Description
Manowar returned after 6 years with an album they called, Warriors Of The World, the pretence repository must have been just boiling over, because somewhere in the middle of a solid heavy metal album, it suddenly fucking explodes, wiping out half the album in a flurry of utter and abject stupidity. Warriors Of The World has 3-4 good tracks but also some of their worst. When they then decides to release two of the albums worst cuts on a single they finally did it. Manowar have finally begun to make a joke out of themselves. I mean, Death To False Metal, wimps and posers leave the hall bla bla bla (you can ad any verbal shit from Joey DeMaio here) and then release something that must be a joke.
Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in Dixie away, away
Yes please Joey DeMaio i wish you were in Dixieland too. Please take your cat skin gloves and you fur bikini and leave this band alone. Eric Adams has one of the best voices in heavy metal and he can prove it in Nessun Dorma. This isnt a bad track but come on, Manowar was never about being warriors of opera. Then we have Fight For Freedom with some spoken stuff and piano parts that finally builds up to a rocker. So do you still thinking about buying this outrage? Yes i know, Manowar have released milestone albums once upon a time and yes i understand if you want to have a complete discography. However leave this disc still sealed in your collection and you will feel much better. All i can see with this single is that they wanted to preach their own death because anyone in their correct state of mind cant honestly cant call this true heavy metal. Another proof that the band had totally lost it at this time was when they decided that the track Dawn Of Battle had to be left out from the album as it obvious wasnt good enough. Trust me if you want something from Manowar between the 1996 album Louder Than Hell and the Gods Of War album in 2007 then go for the Dawn Of Battle EP.
