\nThis will be the fulfillment of MANOWAR\u2019s promise made 10 years ago to return to Italy in triumph.
\n
\n\u201cThe Italian fans have won; their belief, shown by their non acceptance of false metal is the reason we will finally return.\u201d said Joey DeMaio after the announcement. \u201cThere was no compromise on our part and on the part of our loyal fans and there never will be.
\n
\nThere was a war between promoters as to who would bring MANOWAR back to Italy to give the fans what they want and Gods Of Metal won.\u201d
\n
\n\u201cMANOWAR have a strong and loyal following in Italy and all over the world. This will be MANOWAR\u2019s fourth headlining appearance at Gods Of Metal; no other band has ever done that! 2012 is the celebration of 15 years of GODS OF METAL and the festival is like a home to MANOWAR and we are once again proud to bring the band back to Italy\u201d said Andrea Pieroni, promoter.
\n
\n\u201cWe played our last festival in Italy in 2002 and we promised we would not return until we could give our fans what they deserve and this year that promise will be fulfilled. We vow to crack the earth with power and might,\u201d said Joey DeMaio. \u201cThis will be a show which no true metal warrior will want to miss. We are calling all Manowarriors not only from Italy, but from all over the world to join us for earth-shattering, face-melting metal.\u201d continued DeMaio.
\n
\n\u201cThe voices of the Italian fans cannot be silenced, their voices have finally been heard. Other countries will take heed and your voices will be the reason MANOWAR will appear in your country next!\u201d explained DeMaio.
\n
\n\u201cThere will be more news and surprises to be announced!\u201d promised DeMaio and added: \u201cCheck out our Facebook page http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/manowar<\/a> for constant updates!\u201d
