MANOWAR: Greek Date Announced

January 11, 2011

The demands from the Greek fans have been answered and MANOWAR will be heading to Thessaloniki to bring true metal to Greece on March 18 at the Principal Club Theater.

After confirming shows in the U.K. and in the U.S., now it's time for Continental Europe to witness the raw power of a live performance by the Kings Of Metal once again.

In addition to performing MANOWAR classics, the band will play its debut album, 1982's "Battle Hymns", in its entirety.

Upcoming MANOWAR shows:

Mar. 12 - The Agora - Cleveland, OH
Mar. 18 - Principal Club Theater - Thessaloniki, Greece
Mar. 27 - O2 Academy - Birmingham, UK
Apr. 08 - Rodahal - Kerkrade - The Netherlands

MANOWAR bassist and producer Joey DeMaio recently released a new video message in which he offered an update on the status of the songwriting and recording sessions for the band's next album, "Hammer Of The Gods". You can watch it below.

Stated DeMaio: "A couple of people were wanting to know what's going on with the new album, 'Hammer Of The Gods'. Well, the truth is this: [original MANOWAR drummer] Donnie Hamzik is officially back in the band, and that changed everything for us. So all the songs that were written have been completely fucking thrown out, completely ditched — gone, never to be heard from again. The writing has changed because Donnie's back in the band and he's burning like a mad motherfucking demon on drums. So this album is gonna basically sound like I told you before — like somebody put gasoline on your fucking balls and lit it. So it'll be worth the fucking wait, 'cause when it comes, it's coming back."

"Hammer Of The Gods" was previously described as the first installment of "The Asgard Saga", the band's unique multimedia fantasy adventure with best-selling author Wolfgang Hohlbein.

MANOWAR recently decided that its fans deserved to hear the songs from its debut album, 1982's "Battle Hymns", with the massive sound and production that has become the group's signature over recent years and records.

"Battle Hymns 2011" features two never-before-released live versions of "Death Tone" and "Fast Taker" recorded during the band's very first concerts in 1982. These are the rarest bonus materials ever released to date in MANOWAR's career.
