Asked what made this Battle Hymns 2011 tour so special compared to previous ones, bassi st Joey DeMaio explained: “With this tour we are paying tribute to our beginnings. It's very important to not forget where one starts. We are playing in venues similar to the ones of our first tours. They bring band and fans closer together. We love playing big halls and stadiums as well as festivals, and we are looking forward to doing this next year again. But these more 'personal' gigs have a very unique atmosphere. And like with the re-recorded Battle Hymns album, we give the fans the best of both worlds: The atmosphere of the past with the best technology of today.”
MANOWAR had recently re-recorded their highly acclaimed debut album, since finally technology had caught up with MANOWAR's custom-built touring and recording equipment. The classic hymns now feature the massive sound and production that has become MANOWAR's signature over recent years and records, and also include a narration by screen legend and Heavy Metal brother Sir Christopher Lee on "D ark Avenger".
