My lass bought me this yesterday and I must say its awesome. Im a fan of everything Manowar has done and am glad to say that this doesnt dissapoint. Was wondering others opinions on the stylistic direction and production of this release and the interesting idea of the 15 language versions of "father". I liked Gods of War alot but am glad they toned down the orchestra alot as it did kind of ruin the flow of GoW. Opinions.

I like the idea of metal being in different languages actually.
I'd love to hear Celtic Frost in Romansch!

Can't wait for the album.

Manowar's Magic Circle Festival might be spiralling down the toilet at an alarming rate, but the EP rips face. The more I listen to "God or Man", the more convinced I am that it's the best song they've written in 10 years.

By the way, does anyone know just what the hell "The Asgard Saga" is about? All I hear is bullshit from the band about how it's an "interactive fan experience." Like...what is it?

Listening to Joey DeMaio talk about The Asgard Saga is like listening to an Apple marketing rep talk about their latest product. "Don't ask what The Asgard Saga can do for you! Ask what YOU can do for IT!"

By the way, if anyone wants a laugh check out this video of Joey bitching about the Magic Circle Festival venue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e1uydxtE_Q

Knowing Manowar, I wouldn't put it past them to reference tits both subconsciously AND deliberately at the same time.

Manowar reference tits? Doubtful. Maybe shirtless greased up men, but not tits.

Not to disappoint you, but the acronym "shirtlessgreasedupmen"would imply a title far too long for an EP.

My point is, I think that any reference Manowar makes to any part of th female anatomy is purely accidental.
