Manowar's second album is like the first one but a little bit tougher. "Warlord", "Gloves of Metal", "Revelation" offer good metal for all metal heads. "Secret of Steel" and "Hatred" are very dark songs and very pessimistic. "Revelation" is quite a fast track, very satanic one. In most tracks you can hear very good choirs, Manowar uses them and they make record very much better. "Gates of Valhalla" and "March for Revenge" are definitely the best tracks. They have silent parts and faster parts. Brother and sisters of metal: keep lsitening Manowar!

When I first heard Manowar, I thought they were the greatest spoof on heavy metal since Spinal Tap. Then I realized that this was no joke - THESE GUYS WERE ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS. Apparently Joey DiMaio thinks that what the world needs most is a swords-and-sorcery anthem from a bunch of guys who have probably played far too much Dungeons and Dragons. This is "Conan Metal" at its most ridiculous. Funnier than Gwar - but only because they don't realize they're kidding.

Like alchemists coming up with the right formula to make steel out of muscle, Manowar pushed forward twenty years ago with what probably is their magnum opus "Into Glory Ride". Black Sabbath,Mountain, Maiden and Priest go together with other 70's epic rock influences and are refined and honed into an epic metal masterpiece which stands on its own. This is seriously one of the best metal albums made, period. The cheese factor explored on later albums (still good though) hasn't shown up too much other than on the cover, and what results is also what many term Manowar's "Doom" album. Some of the slow Pounding pace of the sounds just take you to a place out of "Conan the Barbarian" or a Frank Frazetta painting and the melodies surge in your mind as the journey begins. The first song "Warlord" starts with a silly sample but the song is basically their statement about the way they want to live. The real journey begins on "Secret of Steel" and doesn't let up. Basil Pouledoris must have been another influence on these guys with their epic compositions (Bassist Joey Demaio is a huge Richard Wagner fan) and there are hardly any keyboards, just the four kings, and power, metal and might and that's all they need to create a musicical masterpiece up there with epic opera. Buy it immediately!

What happened??
I'll have to strongly disagree with the other reviewers on this album. While Battlehymns wasn't the greatest metal album ever, it did show a lot of promise for things to come. Read more
