Manowar is an American heavy metal band formed in Auburn, New York, in 1980. The band is renowned for its lyrics, which frequently explore fantasy themes such as sword and sorcery, alongside various mythologies, particularly Norse and Greco-Roman lore. Their music consistently emphasizes the core characteristics of heavy metal and its associated culture, marked by a loud and emphatic sound.

In February 2007, bassist Joey DeMaio characterized the band's output as "big, epic metal," notable for its prominent guitars, choirs, and orchestral arrangements. This grand sonic approach has become a hallmark of Manowar's identity.
