MANOWAR has shared a performance video of the song “Warriors Of The World United”, recorded live at the Hell & Heaven Metal Fest on March 14, 2020.
“Warriors Of The World United”, first released on MANOWAR‘s 2002 best-selling album “Warriors Of The World” is the group’s hymn dedicated to their fans, affectionally dubbed the Manowarriors.This rendition was recorded live at Manowar’s first ever concert in Mexico and honors the 40,000 fans that joined Manowar on this historic night on March 14, 2020.” shared the band.
Although MANOWAR has released a couple of EPs in recent years — including “The Revenge Of Odysseus (Highlights)”, which came out in June — the group hasn’t issued a full-length effort since 2012’s “The Lord Of Steel”.
Following guitarist E.V. Martel’s announcement that he will not be available next year, Manowar have invited metal shred legend Michael Angelo Batio to perform with them. Martel announced on social media that he will take a break from touring for personal reasons. He added: “Manowar, their crew, along with all the Manowarriors around the world have been really great to me from the moment I came onboard. I could not be more thankful for the good times we have shared.”
“We love and respect E.V. and support his decision,” said Joey DeMaio. “He is a true brother, and we’ll forever share unforgettable memories like playing near the Arctic Circle or in Mexico for the first time!”
Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio and Batio have shared a video for their warm-up routine for the upcoming tour, which can be seen below.
