought true metal and the MANOWAR spirit to new lands. 🌍 We reunited with Warriors around the world.
We welcomed new members in our Army Of Immortals!

We stood together – fists raised, voices united – and reminded the world what it means to live with passion, power, and fire in our hearts. 🔥

Together, we have built an invincible movement; a brotherhood and a way of life that transcends borders, languages, and generations.

MANOWAR is more than music.
We stand for values like honesty, loyalty, perseverance, integrity, and friendship.
Values that last forever.

Thank you all for a tremendous 2025.
Together, we march onward into an EPIC 2026!

Never forget that you are part of the greatest army in the world!
The Army Of Immortals.

Embrace the unknown.
Always stay true to yourself.

And remember to live a powerful life! ⚔️🔥

Check out immortal memories from our 2025 Tour – and don’t forget to commentđź’Ą

Hi, I’m Luca, 26, from Berlin, Germany – and one of the biggest MANOWAR fans since childhood.

I grew up in a home where music was always playing – and not just any music. My parents are true MANOWARRIORS, and every weekend I woke up to MANOWAR shaking the walls. That was their way of telling me breakfast was ready. While other kids woke up to cartoons, I woke up to guitars, drums, and powerful vocals.

That music shaped my soul and my taste. MANOWAR taught me the meaning of true metal – passion, strength, unity, and staying true to yourself. As a child I didn’t fully understand it, but those themes have become part of who I am.

My most unforgettable moment was seeing MANOWAR live in Germany with my parents. It was my first concert ever, and from the moment the band took the stage, I was completely blown away. The energy, the music, the crowd – it was unlike anything I had experienced before.

The whole MANOWAR community feels like one big family. No matter where you come from, there’s an instant connection among fans.

I’ve been to many concerts since that first one, each filled with great memories – and I know there are many more ahead. MANOWAR’s music has become a constant in my life, inspiring me and giving me strength for every battle I face.

Hail and kill!
Luca

I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa. I first heard MANOWAR in 1990, when I was 10 years old, on a mixtape a school friend recorded from a radio show. The song that struck me immediately was “Manowar,” and from that day on, the band’s sheer power – and Eric’s voice – changed my life tremendously.

To me, Battle Hymns is the greatest album of all time. Even after 35 years, it still gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes – that’s how true it is.

I’ve experienced the MANOWAR brotherhood not only at the shows but also in everyday life, meeting fans who share the same powerful love for the music – a bond that truly transcends everything.

My most memorable moment was flying to Germany for the 2008 Magic Circle Festival, where MANOWAR performed their first six albums in full. What an unforgettable experience!

Living in South Africa makes traveling to Europe difficult and expensive, but with determination and love for the band, I’ve still managed to see MANOWAR in Greece (1999, 2022) and Germany (2008, 2017)

HAIL FOREVER!

MANOWAR came into my life long ago with the SIGN OF THE HAMMER album …

For me, hearing metal music was like eating bread or drinking coffee. It was essential and it was my brother sticking with me through hard times. As a metal fan in the finance business, you are always the outlaw, and everybody laughs at you. And if you are into metal and have strong opinions about business, nobody lifts you up and you have to fight for each and every step to get further. So I made my own way, went to evening school and university to know things better than the others. Nothing comes easy to me. In all these years the music of MANOWAR was my Blood Brother.

In 2006, I had a stroke of late luck because at 40 years old I married my wife, and in 2019 she got her cancer diagnosis and died the same year, only a few months before the Covid plague. I had to face my mourning during the COVID lockdowns. Only my mother and the music of MANOWAR were on my side. In this time, I discovered very deeply the philosophy of MANOWAR and the Brotherhood, the deeper meaning of the songs, and tried to get stronger for the new challenges in life. For about a year now, I’ve had more intense contact with the Brotherhood on Facebook and a very beloved sister in Romania is now part of my life and I don’t want to miss it.

During the 2025 Tour, I attended MANOWAR concerts in Bamberg Germany, Tallinn, Iceland and London… I visited Bulgaria later that summer and went to the Kavarna area to see where the world record was set. A lot of locals shouted “WARRIORS OF THE WORLD” or made the Sign Of The Hammer. They are so into metal. You have to come back soon to the Black Sea.

We write daily in our community and hope for new concert dates to see our family members in other countries.

Until then, we give each other the strength to go on through this crazy world. Up the hammers and stay strong.

Brother Michael
