{"product_id":"manowar-kings-of-metal","title":"KINGS OF METAL","description":"Adapter: Joey DeMaio.\nPersonnel: Eric Adams (vocals); Ross the Boss (guitar, keyboards); Joey DeMaio (guitar, 8-string bass); Rich Breen (recorder); Chris Beale (vibraphone); Scott Columbus (drums, percussion); Vincent Gutman (drums).\nAudio Mixers: Vincent Gutman; Rich Breen .\nRecording information: Thirsty Whale; Universal Recording, Chicago, IL.\nArranger: Joey DeMaio.\nOn their anthemic mission statement \"Kings of Metal\" Manowar once again proclaim their metal superiority thusly: \"Other bands play, Manowar kills.\" The twin sentiments of the group's metal mastery and the majesty of medieval heroism in battle are repeated on their sixth full-length release, Kings of Metal. There aren't too many surprises on the disc, with the possible exception of bassist Joey DeMaio's blinding 64th-note bass playing on a reworking of Russian classicist Rimsky-Korsakov's \"Flight of the Bumblebee\" entitled \"Sting of the Bumblebee.\" Considered by some fans to be a classic of its own, the 1988 release has quite a few ballads, though speedier tracks like \"Wheels of Fire\" demonstrate the groups talents best. Besides their refreshingly totalistic loyalty to form, Manowar's most admirable trait is their prodigious metal musicianship. ~ Vincent Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/25\/1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Manowar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44562389139689,"sku":"HJA8GZ-YVF5-00","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Manowar-KINGS-OF-METAL_gnIRv_7efb8da9-45bf-480a-a5ae-5627e5290790.jpg?v=1741274239","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/manowar-kings-of-metal","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
