Manowar – Hail to England (1984)

Manowar plays metal’s metal, the impersonal human experience in a universe of action, obsessed with power and overcoming. The paintings here are over-human. We can see the settings, the haunts, painted for us in vivid color by the music, but these are always entirely centered on action, on human action.

Celtic Frost – Monotheist (2006)
