Ye Olde Metal: Manowar's Battle Hymns

The 2013 Martin Popoff short ebook about the making of the Manowar album, Battle Hymns.


What I like about this one is that instead of spokesman and bassist Joey DeMaio, I've got vocalist Eric Adams telling, at length, the story of putting together Manowar's trend-bucking debut record of might is right. Indeed, Battle Hymns is a strange collection of anthems created in a vacuum, recorded oddly, the whole idea of Manowar being original and disruptive of heavy metal standards.
