Interview with Eric Adams and useful links about the new EP "Thunder in the Sky"

I collected some links with useful information about the upcoming MANOWAR EP "Thunder in the Sky":

There's a brand new audio interview with Eric where he talks about the upcoming EP, the recording of the song "Father" in different languages and much more.

1st song preview of what I think would be the title track of the new EP "Thunder in the Sky": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUi3O75MERo&feature=channel_page

2st song preview of the same song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkllfVTRPFA&feature=channel_page

Short clip of another new song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNYyQXtbfJk&feature=channel_page (probably "God Or Man")

And yet another song preview... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HfR-PkPc5k (probably "Let the Gods Decide")

I think it sounds great and really promising.... more guitar oriented stuff, double bass... it's going to be a killer album. And the song names sound like it would be some really epic stuff, and reminds me of Into Glory Ride, The Triumph of Steel etc..

And some footage from the Magic Circle offices getting ready for the tour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CucjB3U19JE&feature=channel_page

Donnie is back

One of the most exciting news concering the tour this year is the return of Donnie Hamzik, the orginal drummer of MANOWAR, which you can hear on the album Battle Hymns.

Donnie made a guest appearance at 2005 years Earthshaker together with the band and Ross the Boss, playing both "Metal Daze" and "Dark Avenger".

I had some e-mail contact with Donnie after the Earthshaker, and he was hoping that he would play with the band again...... and now his dream come true!

Donnie 2009 and 1981.

On the sad part of the news, Scott Colombus is still not available after personal tradgedies in his family. I wish Scott all the best and hope to see him back behind the drums soon!

Here's a video clip with Donnie, posed by Neil Johnson on his Youtube account http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1HjbGKN1TM

Festival season is coming up

Sorry for not updating in a long time, hopefully I'll get this site going now when festival season is coming up.... I've scheduled the shows on Norway Rock and in Loreley... I'm also looking into the possibilities to see the show next Saturday in Finland, that would be awesome!

Be sure to check out the new previews directly from the studio if you've missed them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNYyQXtbfJk. Neil Johnson (the director of the Hell on Earth series) is doing us fans a huge favor when uploading those previews!! Thank you! Subscribe to his channel.

I've been involved in another project lately, as translating material for The Asgard Saga which is a collaboration between MANOWAR and Wolfgang Hohlbein. Be sure to check it out.
