Manowar The Triumph Of Steel
Immaginatevi di trovarvi in una piana medievale... di essere su un cavallo e di aspettare un potente esercito nemico ...di essere armato con una lunga spada d’oro forgiata dagli dei e da un armatura invincibile... questo è Triumph Of Steel... uno dei grandi capolavori dei King Of Metal. Quest’album viene pubblicato nel 1992 dopo il masterpiece Kings Of Metal, la formazione non è quella originale: Davide Shankle alla chitarra al posto del grande Ross, Rhino, un giovane ragazzo di origine pellerossa alla batteria al posto di Scott Columbus, per il resto alla voce Eric Adams e al basso il grande Joey DeMario.
L’album si apre con Achilles, Agony and Ectasy in Eight Parts, canzone di ben 28 minuti, che mischia un suono dolce a un suono agressivo. Metal Warriors è una bellissima track, potente e epica! Ride The Dragon raccoglie suoni arcaici ma metallici che sviluppano il senso epico in questo capolavoro, anche Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee continua a stupire l’ascoltatore con melodie arcaiche. In Burning Joey De Mario da il meglio di sé e fa vedere di cos’è capace, The Power Of Thy Sword è un capolavoro dell’heavy e dell’epic metal... bellissima ...epica ...spettacolare. The Demon’s Whip è un'altra splendida cavalcata epica... l’album si conclude con la splendida e calma Master Of The Wind.
Insomma questo cd fa sognare ...Dovete Averlo se siete amanti del Genere per ascoltare almeno una volta The Power Of Thy Sword o Master Of The Wind ...il voto è ovvio... 5 ...

03 Ride the Dragon (04:32)
Demon's blood and dragon fire, falling on my wings
Racing to the battle in the sky ancient Gods are
Calling me I hear them when they sing, of all the
Heroes who wait for me to die
Beneath a cloak of magic, I'll meet them in the air, I am
Invisible, I move without a sound they look but cannot
Find me, they think that I'm not there with a spell I
Send them crashing to the ground
Wait for me dragon, we'll meet in the sky
By fire and magic I am sworn. Hell is calling! We
Cannot be denied fly to the bllackness
Of the storm, we must die to reborn
I wear a sacred talisman, I make a secret sign
Now welcome me into this wicked wind, on
The journey of a shaman a dragon I must
Ride, the Gates of Hell are open! Let me in!!!
Rule of Hell or serve in Heaven
Choose an altar or a throne, all
Commandments and the laws of
Man disown. Now eat the fruit of
Knowledge, unto no one ye alone
Into the fire, with your soul!
05 Burning (05:10)
We have come from the ashes, of the burning away
Pouring blood in the fire, on the altar of pain
Led into temptation, now the black Gods align
Here there is no salvation, and your blood is my wine
Here's a world that is waiting, between the living and
The dead, here the flesh and it's pleasure are
Eternally wed, all is all for the taking, for a life or a
Lie, at the end of the breaking I'll be watching you die
Crawl to the silince, renounce and deny
The stars and the numbers, fortold of this time
To the words and the wisdom, too the promise of lies, by
Their angel and fury
The strong will survive
07 The Demon's Whip (07:50)
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
Black candles slowly burning, white fangs and flashing eyes
Hell's wind and incantations summon living fire,
As the seven steps await, hear the great bell toll
With a dead man's bones conjure, the enemy of the soul
From the misery and sadness, of the molten seas of hell
Mystic love and mystic symbols in evil dreams there dwell
Darkest forces and your demon's black order, black king
The cult that serves the living, accept this offering
A deadly drink, a meal of hearts, now sacrifice and die
In darkness and destruction, behold the evil eye
And the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves born on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Night winds, Oblivion see my dark desire
Come forth, appear he is living fire
Feel the Demon's whip
Armies of the gods of hell ride across the astral plane
Bearing curses of destruction, sworn beyond the grave
Children of the darkness, all born but to deceive
By the ancient code of evil grant not one reprieve
In the place where evil dwells death can live when all life dies
Wage eternal war on heaven immortal hate below the sky
Your scripture and your sermons, are leaves borne on the wind
To heal the unrepentant one needs a greater sin
Feel the Demon's whip

"Come dimenticare i 28 minuti e 30 secondi della meravigliosa suite 'Achilles agony and ecstasy in 8 Parts'?"
"'Master Of The Wind': ogni sogno è lecito, crediamoci, ed andiamo avanti ad ogni costo."
Di Starblazer
"28 minuti di noia e inutili tecnicismi"
"La crisi coinvolgerà in parte anche il successivo 'Louder Than Hell', per poi dissolversi totalmente con 'Warriors Of The World'"
