Manowar Songs Ranked
Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York. Formed in 1980, the group is known for lyrics based on fantasy (particularly sword and sorcery) and mythology (particularly Norse mythology and Greco-Roman mythology), as well as numerous songs celebrating the genre and its core audience. The band is also known for a loud and emphatic sound. In an interview for MTV in February 2007, bassist Joey DeMaio lamented that “these days, there’s a real lack of big, epic metal that is drenched with crushing guitars and choirs and orchestras… so it’s nice to be one of the few bands that are actually doing that”. In 1984, the band was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for delivering the loudest performance, a record which they have since broken on two occasions. They also hold the world record for the longest heavy metal concert after playing for five hours and 1 minute in Bulgaria (at Kavarna Rock Fest) in 2008. Here are all of Manowar songs ranked.

19. Sons of Odin (The Sons of Odin, 2006)
“I love it, I love manowar, you are the best in the world… This song is one of the best songs by Manowar. The thundering guitar riff gives it more feeling, and makes it a pretty decent workout song. It is also Eric Adams’ voice at it’s best. The guitar solo, while tapping, is awesome too.”
18. Hand of Doom (Warriors of the World, 2002)
“Best song by Manowar. Hand of doom is fast pace and hard hitting. How could it be this far down? Hand of doom, house of death, warriors of the world and call to arms are their best songs.”
17. March for Revenge (Into Glory Ride, 1983)
“This song is one of the best songs by Manowar. The thundering guitar riff gives it more feeling, and makes it a pretty decent workout song. It is also Eric Adams’ voice at it’s best. The guitar solo, while tapping, is awesome too.”
