Artist description “The whole purpose of playing live is to blow people’s heads off,” says Manowar bassist Joey DeMaio. “That’s what we do; that’s the energy of this band. We’re out there to kick ass, we’re out there to turn our gear on and blast, we’re out there to kill. That’s what metal is. Anybody who says otherwise is not playing heavy metal. We will melt your face!” With the double live CD “Hell On Stage Live”, Manowar’s first album for Metal Blade, the band proves that the demise of metal has been greatly exaggerated. In fact it’s alive and well and still and as devastating as ever. True to form, they are back with 16 tracks steeped in the august tradition of Deep Purple’s Made In Japan, The Who’s “Live at Leeds” and the Led Zep Classic, “The Song Remains The Same”. Giving fans what they’ve been waiting for.

Artist History In the beginning, Joey DeMaio was working as a bass/pyro tech for Black Sabbath. When Sabbath played a show at Newcastle City Hall in England, he hooked up with original Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss, who at the time was playing for Shakin Street, a Sabbath support band. As both shared an all-consuming love for in-your-face-metal, it was not long before they struck on the idea of Manowar. Later, having recruited the ultimate voice of heavy metal, Eric Adams (and drummer Donny Hamzik), Manowar recorded their debut album “Battle Hymns.”
