444 - Manowar Blood of the Kings 1988

Manowar made their mark on metal history when they released their debut "Battle Hymns". Soon after the release of their fourth album, "Sign of the Hammer", they got crowned by the Guinness World Records "Loudest band in the world"; probably because they play live at 129.5 decibels through about 10 tons of amplifiers. "Kings of Metal" was released in 1988, the last track is "Blood of the Kings", it starts out with Eric Adams's thunderous high notes, Eric sings a list of a number of countries that Manowar fans hail from. The guitar solo that Ross the Boss performs in the middle of the song makes it better.
