Manowar es una banda de heavy metal estadounidense formada en Auburn, Nueva York, en 1980. Fundada por el bajista Joey DeMaio y el guitarrista Ross "The Boss" Friedman, la banda se ha consagrado como un ícono del metal épico, caracterizado por sus letras inspiradas en la mitología, la fantasía y la lucha heroica.
Joey DeMaio trabajaba como técnico de bajo para Black Sabbath durante su gira 'Heaven and Hell' cuando conoció a Ross Friedman, quien estaba actuando con su banda Shakin' Street. La conexión fue instantánea y ambos decidieron formar una banda que se alejara de las tendencias comerciales y que se enfocara exclusivamente en el verdadero espíritu del metal.
Manowar lanzó su álbum debut, Battle Hymns, en 1982. Este disco sentó las bases de lo que sería su distintivo sonido: riffs poderosos, solos virtuosos y la voz operática de Eric Adams. Temas como "Death Tone" y el himno "Battle Hymn" resonaron entre los aficionados al metal por su audacia y actitud indomable.
La banda continuó afianzando su estatus con álbumes como Into Glory Ride (1983), Hail to England (1984) y Sign of the Hammer (1984). Cada uno de estos discos ofrecía una mezcla de potentes himnos de batalla y epopeyas musicales que tenían tanto de absoluto heavy metal como de operístico. Canciones como "Blood of My Enemies" y "Thor (The Powerhead)" se convirtieron en clásicos imperecederos.

The God's Made Of Heavy Metal Song Lyrics
The God's Made Of Heavy Metal by Manowar In the beginning there was silence
and darkness, all across the earth.
Then came the wind, and a hole in the sky.
Thunder and lightning keep crushing down,
hit the earth and split the ground,
fire burning high in the sky.
From down below, fire melted the stone,
the ground shook, and started to pound.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.
We are the true believers,
its our turn to show the world,
in the fire of heavy metal,
we were burnt.
It's more than our religion,
it's the only way to live,
but the enemies of metal,
we can't forgive.
We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never... gonna die.
We believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.
We're here tonight for heavy metal,
are you ready in the hall?
They have chosen us,
and we have heard the call.
Go and tell rumor with our sound,
crack walls and shake the ground.
Fight tonight for metal,
one and all.
(cause)
we believe in the power and the might,
and the gods who made metal, are with us tonight.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna die.
The gods made heavy metal,
and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
we promised that we would.
When loosers say its over with,
you know that its a lie.
The gods made heavy metal,
and its never gonna, never gonna die
