Weird. I see different release dates for it. Metal Archives and Wikipedia say '84, but a bunch of other sources say '83. Confused.

And the second Manowar album is probably their poorest for their very early phase as well.

You're out of your ****ing mind. Manowar's second album might just be their creative peak. After that they slowly went further and further toward self-parody. That album is one of the most epic (as in Viking-epic) records I've ever heard. The slower tempo and emphasis on heaviness, along with the fantasy atmosphere, was and is pretty unique and powerful. I always think of it being to Bathory's Hammerheart, what Conan the Barbarian is to
Lord of the Rings. It might not be entirely consistent, but most Manowar albums aren't.

Oh, **** that! I've said it in the past, but if he puts god damn
Dokken over Manowar and Mercyful Fate, I am boycotting this ****ing journal.
