Luckily, "Anthology" provides a ║ │ │║ comprehensive look at the band's first fifteen ║ │ │║ years. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Heavy metal to the core, Manowar is known as one ║ │ │║ of the most metal bands of all time. Their ║ │ │║ playing style also includes several important ║ │ │║ genres (traditional metal, as is heard on the ║ │ │║ opening self-titled track), speed metal (Metal ║ │ │║ Daze), and the ever-important genre of songs ║ │ │║ about metal (All Men Play On 10, Blow Your ║ │ │║ Speakers, Metal Daze) without sounding like a ║ │ │║ Spinal Tap/AC/DC/Twisted Sister rip-off. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Musically, the play a very solid metal with few ║ │ │║ distractions; maybe an acoustic interlude here ║ │ │║ or there, but other than that, nothing but ║ │ │║ nonstop savagery. Their lyrics are also a metal ║ │ │║ archetype; they deal with subjects ranging from ║ │ │║ metal itself to Norse mythology and even heroic ║ │ │║ battles. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ On this album, the fourteen best songs from ║ │ │║ their first eight albums, with no filler or ║ │ │║ other bullshit. There is no such thing as a bad ║ │ │║ Manowar release, and this compilation removes ║ │ │║ all the excess and unnecessary songs, leaving ║ │ │║ nothing but their vital work. Who doesn't sweat ║ │ │║ through their shirt when they hear Blood Of The ║ │ │║ Kings?s ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ All-in-all, if you can't afford Manowar's ║ │ │║ discography, Anthology will do the trick and let ║ │ │║ you in on one of metal's great bands. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 taken from Battle Hymns, ║ │ │║ 1982. ║ │ │║ Tracks 5 and 6 taken from Sign of the Hammer, ║ │ │║ 1984. ║ │ │║ Tracks 7, 8 and 11 taken from Fighting the ║ │ │║ World, 1987. ║ │ │║ Tracks 9, 10 and 12 taken from Kings of Metal, ║ │ │║ 1988. ║ │ │║ Tracks 13 and 14 taken from The Triumph of ║ │ │║ Steel, 1992. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Discography ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Demo '81 Demo, 1981 ║ │ │║ Battle Hymns Full-length, 1982 ║ │ │║ Defender Single, 1983 ║ │ │║ Into Glory Ride Full-length, 1983 ║ │ │║ Hail to England Full-length, 1984 ║ │ │║ All Men Play On 10 Single, 1984 ║ │ │║ Sign of the Hammer Full-length, 1984 ║ │ │║ Blow Your Speakers Single, 1987 ║ │ │║ Fighting the World Full-length, 1987 ║ │ │║ Kings of Metal/Herz Aus Stahl Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Wheels of Fire Single, 1988 ║ │ │║ Kings of Metal Full-length, 1988 ║ │ │║ Metal Warriors Single, 1992 ║ │ │║ The Triumph of Steel Full-length, 1992 ║ │ │║ Manowar Kills Best of/Compilation, 1992 ║ │ │║ The Hell of Steel Best of/Compilation, 1994 ║ │ │║ Return Of The Warlord Single, 1996 ║ │ │║ Louder Than Hell Full-length, 1996 ║ │ │║ Number 1 Single, 1996 ║ │ │║ Courage Single, 1996 ║ │ │║ Anthology Best of/Compilation, 1997 ║ │ │║ Secrets Of Steel Boxed set, 1997 ║ │ │║ Courage (Live) Single, 1997 ║ │ │║ Hell on Wheels - Live Live album, 1997 ║ │ │║ The Kingdom Of Steel Best of/Compilation, 1998 ║ │ │║ Live in France Single, 1998 ║ │ │║ Live in Portugal Single, 1998 ║ │ │║ Live in Spain Single, 1998 ║ │ │║ Steel Warriors Best of/Compilation, 1998 ║ │ │║ Live in Germany Single, 1999 ║ │ │║ Hell on Stage Live album, 1999 ║ │ │║ Hell on Earth Part I Video/VHS, 2000 ║ │ │║ Hell On Earth Part I DVD, 2001 ║ │ │║ Warriors Of The World United Single, 2002 ║ │ │║ Warriors of the World Full-length, 2002 ║ │ │║ Warriors Of The World United DVD, 2002 ║ │ │║ An American Trilogy Single, 2002 ║ │ │║ The Dawn Of Battle Single, 2002 ║ │ │║ Fire And Blood DVD, 2002 ║ │ │║ Hell on Earth III DVD, 2003 ║ │ │║ King of Kings Single, 2005 ║ │ │║ Hell On Earth IV DVD, 2005 ║ │ │║ The Sons of Odin EP, 2006 ║ │ │║ The Absolute Power DVD, 2006 ║ │ │║ Gods of War Full-length, 2007 ║ │ │║ Gods of War Live Live album, 2007 ║ │ │║ Die with Honor Single, 2008 ║ │ │║ Classics Best of/Compilation, 2009 ║ │ │║ Thunder in the sky EP, 2009 ║ │ │║ Hell on Earth V DVD, 2009 ║ │ │║ Battle Hymns MMXI Full-length, 2010 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Manowar [03:40] │ │ 02 - Metal Daze [04:22] │ │ 03 - Fast Taker [04:00] │ │ 04 - Battle Hymn [06:59] │ │ 05 - All Men Play On 10 [04:00] │ │ 06 - Sign Of The Hammer [04:18] │ │ 07 - Fighting The World [03:52] │ │ 08 - Blow Your Speakers [03:38] │ │ 09 - Heart Of Steel [05:10] │ │ 10 - Blood Of The Kings [07:30] │ │ 11 - Violence And Bloodshed [04:00] │ │ 12 - Wheels Of Fire [04:11] │ │ 13 - Metal Warriors [03:56] │ │ 14 - The Demon's Whip [07:48] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [67:24 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
