there are many people's voices's that sound the same!!! The director/producer Orson Welles had a narrating part for the song Dark Avenger only!!! 3;-7
This was the first Manowar album I ever got. My brother gave me his old tape of it and I listened to it fanatically. Ended up buying them all. THIS is real Heavy Metal!
Orson Wells was such a good actor that he got fined by the FCC one time being on the radio one time and making people believe that the world was coming to an end due to an alien invasion. We call that movie, now, War Of The Worlds.
this song brings so many good old memories in... God, it was 1987, and I was 15 and listening to malice and manowar all the time... and so did my friends... wow great times indeed. I wish I could live one of those magic days just to remember how intense they were...
Ahhh the eighties, when you actually had to know what metal was all about!
I know there not huge here in the US but I'm surprised so many bitch about this CD saying they sold out. I disagree, its the only exposure most Americans have had with m.o.w. ironic they are american.
wow..has to be the most moving and powerful intros of all time,the times they speak of in their song have long since passed,it is a terrible tragedy that there is little or no honor left in so many of us.While very few among us still show these admirable traits.They are few and far between.
I'm sure someone has already posted this, but the Orson Welles part is what pushes this highly emotional song over the top. Incredible, incredible stuff
I haven't listened to this song in a long ass time. Even though I listen to Manowar all the time. Truly epic. Takes on twice as much heavy metal weight with Scott's passing, sorry to say. Glad I saw him with Manowar. Such a no-bullshit drummer.
@txflood77598 You've been mis informed... It's Orson Welles. It was actually recorded in '83. Orson Welles died in '85 and defender was released on Fighting the World in '87. He's also the narrator on "dark avenger" from their first album.
Hail to Manowar, the greatest metal band ever. Never understood why people dislike this band, they are the pinnacle of all things that are heavy metal.
The haters need to realise that the early loin cloth/80s Manowar have long gone and they moved on. Personally, I listen to Manowar's music, their image doesn't concern me. I just wish all the ignorant haters would think the same.
@Highlander01 I was talking about Manowar today with some friends about how awesome their gig was at Birmingham and what an awesome voice Eric has. What do I get in return? Them sniggering and making dumn ass comments saying 'oh were they wearing loin cloths?'. I replied that they don't have that image anymore and wear a more motorbike leather look. To which they said, 'yeah gay bikers'. Unfortunately some people will never understand how brilliant and true to traditional metal Manowar are.
@heavymetalmullet I know, dude. I was at the same gig in the UK and it was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, ignorance is bliss and you'll never change some peoples minds about Manowar. Let them live in their small, narrow-minded world. If they don't wish to embrace the beauty of Manowars music, then shame on them.
Its not a fake voice and its not a load of shit - the voice is Orson Wells - one of the greatest Actors in the world - and Manowar is the greatest Metal Band in the world!!!
HAIL FROM WASHINGTON BROTHERS!!! My daddy dedicated this song to me when i was young.. its literally THE most powerful song ive ever had the pleasure of listening to... FIGHT PROUD MY SON!!!!
My oh my.... I just took a trip back all the way to 1984.... This song is the closest to a time machine I could ever come close to. Wow... I was just a little boy and we'd all gather and rip this song as loud as we could (For as long as our parents would stomach it).
