I've been a metal head since I was in the second grade. Heavy metal is the only music that truly lights a fire under me. Manowar is the only band who's lyrics have truly affected me. When you listen to the message of their songs, you want to do the best you can and not let anyone or anything stand in your way. Metal and Manowar both live in my blood. Metal is who I am and my religion!  
 
All hail the KINGS!

Manowar puts some sorely neeeded greatness back into the world.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, all you need to do is listen.

Of course, if you do, then there's no need to explain.

I have listened to Heavy Metal my entire life.
 As soon as I formed an attention span I formed a love for music, from the very start I was always drawn to the works of Classical composers, and to Heavy Metal. These were the two forms of music that conveyed true substance and meaning, and a presence of both Passion and Power, music that speaks, not only to you but also through you.
 When Battle Hymns was released I was floored! It was as if the music I was hearing was made just for me.
That day I swore Allegiance to MANOWAR, and as time would reveal they too, swore allegiance to me, and through this unbreakable bond between MANOWAR and their fans, a new world sprung forth.
A world full of true value, a world of Honor, Loyalty, Respect and of true empathy and caring.
 The world of the Immortal Warrior.
 I am Proud to be one of the Army of Immortals, to stand by the side of my Brothers and Sisters in The House of Death.
 
All Hail, MANOWAR! Glory, Majesty, Unity, Hail…Hail…Hail

My name is Lisa Marie “Pikachu” Taylor from New York City.
I started listening to Heavy Metal since I was in my mother’s womb as she held her fully blasting stereo speakers on her belly.
To me Manowar is pure love and family. Manowar is something amazing that unites metalheads together as one giant tribe unmatched by anything.  Our power and strength is beyond this world and universe when we are brought together by the power of Manowar.
I grew up in a place of intolerance where the color of your skin was supposed to dictate what music you listen to.  I was the rebel.  Where rap was blasted; I fought back with Heavy Metal and especially with Manowar.
Through all the evils that have attempted to end my life; with the power that Manowar gives I have defeated them all and will continue to do so.

I am the Manowarrior; the woman of pure metal.

Hail & Kill!

Joshua Myers

I've been listening to rock for all my life but I found metal in middle school. Though I've loved metal I always felt like there was some kind of void in what I was listening too. I was always finding/looking for new music and while I enjoyed it still that void wasn't full and I didn't realize how large it was until I stumbled onto Manowar.
I found Hail & Kill and I was listening to it over and over again and then I started to dig deeper into the Kings of Metal and they rushed in to fill that void I had felt, lifting my spirits and my attitude to new heights!
Manowar makes every day brighter now!

Michael Page

You guys may know me as MikeOwar from the HoD, well I first got into metal in 1979 when I was introduced to Van Halen, and Eddie's incredible guitar.  Then I moved on To Priest, Maiden and AC/DC.  In 1985, while I was stationed in Germany, I heard Hail To England.  I loved it. It was a great album, but I didn't really understand what it meant to "be Manowar".  Then, when I was home on leave in 1990, a friend of mine put Fighting The World on the stereo.  WOW!  When I heard "Carry On", I fully understood what Manowar was all about, and I have been a true believer ever since.

HAIL!!

I have loved Metal since 1975, Deep Purple Burn and RitchieBlackmore's Rainbow were my first heavy albums, and I still love them to this day. The very first time I ever heard Manowar was Hail To England in 1984, at the age of 18. I was immediately drawn into their entire attitude: I understood from that point on how much of a spiritual experience Heavy Metal could be. Manowar's music meant you could be a hero, even in your own, day to day life.
When I listened to Army of Immortals, I couldn't help but love Manowar, I was so happy, inspired, and touched that Manowar loved their fans that much...to make a whole, beautiful song all about their fans. It's as though Manowar wanted their fans to see themselves as the heroes. It was then I first intimated that Manowar are the true Kings Of Metal. Their most recent studio release, Gods of War, only affirmed my 24 year long love for Manowar. It is an unstoppable Metal Masterpiece. We Immortals could never expect less from these, the Heavy Metal Warriors of the World.

My name is Jerry, I am from Los Angeles, California, USA.
 I discovered Manowar earlier this year (June 09) by accident.  Since my discovering Manowar they have quickly ascended to being one of my favorite bands. I love the “true metal” attitude, the approach they take with their fans requests and the fact that they take on projects that allow their fans to get involved with them and each other (Asgard Saga).
 I can’t say enough about Manowars music.  Since I am very new to the Manowar scene I haven’t heard all of their music, this allows me to make weekly discoveries (of individual songs) that many of Manowar fans have known about for years.  So basically I’m like a kid in a candy store, everywhere I turn I find new undiscovered (by me) gems.  Every week I have a couple new (actually old) songs added into my music rotation. This has been great!!! Each week I get to play my new Manowar discoveries for my friends and I love it when they say “how did we never hear these guys before?” The variation in styles of music while remaining true to metal is outstanding; I can go from straight up metal to hard rock, from power metal to speed metal and for good measure, throw in Nessa Dorma or American Trilogy.
Lastly, The House of Death.  The Brothers and Sisters on the site have been great!  They have welcomed me into their Brotherhood with open arms and for this I thank them.  Hopefully one day I will be able to attend a Magic Circle Festival and meet them. In the meantime I will continue to hope for a Manowar show somewhere here in their homeland!

