Manowar is an American heavy metal band renowned for their loud, powerful, and bombastic sound as well as themes drawn from fantasy literature, mythology, and history. Founded in 1980 by bassist Joey DeMaio and guitarist Ross the Boss while they were working with Black Sabbath's pyrotechnics, Manowar quickly established themselves as uncompromising defenders of heavy metal, setting the Guinness World Record for the loudest performance on multiple occasions and staunchly advocating for a "death to false metal" philosophy. Their no-holds-barred approach has garnered a dedicated global fanbase, affectionately known as "Manowarriors."

As acclaimed purveyors of sword-and-sorcery-infused metal, Manowar's discography is marked by their unyielding commitment to heavy metal's core ethos. Classics such as "Hail to England" and "Kings of Metal" remain definitive anthems, while later releases like "The Lord of Steel" and "Gods of War" continue to showcase the band's dedication to epic storytelling and virtuosic musicianship. With their most recent project, "The Final Battle I," the group delivers a concept EP that's steeped in familiar Manowar trademarks—muscular riffs, imposing vocals, and grandiose narratives. Across four decades, Manowar has solidified its legacy as one of metal's most enduring and iconic bands.
