I stumbled upon Manowar in Jack Black's video game Brutal Legend (it has a mostly metal soundtrack); their song The Dawn of Battle was featured and totally melted my face off. A little bit of internets later, I came across this *awesome* concept album that crosses a rock opera with metal and Norse mythology. It's not just metal thrashing all album long; there is definitely a symphonic metal influence, including a choir and symphonic orchestra. The album opens with an overture and has a few very artistic interludes. I'll be honest, though - sometimes the metal just dominates, and I mean DOMINATES (make sure your speakers are turned up to 11):
With the interactions between Loki, Odin, and Thor, as well as armies swearing allegiance and vowing to die in battle with a background of rock, if you are interested in mythology or metal, you really need to check it out!
Not my kind of music, but thanks for sharing. Font for their name seems metallica-esque.
