Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York. Formed in 1980, the band is known for lyrics based on fantasy themes, particularly sword and sorcery, as well as mythology including Norse and Greco-Roman traditions, alongside songs that celebrate heavy metal music and its audience. The group is also associated with a loud and emphatic sound. In 2007, bassist Joey DeMaio stated in an interview that he believed contemporary metal lacked large, epic productions with heavily layered instrumentation.
