This was the first Manowar album to feature artwork by long-time collaborator Ken Kelly, and also the first Heavy Metal album to be recorded and mixed entirely on digital equipment!! Stomping rhythms, screeching guitars, the divine vocals of Eric Adams - you just have to love it! With "Carry On", "Defender" and "Black Wind, Fire And Steel" there are three immortal classics on this album, which truly deserve their place in the Olymp of Metal. This is Metal as it should be! Energetic, great riffs, the incarnation of a vocal-god in Eric Adams and of course a whole bunch of the best Metal songs that ever have seen the light of this planet!!

Liberty Records, a division of Capitol Records, Inc./EMI, 1982 (1A 064-400103). This guys unwittingly created a masterpiece! Enjoy it for all its intentions and what it truly delivers!! Needless to say, you seriously need this album if you like good music! No big deal though if music critics would rather listen to pop offered by Motown Records then this then clearly they've got some sort of serious mental illness and there's nothing we can do. Manowar deserve celebration far more so then mockery, definitely. Manowar's status as the laughing stock of Metal is a pretty good example of just how Metal is misunderstood by the masses, and indeed, by the fans themselves. What does "Battle Hymns" mean to us this day? Well, it shows a band accused of excess at their leanest, playing with such heart and such sonic thunder, and with an urgency that would be severely lessened for most of their career.

Besides their refreshingly totalistic loyalty to form, Manowar's most admirable trait is their prodigious Metal musicianship, but with so much slow, balladic material, "Kings of Metal" makes little use of the band's fundamental musical strengths. Considered by some fans to be a classic of its own, the 1988 release might have a many ballads for Power Metal enthusiasts, brushing up on the genre's history. There aren't many surprises on the disc, with the possible exception of bassist Joey DeMaio's blinding 64th-note bass playing on a reworking of Russian classicist Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" entitled "Sting of the Bumblebee". The twin sentiments of the band's Metal mastery and the majesty of medieval heroism in battle are doggedly repeated on their sixth full-length release. On their anthemic mission statement, "Kings Of Metal", Manowar once again proclaim their Metal superiority thusly: "Other bands play, Manowar kills"! The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band.
