Manowar

Sofia, Bulgaria - June 16, 2019 - Review https://bit.ly/2N4btAl Here a rough translation for our English speaking fans: Almost a decade after their last visit to Bulgaria, the Manowar Metal Kings have once again come to their home scene to bring a titanic concert, to put it mildly. The months before the event, the tour was announced as a farewell and accordingly titled "The Final Battle". The hearts of the fans were broken ... but Joey DeMaio and company did announce that MANOWAR's tour was not the last, on the contrary, the band is preparing new material, a new album, new concerts ... We pray you, do not you scare us like this! :) In recent years, all sorts of rock and metal names have appeared in Bulgaria, but when it comes to world-class stars, this show was on a whole different level. Because MANOWAR is undoubtedly one of the greatest musical luminaries in history - few groups can reach their popularity among different ages, genders and nationalities around the world. What happened exactly in the evening of June 16 in Arena Armeec Hall? It is hard to describe in words. The 120-minute fire show of the group began with the song "Manowar" from the band's debut album "Battle Hymns" from 1982. The sound was murderous, the scene was a forge located amid bloody volcanoes, scattered bones and skeletons (apparently forgotten characters !) around where "Manowar" raged like a whirlwind of steel. One after another, the metal hymns - "Brothers of Metal", "Blood of My Enemies", "Warriors of the World", "Fighting the World", "Hail & Kill", songs that made the blood boil, are tense and the audience erupts like a single powerful army. Hardly anyone doubted that MANOWAR would bring the best of their work to their Bulgarian fans. But they did even more. Twelve years after his cult visit to Kavarna, during which vocalist Erik Adams performed the Bulgarian anthem, the tale was repeated. And with what power and emotion! The audience paused, disbelieving, then stood up and sang in with the Kings of Metal "Gorda Stara Planina ...". Fire and steel, dragons and warriors leading sacred wars - epic scenes played on a huge screen during each of the songs that performed "Manowar"! The audience wanted more and more, the stage was dying and boiling, and one after another, immortal compositions - "Call to Arms", "Swords in the Wind", "The Power of Thy Sword" were shot, until the panting "Black Wind, Fire & Steel” and bitter separation; thankfully, not forever! Other bands play, MANOWAR kills! #TheFinalBattle #worldtour #Sofia #review

Sofia, Bulgaria - June 16, 2019 - Review: https://bit.ly/2N2wxXT Here a rough translation for our English speaking fans: The Warriors of MANOWAR Conquered Bulgaria The Heavy Metal heroes honored the local fans with "Mila Rodino" The favorites of the local metal scene MANOWAR performed a magnificent show in front of thousands of Bulgarian fans gathered in Arena Armeec on Sunday night. The American band presented the best of its discography. The show was part of The Final Battle World Tour, with album hits over the past 30 years being performed Traditionally, vocalist Eric Adams performed the Bulgarian anthem, which was highly and loudly appreciated by Bulgarian fans. Then bass guitarist Joey DeMaio admitted that Bulgaria is one of his favorite destinations. He added that he liked Bulgarian beer and rakia, greeted Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova and dedicated the concert to all heavy metal defenders as well as the deceased Bulgarian translator Nelly. DeMaio even spoke Bulgarian, but that should not surprise us because he is a friend of former Kavarna Mayor Tsonko Tsonev and the first concert of the band in Bulgaria - in 2007, within Kavarna Rock Fest, he already he had learned an enormous amount of Bulgarian words with which he freely worked from the stage by the sea. The show ended with the words 'today, on June 16, the Warriors of MANOWAR conquered Bulgaria!' The show was broadcast live on a huge LED screen behind the stage, and in a set of volcanoes, battle scenes and real Vikings carrying torches that symbolized the transition to Valhalla. The band came with a team of more than 60 people in Sofia. #TheFinalBattle #worldtour #Sofia #review

Regarding Hellfest (June 21, 2019) After 18 months of tireless work and preparation we arrived at the Hellfest site yesterday, ready to play today. The Hellfest organizers obstructed our efforts to put on the epic show we had promised. Despite what you may hear or read, the Hellfest organizers did have control over the circumstances that prevented our performance. We always have and always will fight to give our fans 100%. Our French fans and press know, if MANOWAR come to France and are unable to perform, the fault does not lie with us. Remember the Élysée Montmartre. We are very sorry that you are being made to suffer. We want you to know that everything we do is for our fans. We stand together with all of you as we always have, and we will not allow anyone to lessen the quality of our shows. Be very sure the truth will come out! Thank you to the Greatest Fans In The World for your continued loyalty and support. MANOWAR Photo: Peero Lakanen (c) 2019 Magic Circle Entertainment
