HAIL BROTHERS FROM ALL LANDS!

I first heard Manowarback in 88' when a friend brought me the Kings Of Metal tape (yeah it was on cassette!!), I still have it. I was so blown away by the sheer power, extremeness and glory of this music that I have been a diehard fan from then and forever onwards. I remember I use to get my basketball team to listen to Blood of the Kings before any match so we would go psyched into the game. Everyone I meet will hear me talking about the wonder of Manowar as the greatest heavy metal band ever.
Back then it was hard to get some news on them, only on some magazines, the first video I saw of them was a live performance of Metal Warriors (it looked very bootlegish), then I bought the Secrets of Steel limited edition box and was again blown away. I love these guys everyday more; they excel and give it ALL for the fans, like NO OTHER band out there. I, of course, have all their records now, quite a few DVDs and other stuff.
Their lyrics and message resonate in me like an earthquake of inspiration; it gives me courage, faith and power to go on. They're coming to Chile now and I have been very ill for a few months, but I don't give a f***, I'm gonna be at the barrier no matter what!

AND, we are the greatest family of followers, period.

ALL HAIL THE KINGS OF METAL!!!
