If you had never heard of Manowar and just poured in in Valby Hallen in such a 1. april, then one would undoubtedly think you were resting in the middle of a large-scale April fools ‘ day.

But Manowar have resembled a mixture of the Chippendales and Conan every day since 1980, and it is also not news that the soldiers from the Auburn, New York to play heavy metal with a penchant for chants about swords, vikings and more swords.

A short transition, it was funny. It is a long time ago. Now it is sad.

Manowar are, thankfully, drawn on the afskedsturnéen The Final Battle, but, unfortunately, to Denmark.

Afdansningsballet was something of a struggle to get through in the old sports hall, where Joey DeMaios bass blævrede, so the stripes were about to fall out of the badminton courts.

the Music was just bad.

DeMaios interaction with the band’s new, Swedish drummer, Anders Johansson, was certainly not as tight as the d mens leather pants, and the new, brazilian guitarist, E. V. Martel, milled just aimlessly lir.

Ungersvenden replaces the quartet’s long-standing guy on the spade, Karl Logan, who, indeed, were arrested in the last year due to possession of child pornography.

Manowars 66-year-old singer, Eric Adams, heart was broken all, rallede and howled like a man who was thrown from a ledge with a fire in the lokkerne. During the ballad ’Swords in the Wind’ was one, and hoped he as hell would blow the scene.

Even the glorious intersections as ’Thor (The Powerhead)’, ’The Gods Made Heavy Metal’ and ‘Kings of Metal‘ got legionærerne maltrakteret without authority, drive and energy in front of an otherwise indulgent, strong and devoted fan base, who faithfully supported the heroes after decades of service in the favoritgenren.

The only heavy that is at the Manowars metal anno 2019 is, however, that they are gumpetunge.

With tickets for 695 dollars and T-shirts to the 350 is ringvragene on a last outgunned through the world, but up against a sceneudsmykning that looked like a fortress built of papier-mâché, were good enough neither the stone or swords for skillingerne.

So ridiculous you would think it was a lie.
