\nMANOWAR\u2019s Kings Of Metal album, a milestone in metal history, was first released on November 18, 1988.<\/p>\n
Already a significant force with international success since their debut album Battle Hymns, this release and the following 1989 Kings Of Metal world tour catapulted Manowar to a new sphere. Songs like Heart Of Steel, Kings Of Metal, Hail And Kill and Blood Of The Kings became instant anthems and remain among the most demanded songs in concerts, celebrated not only by Manowar fans.<\/p>\n
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Kings Of Metal, Manowar are currently in the studio, recording a brand new special version of the album: Kings Of Metal 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new rendition will honor the original as it\u2019s inspiration, but with additional energy, fully utilizing the power of today\u2019s technology and 25 years of experience, and it will contain new arrangements and changes that incorporate live performance elements added over the years,\u201d said Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio. \u201cThe album will feature additional bonus material and many other surprises,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The new recording is only one component of the Kings Of Metal 2014 anniversary celebration.<\/p>\n
For this special occasion, Manowar will also open their vaults and reveal never-before-seen video footage, photos, behind-the-scene interviews and insight into the history of Manowar and the Kings Of Metal-era.<\/p>\n
For the new narration on \u2018The Warrior\u2019s Prayer\u2019 the band will be joined by celebrated British actor Brian Blessed (Henry V, Macbeth). Mr. Blessed is a renowned Shakespeare and character actor who has starred, among others, in Kenneth Brannagh\u2019s Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing, in King Lear and Oliver Stone\u2019s Alexander. Brian also has an affinity with heavy metal music. In June 2013 he received the Spirit of Hammer Award at Metal Hammer UK\u2019s Golden Gods Awards.<\/p>\n
The new recordings will also feature guitarist Karl Logan\u2019s and drummer Donnie Hamzik\u2019s contributions, who, after having played these classic hymns many times live, will now have the opportunity to add to their legacy by including their own signature sound and performance.<\/p>\n
The release of Kings Of Metal 2014 is scheduled for the end of this year.<\/p>\n
2014 will then see Manowar\u2019s anniversary tour, performing the full Kings Of Metal 2014 album along with their other metal hymns in a completely new stage production.
