CALL TO ARMS
Poco ya que decir de Manowar, su mito y cifras hablan por ellos, más
de 10 millones de discos
vendidos hablan de una superbanda, y atendiendo a su discografía no se
puede decir otra cosa, pues en ella encontramos temas memorables y
discos irrepetibles haciendo de ellos uno de los grandes a nivel mundial
en la historia de nuestra música. Hoy voy a escoger otro tema de su
novena obra de estudio, "Warriors of the world", de 2002, un discazo que
vino al rescate de la banda tras 6 años de silencio tras el gran
"louder than hell" de 1996. En "Warriors
of the world" nos encontramos con unos Manowar renovados, que tras
haber "ordeñado" indeciblemente la "vaca" de sus temas pasados, con dos
recopilatorios consecutivos, "The kingdom of steel" y "Steel Warriors",
ambos de 1998, un álbum en directo en 1999 con 4 singles (también en
directo) "personalizados" para cuatro países diferentes, Francia,
Alemania, Portugal y España, y la edición en 2000 del primero de sus
vídeos de la saga "Hell on earth", que actualmente ya va por la parte 5,
y que nos narra lo "True Metaleros" que son en sus actuaciones,etc,
notaba la demanda por parte de sus fans de material nuevo y de calidad para
no desengancharse del "carro" de los guerreros americanos. Y así, en
2002 graban este gran disco para seguir aumentando las hordas de
seguidores y consolidar a los que sopesaban abandonar a los
truemetaleros por excelencia, aburridos con tanto material repetido en
forma de directos y recopilaciones, que no se me entienda mal, adoro la
música de estos tíos, su actitud ultraheavy, pero realmente aburren con
tanta historia paralela quemando tiempo que podría invertir en aumentar
su leyenda en forma de nuevas obras...en fin quizá por ese motivo en
2003, DeMaio fundó su propio sello discográfico, de manera que fuesen
absolutamente independientes de presiones ajenas a la banda, y porque
no, para comerse así todo el pastel generado por la banda ellos solitos.
Volviendo al disco que nos ocupa, grandes temas lo componen, y hoy
quiero dejar en el blog otro de ellos,
"Call to arms",la primera declaración de intenciones de este disco, tema potente al más puro estilo Manowar,
True metal de primera, con doble ración de "Actitud", y es que hay que
reconocer que cuando estos se lo proponen son imparables. Dejo un
enlace a yourtube de este tema, "Call to arms".
When they see us they will run for their lives
To the end they will pay for their lies
So long did we wait now we are home
Here once again there's a battle to fight
Gathered together for the sound and the might
So long did we wait now we are home
Now we will fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
I now issue the call are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right
To be free once again tonight we will win
I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of steel now we are home
Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
To no man shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel
Fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
I now issue the call are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right
To be free once again tonight we will win
I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of steel now we are home
Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
To no man shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel
To the end they will pay for their lies
So long did we wait now we are home
Here once again there's a battle to fight
Gathered together for the sound and the might
So long did we wait now we are home
Now we will fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
I now issue the call are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right
To be free once again tonight we will win
I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of steel now we are home
Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
To no man shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel
Fight for the kingdom fighting with steel
Kill all of them their blood is our seal
Fight till the last of the enemy is dead
Ride through their blood that we gladly have shed
I now issue the call are you ready to fight
Fight all together as one for the right
To be free once again tonight we will win
I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
You came here for metal to fight and to die
Defenders of steel now we are home
Fight for the kingdom bound for glory
Armed with a heart of steel
And I swear by the brothers who stand before me
To no man shall I kneel
Their blood is upon my steel
Blood is upon my steel
