BLACK WIND FIRE AND STEEL
De nuevo en el blog uno de esos discos fundamentales del heavy metal en general, y de Manowar en particular, un disco que
les supuso un paso adelante a nivel internacional, el "Fighting the
world" de 1987. Se trata de su quinta obra de estudio. En aquellos
momentos Manowar estaba en plena conquista del mercado internacional, y
para ello habían ya firmado con varias discográficas diferentes a estas
alturas de su carrera. Para este disco firmaron con "Atlantic Records",
una de las grandes, lo que les aseguraba mayor distribución para poder
legar a más rincones hasta ese momento fuera de su influencia. La
operación resulto ser un éxito pero para que así fuera tuvo mucha
importancia que el disco era espectacular, el más pulido hasta ese
momento y el comienzo de una senda de éxito y un sonido muy reconocible
desde ahí en adelante. Además es con este disco cuando comienzan a
contar con los servicios de Ken Kelly como portadista, una de las señas
de identidad del grupo en los siguientes discos. El éxito con este larga
duración les terminó de hacer un nombre entre el gran público y les
abriría las puertas a su época más exitosa en cuestión de ventas a nivel
mundial, y es que este disco está muy bien compuesto, con grandes temas
que hacen difícil quedarse solo con uno. Hoy quiero escoger otra de sus canciones, y en esta ocasión me voy a decantar por su "Black wind fire and steel", uno de los temazos de la obra, del que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.
Full moon's light is calling me
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see in darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see in darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
