Product description

Dive into the thunderous realm of power metal with Manowar's "Kings of Metal," a seminal album that stands as a testament to the band's unyielding spirit and unparalleled prowess. Released on November 1, 1988, via Atlantic Records, this iconic record is the sixth studio effort from the American heavy metal titans, marking the final appearance of founding member Ross The Boss on guitar. With a runtime of just under an hour, "Kings of Metal" is a relentless assault on the senses, featuring ten tracks of unadulterated metal fury.

The album opens with the titanic "Wheels of Fire," setting the stage for an epic journey through the band's signature sound. Tracks like "Heart of Steel" and "The Crown and the Ring (Lament of the Kings)" showcase Manowar's knack for crafting anthemic, larger-than-life metal hymns, while "Sting of the Bumblebee" and "Pleasure Slave" deliver blistering speed and aggression. The album's standout moment, "The Warriors Prayer," is a haunting ballad that highlights the band's dynamic range and storytelling prowess.

"Kings of Metal" is a cornerstone of the power metal genre, blending the raw energy of heavy metal with the soaring melodies of classic hard rock. The album's iconic cover art, featuring the band's battle-ready aesthetic, has become synonymous with the spirit of metal itself. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Manowar's thunderous sound, "Kings of Metal" is an essential addition to any metal enthusiast's collection.

This 2020 Limited Edition Reissue LP is pressed on Black vinyl.
