MANOWAR вперше виступлять в Україні!

Дворец Спорта

Ценители тяжелого рока однажды сказали о них: true metal! Они – самый мощный аргумент против тех, кто все еще сомневается: рок по-прежнему жив! 38 лет на сцене, 11 альбомов и сотни невероятных шоу. Manowar!

Живые классики power metal, где power – это буквальная сила и мощь. Не случайно американскую группу трижды заносили в Книгу рекордов Гиннесса как «Самый громкий концертный состав мира».

21 марта 2019 года. Дворец Спорта, Киев. Концерт, который навсегда останется в памяти. Прощальный концерт в рамках The FINAL BATTLE World Tour 2019. В эту ночь Manowar громко хлопнут дверью, прежде, чем уступить место на вершине рок-Олимпа своим многочисленным последователям.

Пронзительный вокал Эрика Адамса. Неистовые соло культового бас-гитариста Джоуи ДиМайо. Все знаковые хиты из легендарных альбомов – Into Glory Ride, Kings of Metal, Louder than Hell. Главное событие весны для всех поклонников истинного метала.

With their spectacular live show the kings of metal march towards Copenhagen in the spring.

Since the 80s American band MANOWAR have been defining the true metal genre with their heavy bombastic sound as well as their lyrics which revolve around magic and Nordic mythology. Next year  the metal pioneers will embark on their Final Battle World Tour, bringing true metal to Valby Hallen on April 1st.

“It’s been too long since we last played Copenhagen.” said Joey DeMaio. “The Danish Vikings have been with us since the very beginning; even Odin heard them singing during our last sold-out show there”

The last time the metal group played in Denmark was back in 2016, when they turned the SCC in Aarhus into a Greek temple and scored four out of six stars from GAFFA’s reviewer.

As the metal quartet has not released a new studio album since The Lord of Steel from 2012, the Danish Manowarriors will be looking forward to a show packed with fan favorites, which the bands loyal fan base has voted for.

Over the years MANOWAR has earned gold and platinum several times and in 1984 they won a Guinness record as the loudest band – April 1st will certainly not be an exception.

Tickets on sale now!

Joey DeMaio, leader of the American heavy metal band MANOWAR went on stage on Sunday night, on the closing night of Hellfest, with an announcement: his group will be in Clisson for his only and last concert in France. And prepare a new studio album … for 2019.

Five acts that will be in next year’s lineup were revealed Sunday, shortly before midnight, after the Iron Maiden concert: Manowar, Slayer, Hysteria Mass, Dropkick Murphys and Carcass. Each of them sent a video message to the crowd.

But, by the applause-meter, Manowar easily won the popularity vote. All for the best, since the 64-year-old bassist and co-founder Joey DeMaio came on stage to make the announcement in person, staying … true to himself: “Do you think you’ve seen metal? It’s really nothing next to what’s waiting for you. MANOWAR is coming back! “

Despite touring across Europe on a regular basis, MANOWAR stops very rarely in the Hexagon: just five concerts in 20 years. The event is therefore of major importance. It will also be the band’s only and last date in France.

Joey DeMaio gave an exclusive interview.

Your presence in France is very rare. Why have you been in Clisson tonight?

Joey: I’ve come here to announce that MANOWAR will return here in 2019, 10 years after our last show! That’s a promise we have made to our French fans and I needed to give them this surprise tonight.

This will be the only date in France?

Joey: Absolutely. And it will be amazing, massive. Our final show in France!

What memories do you have from your last visit at Hellfest in 2009?

Joey: The French fans of MANOWAR had been waiting so much for us that it was incredible. And, ten years later, this fervor is intact. When I see these people who approach us, by email, or on the social networks, to ask us to play in France, it’s really heartwarming. French fans have never let us down us. They have waited so long that we want to give them the show they deserve.

The festival has changed considerably since your last visit. He almost tripled in attendance. How do you find him today?

Joey: It has grown a lot and not only in terms of attendance. It is very nice to attend and observe. I think it’s one of the most elegant festivals in the world. Without doubt, the French touch …

Elegant?

Joey: Yes! Everything is well proportioned, neat to the maximum, with a particular attention to a lot of small details. Look at the decorations, the statues! We are walking among works of artists! I know it will surprise some people, but Hellfest shows that a metal festival can be a showcase of beauty.

That’s why you chose it to say goodbye in France?

Joey: Yes, it’s the best festival in my eyes. With an exceptional team: Ben Barbaud (founder), Olivier Garnier (press officer), technicians, volunteers … all do a great job and put a lot of heart into it.

For this last tour, fans can vote for the songs that will go into the setlist?

Joey: Exactly. We wanted to make this tour a little special, always honoring our fans.