Hail and Kill!!!

Lena Hagg

Back in the year of the dragon when I was born under the sign of the hammer, I was given the name Lena. It was 1964; There was great music all around me. Mama loved Elvis, Buddy Holly, and Dean Martin. (All the greats of the time really.) Daddy loved Johnny Cash, and all the great 1950's Doo-Wop artists. Grandma loved Wagner, Bach, and Beethoven. Grandpa loved the sound of the great big bands of the 1940's.

I LOVED IT ALL!!!! I couldn't get enough! Naturally, since my parents were music lovers themselves, they encouraged me to listen to all the music that I could get my hands on. That is, until I grew older and really started exploring music on my own. They didn't like it too much when I brought home the music of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Nazareth, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, Rainbow, Aerosmith, Santana, etc. Too many to mention really. Yep, that's when it all changed. That's when they started yelling at me to, "Turn that shit down!!!!"

Of course, those words only made me wantto turn it up louder (hehehe), and seek more music. Still didn't feel quite complete for some reason. Little did I know what was in store for me next. Little did I know that I was about to find the music that I would NEVER turn down.

It was 1982, my 18th year, when I came across ManOwaR's Battle Hymn's at my local record store here in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (That's where I hail from.) From the moment the needle finished revolving around that record, I was hooked! I listened to it over and over. Each and every song on that album blew me away!!!! Every single song that ManOwaR's recorded since has done the very same! I can not say this of any other band. ManOwaR NEVER SEIZES TO AMAZE ME!!!!

ManOwaR changed my life!!!! I became a true metal person on that very day! With this new life, I felt it only appropriate that I have a new name. I started calling myself  Metallena. ( 'Cause I Know One Thing Really Sets Me Free...!!!!  ) That's what people that know me very well call me. Those who don't know me all that well have dubbed me That Crazy ManOwaR Lady and/or The ManOwaR Freak. I LOVE IT!!!! I'll answer proudly to any of the names that I've mentioned.

Last year though, in 2009, I was given the title that makes me feel like the happiest, most honored, and proudest person to have ever walked this Earth!!!! Through being able to prove to ManOwaR that I have been very supportive, very dedicated, and very devoted to the band for close to three decades now, I was named their ultimate sister of steel. (Yes, yes, yes, I am; I am "FANtastically FANatic" about ManOwaR!!!!) I'm not saying this to boast. (Eh, maybe just a little.) AGAIN, I am so happy, honored, and proud, but, you see, ManOwaR's music had already given me this sense of  honor and pride. That's what ManOwaR's music does for all of their true fans! ManOwaR has the best fans on this Earth, and we are ALL #1. 

Now I'd like to say a few words about what ManOwaR's music means to me. Well, number one, it's my life!!!! It gives me power! It gives me courage! It gives me a feeling that I can conquer anything, but most of all it gives me "The Will To Go On And Fight Through Endless Suffering". ManOwaR's music is epic! It's phenomenal ! It is TRUE fucking Heavy Metal, and there's nothing better than hearing them live!!!! Yep, when they're louder than Hell and playing on ten, that's when I'm in Valhalla! Yeah, that's when!!!!  I've seen them several times, but not as much as I'd like to. It's never enough. I belong at each and every hall. I love the pure power that comes off the stage when ManOwaR plays; I love having my face melted off!!!! They truly are the best!!!!

I'm just so glad that I came to their side, and that The Sign Of The Hammer IS, indeed, my guide!!!! It will be immortally! ManOwaR's made me so proud for they have proved a whole lot over the years. ManOwaR's music has been with me each and every day of my adult life, and believe me, I'm still promoting the band as much as I possibly can. I don't know what the deal is over here in The United States. I MISS MY BAND!!!! Ironically though, the one time I actually felt as if I belonged was when I was in Germany last year with all my sisters and brothers. Most of us didn't even speak the same language, but ah, the unity!!!! It's beautiful.

My true brothers of metal and sincere sisters of steel know that ManOwaR's music is not just something that you hear ; It's something that you feel. I truly feel sorry for the ones who do not have ManOwaR in their hearts as we do. It's a great feeling!!!! I truly believe that if there were more people in this world with this feeling that the world would be a much better place!!!!

If you have this feeling, you are probably here and know exactly what I am talking about. If you don't have this feeling, what are you waiting for? Go listen to ManOwaR, the loudest, truest Heavy Metal band ---- EVER!!!!

FUCK THE WORLD!!!!
HAIL AND KILL!!!!

Troy King

Hail to all my Brothers and Sisters of Metal,

My name is Troy King AKA Sinister Minister. I have been listening to Manowar since the very early eighty's when one of my friends came clutching an album to his chest and said you need to hear this! I have not stopped listening since. I became part of the brotherhood of Heavy Metal. Manowar has given me the strength to seek out my dreams to accomplish my goals, and to be part of something greater then myself. It is amazing that so many from some many different countries and cultures cancome together to be one.

We are the
WARRIORS OF THE WORLD!!!

Hail and Kill

Strength and Honor
