Saw this quote on Blabbermouth from Joey DeMaio of Manowar about their in-progress new album and the last line was so unintentionally hilarious that I damn near spat soda out of my nose:

 

Stated DeMaio: "A couple of people were wanting to know what's going on with the new album, 'Hammer Of The Gods'. Well, the truth is this: [original MANOWAR drummer] Donnie Hamzik is officially back in the band, and that changed everything for us. So all the songs that were written have been completely fucking thrown out, completely ditched — gone, never to be heard from again. The writing has changed because Donnie's back in the band and he's burning like a mad motherfucking demon on drums. So this album is gonna basically sound like I told you before — like somebody put gasoline on your fucking balls and lit it."

 

Um...say WHAT? :yikes: Maybe it's just me, but telling me that this album will be similar to setting fire to my genital region does not strike me as a major selling point. :rofl2:

Did you happen to hear the last Manowar album (GODS OF WAR)? It was torture. I honestly think I'd rather have my balls set on fire than listen to anything further from this band.

I have it, but, no, I haven't heard it, yet. Honestly, I've only heard a few Manowar tracks, altogether.

It's awful, pretentious, symphonic slop. It's like listening to the score of a "Lord of the Rings" movie without any visuals.

 

I clocked it with a stopwatch when I first got the CD and I swear to God it's a good nine or ten minutes in before you even hear an electric guitar.

Oh, Manowar... the true posers. :stfu:

Honestly, it's why I was interested, in the first place. They look like a bunch of fools, and they clearly take themselves too seriously. How can you not love that?

If it's anything like their last few albums wouldn't it be more like somebody jamming barbed wire in my ears? :anon:

 

Well at least the last one. I didn't love 'Warriors of the World' but at least it had a handful of true metal anthems. And of course 'Louder than Hell' was plain awesome and it's to bad that can't return to that awesomeness.

 

Also wasnt' Demaio also saying how great the return of drummer Scott Columbus was and now he's saying the same shit about the return of Donnie. If he was so great then why did he leave in the first place? Sometimes I just wonder about the shit that comes out of Demaio mouth.

Their next album is a re-recording of the mighty 'Battle Hymns' and is out end of this month. This could be (note I said 'Could be') really good, as I always thought that the songs on the original were awesome, but lacked the power and production. Set your calenders for Nov 29th.

 

To quote.

 

''Re-record a classic? But think about it; in the words of the band themselves "we constantly receive requests for the classics. Our fans love the early songs as much as they love the new ones," says vocalist Eric Adams. Okay, but why re-record it? The band decided that their fans deserved to hear these songs with the massive sound and production that has become their signature over recent years and records. Finally, technology has caught up with MANOWAR's custom-built equipment and studio innovations. Now it is time to revisit Battle Hymns and reinterpret it with the unbridled power of today's technology"

I also find it kind of odd that they're scrapping everything that was already recorded just because they replaced the drummer. Is that really necessary? I mean, I can understand why Anthrax had to sh*t can the album they'd just finished with Dan Nelson on vocals and go back to Square One now that he's out of the band, but why would you start over from scratch because of a change in drummers?

I read that as saying that Donnie isn't good enough to play Scott's parts but I could be wrong.

Damn. Looks like Manowar have been taking some "How to Soak the Fanboys" classes at the Gene Simmons Academy of Music Marketing... get a load of this crap (from Blabbermouth)

 

The vinyl picture disc, limited-edition version of "Battle Hymns 2011", the "reinterpretation" of MANOWAR's debut album, 1982's "Battle Hymns", can be personalized with your name and autographed by the band. Available for a whopping $199.95, it includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. According to a posting on MANOWAR's official webstore, The Kingdom Of Steel, if you pre-order now, you will also get the digital download immediately "for free," with a 16-page PDF booklet.

 

:yikes: Anyone stupid enough to lay out that kinda coin needs to be beaten severely about the face and head.

Operators are standing by so call now!

 

That is ridiculous. Are there really Manowar fans who are nuts enough to shell out that kind of $$$ for something as dumb as this?

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
