HAMMER OF THE GODS - 7th sneak into the upcoming TAS short novel by Wolfgang Hohlbein.
Suddenly one of his companions turned around with a surprised sound.The edge of the forest was not empty anymore, and now Thor knew who could hold a sword of this size. Even the smallest of the half dozen figures that had come out of the woods and approached them without any noise, was considerably taller than him, and the tallest must be at least a headlenght taller.
They were no mythical giants like one knew them from the tales that the men were telling at night around the campfires and with which they used to scare their kids, but they were really big. None of them made the slightest noise, but they all stared at them, in silent menace

ASGARDIAN'S DAY - My Story
Author: AirKingHey all brothers & and sisters of Metal. This is my story how Manowar came to me and became an addiction. My name is Emil and i live in Sweden, Svärtinge. I´m 16 years old and have since i was a baby been surrounded by Heavy Metal and all kindes of Metal. So when i was around 13 years my best friend played blood brothers to me and thats pretty much it, It f***** rocked my world \m/. The best thing about Manowar, the thing that seperates it from other music and bands is their strenght. So inspiring, And when i feel down, there´s nothing better then a cup of coffe and som Manowar, When i´m angry, When i feel patriotic, Loved, Hated,. Manowars lyrics and sound always find a way to connect. Me and my friends call it in swedish, Mästerverk x ] <3 Hail All Of You
******************************************************
Share your thoughts, your dreams and the way your life connects with MANOWAR, WOLFGANG HOHLBEIN and eventually THE ASGARD SAGA!!! LTHBYG!!

HAMMER OF THE GODS - 6th sneak into the upcoming short novel by Wolfgang Hohlbein!!
''In this city, Thor.'' Torben began to talk. ''On this godforsaken island, what has happend?''''You know it'', he answered. ''You were there with me''.
Torben´s voice was calm when he responded. ''Okay then, I´ll ask you more directly: Who are you?''
''Who am I?'', Thor shook his head in astonishment. ''What´s this, Torben? Who other than you could answer this question? You are my oldest and dearest friend! You raised me after my parents died. You taught me to walk and to talk, to hunt and to fight. You introduced me to women, and taught me everything I had to know for this moment, and you helped me to bring my children into this world! If not you, who else should know who I am? Propably you are the only real friend I ever had''!

Death To Infidels World Tour 2010 - Leg 1 - Thank You!
MANOWAR and their special guests HolyHell and Metalforce celebrated an ass-kicking start to 2010.While the bands metalized concert venues across Germany throughout the month of January, MANOWAR fans proved, once again, that they are the sole defenders of true metal.
Thanks to the best fans in the world it was another great experience in the homeland of Richard Wagner, our metal forefather. And extra special thanks goes out to all of the fans who travelled hundreds of miles from other countries. If your local promoters show some balls, we will soon play in your countries too!
Rest assured, the metal party will continue soon - visit our website for news on future tour dates and the program for Magic Circle Festival IV, which takes place on July 11th in Tolmin/Slovenia.
Death to false metal!
Death to Infidels!
Hail & Kill!
MANOWAR!
