Manowar

Battle Hymns

Battle Hymn

Vocals

Obviously this guy can sing very well. I am not as much of a fan of how he sings "kill." I suppose it may be the word itself that I don't care for too, lol.

Music

To me this sounds like a song even older than it is. The intro build up makes a lot of sense with this style. Memorable, I could see this getting stuck in my head. The layout is well thought out, the guitar solo lasted the right length. Solid for this style.

Lyrics

This is obviously talking about war. I am not going to say for sure which one, but I think the words make some sense trying to grasp how it would be marching into battle.

By moonlight, we ride
10 000 side by side
With swords drawn, held high
Our whips and armor shine
Hail to thee, our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now
