[edit] True Metal

Listen, I don't wana start a war here, but Manowar call themselves True Metal, also if you need proof read this:

"True Metal is a term coined by the U.S. power metal band Manowar in the 1980s. It was originally used to combat the commercialized glam and pop metal styles of the time. It came into wider use in the 1990s as newer subgenres such as nu-metal and alternative metal came into existence. It is used to differentiate between these non-traditional styles and long-established and integritous forms of Heavy Metal, such as thrash metal, power metal, death metal, black metal, doom metal, and the NWOBHM among others."

Still, it's not a genre. It's a kind of ideology, the feeling of metal spirit. Manowar are true metal band, but this is not their genre (their genre is Haevy metal with a bit of Power metal), but their way to live. And of course, "True metal" cannot be an album's genre.

Manowar is PURE HEAVY METAL!!! NOT FUCKIG POWER!!!

Listen, if you even liked Manowar you'd change add the genre yourself. True Metal even has it's own Wiki page, therefore it does exist. Point proved. Jay316 17:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Did you read this page yourself?

True metal is a subjective term which was coined and used by the band Manowar in the 1980s.

We use no "Hollywood metal" genre for Rhapsody, no "Love metal" for HIM, no "Teutonic Tanz-metal" for Rammstein. We must add only what music is, not what the band call themselves. Stop edit war - "genre" you add is not encyclopedic. Only genre that describes music can be added. Garret Beaumain 17:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

But surely what a band calls themselves as is a description of what type of music they play Jay316 18:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Not the genre field: it's for how people in general describe them. --Piet Delport 18:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hail Gods of War!!!

"PURE HEAVY METAL!!! NOT FUCKIG POWER"

What? They can't be both?

You know, something that has always annoyed the shit out of me is that most people seem to think that no two types of music could be more different than orchestral and heavy metal, and that the two couldn't possibly go together; but this album proves that wrong. Here, the two are blended seamlessly and beautifully, and, while an unlikely combination it may be, it works out great!
