October 4, 2006

MANOWAR will make all of the songs from its new EP, "The Sons of Odin", available for streaming in a loop at its official web site on Friday, October 6 between midnight and 4:00 a.m. (CET). You can currently find the link to the party at the "intro" page of www.manowar.com. The band has also included a countdown on the page so that fans in a different time zone can join in the countdown to the party (the CET timezone can be compared to the time in Amsterdam, Paris, Oslo etc.).

As previously reported, an e-card for "The Sons of Odin" has been made available at this location.

Due in Europe on October 13 via Magic Circle Music (October 6 in Germany, October 24 in North America),"The Sons of Odin" EP features over 25 minutes of total playing time. Besides "The Sons Of Odin" — which features MANOWAR's patented, lion-hearted metal riffs mixed with arena-rock stomping grooves and orchestral arrangements — the EP includes the title track from the upcoming MANOWAR full-length album "Gods of War", an orchestral version of the new song "Odin" and live performances of "The Ascension" and "King of Kings" from the Earthshaker Fest 2005. A special Immortal Package digipak version will also feature a bonus DVD boasting 38 minutes of footage from the first ever Manowar Fan Convention in 2005 and the band's rehearsal of "Heart of Steel" — recorded in the Czech Republic with a full choir and orchestra — as well as a video trailer for the upcoming "Live at Earthshaker Fest 2005" DVD.
