Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York, which formed in 1980.
Joey DeMaio was working as a bass tech / pyrotechnic for Black Sabbath when he met with guitarist Ross the Boss, playing for a group called Shakin Street, a Black Sabbath support band. They later recruited Eric Adams for vocals and Donnie Hamzik for the drums, to create Manowar — a band with an unusual epic sound. Manowar recorded Battle Hymns, their debut album, which featured "Dark Avenger", a slow epic track with narration by Orson Welles (Welles later returned on the Fighting the World album and did the narration on another slow track called "Defender").
Drummer Scott Columbus joined the band for their second album, Into Glory Ride. Their official biography states that custom stainless steel drum kits had to be built for him because his drumming technique was so "vicious" that it ruined standard kits.
Manowar claims the title of "loudest band in the world", and the Guiness Book of World Records has documented them as the holders of the record for the loudest musical performance, at 129.5 decibels. Custom equipment was built for the band by John "Dawk" Stillwell, which helped achieve the massive sound.
The band is also notable for its ownership of their entire operation. Record recording and distribution, as well as merchandise, are all controlled by the band. Singer Eric Adams has said that the reason for this is that the band has received unfair treatment financially in the past, and also to ensure the highest quality production. The band's label, Magic Circle Music, includes other bands such as Rhapsody of Fire.
The release of their next album, which was scheduled for April 3, 2006, was delayed due to severe left arm injuries sustained by guitarist Karl Logan during a motorcycle accident on January 24, 2006. He will be unable to perform for an unknown period of time, but is expected to recover.
The latest Manowar recordings are the songs "King of Kings" and "The Ascension", released in 2005 with their latest DVD Hell on Earth Part IV. A new single, planned for release on February 27 2006, containing the ten-minute unreleased epic "Sons of Odin" as well as a rerecording of "King of Kings", was postponed due to Karl Logan's injuries. "The Sons of Odin" EP was released in Germany on the 4th of October and elsewhere on October 6th. It was then followed by a full length DVD release containing the EarthShaker Fest of 2005.
