But frontman Eric Adams takes it to yet another level as 'Swords In The Wind' is a haunting battle cry decreeing "the sons of Odin" to "fight to die." 'An American Trilogy' is a puzzling ditty craving for Dixieland, leaving you to wonder if Manowar have steroids on the brain. And this is where WOTW manages to stand alone in this overcrowded realm where power and progression become blurred with mediocrity and repetitiveness. 'Call To Arms' is a driving opener pledging the band's allegiance to the core while 'The Fight For Freedom' is a marching epic that leads to the Italian operatic 'Nessun Dorma', which causes an immediate double-take with its grandiose feel. And if you can get by the overbearing, persistent preaching, Warriors Of The World is a moving record, leather, bikes and all. It reeks of all the vital Manowar cheese, but adds bold elements rarely seen in power metal.