There will be a surprise for France?

Joey: Obviously! But I do not say anything, otherwise it would not be a surprise!

The Final Battle Tour will really be your last tour?

Joey: Listen … we never said “never” to anything. But that’s how we feel it today.

Can you tell us more about your “Spoken Word Tour” that you run in parallel?

Joey: It’s very exciting! It’s a way of telling fans the story of MANOWAR. I have been wanting for years. I’m talking about myself, the life of the group, there will be also documents, photos taken during the recordings sessions, but throughout moments in our lives outside studios and concerts as well. In short, the story of MANOWAR as we lived it, in a very personal way.

It will only be in Germany next year?

Joey: Not at all. I would like to bring it to Hellfest, for example.You never know!

Does MANOWAR have other projects?

Joey: We are currently in the studio, we are working on a new record.

A re-recording of one of your classics?

Joey: No, a new album, coming out next year.

Excellent news for fans, since the last one dates back to 2012.

Joey: And yes, it’s another surprise for French fans!

Manowar, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Kiss …names on metal festival bills have 30 to 50 years of existence. Why is it that the new generations do not carry on at high performance level?

Joey: It’s another time. To impose oneself as a big group has become much more complicated for a whole bunch of reasons. The music industry has changed. The “legendary” groups are called MANOWAR, Priest, Kiss … that’s just the way it is.

Heavy metal “will never die,” you say. But who will take over?

Joey: Nobody can take over for MANOWAR! There is only one. Who succeeded Bach, Beethoven or Mozart? To each his own path.

Why not play more in France? Fans sometimes feel abandoned compared to Germans, for example …

Joey: Because, unlike in Germany, we had a lot of trouble with the sound levels that the venues want to impose on us. This has been going on for years and French fans are suffering, I know. But every time we play, we get hit because we play too loud. But let them be! We are not going to start playing with a ridiculously weak sound. We are MANOWAR, we are the strongest, we are the most powerful. And that’s why our public pays!

The “kings” of heavy metal

The “kings of metal”, nothing less. To speak of them, MANOWAR always had substance for the expression. This band, born in 1980 on the American East Coast, went through the decades with one goal: to defend and carry high the colors of heavy metal. And that’s no joke: in 1983, the members signed with their blood the contract with their record company …

Their trademark? Empowering and powerful music (the group entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1994 for having surpassed the 129dB in concert, and have repeatedly done “better” since), and a muscular, inspired by heroic fantasy. MANOWAR is also and above all the epic voice of singer Eric Adams and the Wagnerian compositions of Joey DeMaio, bassist and leader of the group, a true guru among the fans. Caricatural, for some. Worthy of worship, for others.

MANOWAR is performing in front of fan battalions around the world. In return, the group elevated their “Manowarriors” to the rank of fifth member of the band, regularly dedicating them songs. A kind of big family, with its rallying sign, the “hammer” (the left hand encircling the wrist of the right arm), raised high during the concerts, particularly during the Homeric sermons of Joey DeMaio. Confusing for the uninitiated …

Fans have been preparing the handkerchiefs, since the group has just begun its farewell tour. Unless…

Original article for our French speaking Manowarriors: https://bit.ly/2Khd93z

MANOWAR will fulfill their promise to the French Metal Warriors to return to France, as the headliners of Hellfest Open Air 2019 on June 21, 2019 in Clisson, France.

This will be MANOWAR’s final show in France; and it will exclusively feature songs their fans voted for.

Joey DeMaio announced the news to 65,000 fans during an on-stage appearance at this year’s festival and explained that MANOWAR’s performance next year will be a spectacle of might.

“We first played Hellfest in 2009 because the organizers love metal. Now, ten years later the festival has grown into a unique experience of sight and sound.” said Joey DeMaio. “This is the perfect place to fight THE FINAL BATTLE!”

This tour leg includes another first for MANOWAR and their Fans: MANOWAR will play in Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost settlement in the world! Longyearbyen is located in Svalbard, an archipelago in the arctic ocean, about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole!

“We are ready to return as promised to True Metal Viking territory! They are a hungry for bone crushing, face melting metal, and that is what we will deliver!” said Joey DeMaio. “We are also excited about our first gig in the arctic circle. A polar night there lasts from October to February. We are very sure people will be ready to party when we get there in April. This will be a special event for our fans, and for band and crew alike.”

THE FINAL BATTLE World Tour 2019 will feature FAN FAVORITES ONLY, with a set list based on a voting by MANOWAR’s loyal fans.

“The feedback on the fan voting was overwhelming! Fan Favorites Only!” said Joey DeMaio. “We are in the process of putting together an ass-kicking set that honors our fans and their wishes.”
