Titter at the cover and giggle at the video for Gloves Of Metal if you must. We’ve all done it. But the seething Hatred, the awe-inspiring Gates Of Valhalla and the equal parts murderous and heartrending March For Revenge (By The Soldiers Of Death) are some of the most monumental epic doom tracks you will ever hear. And if that drop-tuned intro riff to Gloves Of Metal doesn’t send you into a paroxysm of true metal joy then you are not my friend. Into Glory Ride will crush your bones and kill your face. So wipe that smile off it.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
I like the song you posted. I’d buy that. Reminds me of later Priest.

Excellent. There’s a bit of KISS in their early stuff too at points.

Oh yeah that early Manowar stuff kicked some major ass. I guess they make themselves easy to laugh at but their tunes were undeniable.

I remember my buddy Muk buying the debut at the time and a few years later I bought All Men Play On 10. This is going waaaaay back.

I never got in to them as they always looked to silly for me to take them seriously. Maybe I missed out, but I am not worried. Great review.

I’m guessing this is one of those albums with a misleading album cover!

I could describe it many ways but not misleading.

Ah ok, you know why, the album cover looks silly to me, but it’s all about perspective, I guess.

Sorry. I see what you mean. It does look silly but it does still give you an idea of what to expect from the music cause it’s barbarian/Conan metal and the cover does get that across. There’s why I wouldn’t say misleading as such.
