This imperial edition, released on March 26, 2019, via Magic Circle Entertainment, is a testament to the band's enduring legacy in the power metal, heavy metal, and hard rock genres. The album, originally a tribute to their British fanbase and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, has been meticulously transferred from analog to digital at 96kHz quality, ensuring that every riff, every drum beat, and every vocal roar is as impactful as the day it was recorded.
"Hail to England (Imperial Edition MMXIX)" features seven remixed and remastered tracks, each a staple of Manowar's discography.

The album's standout tracks, such as "Bridge of Death" and the title track "Hail to England," showcase Manowar's signature sound, characterized by Eric Adams' powerful vocals and Joey DeMaio's heavy, driving bass lines.
This remastered edition is not just a reissue; it's a celebration of Manowar's influence on the metal genre. The album, which originally charted in the UK, is a nod to the country where the band formed and where their music first resonated with fans. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to Manowar's music, this remixed and remastered edition of "Hail to England" is a powerful addition to any metal enthusiast's collection.
